Heading north along the edge of Taihang Mountain, Shang Pei and Shang Xia's aunt and nephew flew hundreds of miles away and came to an inconspicuous small village.
"When did you build a village here?"
After talking about the escape from light, Shang Xia looked at Cen Wu and others who came out of the village and asked with some surprise.
Shang Pei said casually: "Have you never heard of the Cunning Rabbit's Three Caves? But I haven't been back here for many years."
As he walked towards the village, Cen Wu said: "You Yan's Eighteen Riders have been traversing Jizhou for more than ten years. During this period, some people were injured, some quit, some got old, as well as family members, relatives, descendants, etc., there will always be
There is a place for proper settlement. Over time, this place has become a village."
While talking, Cen Wu led the two of them to a seemingly spacious courtyard in the village.
"This is the courtyard of Third Sister's house. Miss Min and Xiao Yuanyuan have lived here for a long time."
Cen Wu was mainly introducing Shang Xia, while Shang Pei was more reminiscing after entering the courtyard.
Arriving at Shangfang Hall, Shang Xia asked casually: "Are everyone else in Youyan Village still safe?"
Cen Wu smiled and said: "The journey has been smooth. Everything here is simple. If Mr. Shang needs anything, please let us know and we will do our best to prepare."
"I have nothing..."
Shang Xia's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"How are you?"
Shang Pei also looked a little unsightly due to the depletion of evil spirits in his body, but his internal injuries were not serious.
Shang Xia stretched out his hand to stop the two people who were in a panic, and said weakly: "It's nothing, just spit out the blood and it will be fine."
Shang Pei could roughly feel the injuries in his body, and frowned and said: "You didn't treat the injury well, and then you forced yourself on someone, which shocked your internal organs again, and then you managed to hold on all the way back here. Only then did you
Injured again."
Shang Xia wiped the blood from his mouth and said with a smile: "I can't help it. I don't know how many pairs of eyes were watching overtly or secretly at that time. Whenever you and my aunt and nephew showed any signs of weakness, they would immediately swarm us like hyenas."
Shang Pei nodded, and then said: "I have never asked before, what kind of martial skill is the palm you used to slap Ye Yifan away? The power is too overbearing, and those with less experience may regard it as a fourth-level god.
Pass."
Shang Xia took out an exquisite wine flask from his sleeves, took a deep sip of the Baihua Spirit Brew inside, and said: "I thought of it unintentionally and called it...'Four Elephant Palms'. In fact,
In my current state, it was impossible for me to send out a second palm."
"Four Elephant Palms?"
Shang Pei read this strange name for a moment, but he didn't dwell too much on it. Instead, he nodded and said, "The Four Elephant Palms are more intimidating to those fourth-level heavenly warriors than your 'Grain Rain' style."
…………
Shang Xia temporarily settled down in this small village.
Both Shang Xia and Shang Pei need a period of training to recover from injuries in the body and their own condition.
Compared to Shang Pei, Shang Xia actually needs more time to settle at this time.
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. Whether Shang Xia wants to create his own martial arts or martial arts, the most difficult stage is the stage from scratch.
Once he successfully took the first step, sorted out the overall framework of the "Four Seasons and Four Scenes Reincarnation Technique", and slashed the first sword in the fourth-level martial arts, then the rest was just to open up and expand in this direction.
Just perfect.
Although this process is cumbersome and requires a lot of time and energy for trial and error and verification, every success is a bit of accumulation and progress.
Although the magnitude is small, this feeling of making progress all the time is very satisfying, and this feeling has fascinated Shang Xia, and he has gradually become addicted to it.
If he hadn't been interrupted by Shang Pei midway, Shang Xia might even have stayed in seclusion in this small village for two or three years until the "Four Seasons and Four Scenes of Reincarnation" was completely perfected in his hands.
After Shang Xia was awakened by Shang Pei and interrupted his practice, he realized that more than three months had passed, and the time had passed from the early spring of 846 in the Shenwu Calendar to midsummer.
In the past three months, Shang Xia has not only recovered from his injuries, but his own strength has returned to its peak state. He has even improved slightly in his cultivation, and has once again refined the spirit of the four seasons.
And I don't know if Shang Xia's guess was wrong. Although the Incense of Enlightenment only burned for an hour, its inner aftertaste stayed with him for a long time.
At least Shang Xia felt that the success in his practice during this period was probably due to that incense stick of enlightenment.
After lighting the incense of enlightenment in Shang Xia,
In one fell swoop, he shortened the daily transportation of the "Four Seasons and Four Scenes Reincarnation Skill" by three and a half hours. After a month of meditation, the time was shortened by one moment again.
In the recent three months in the mountain village, even though the vitality of heaven and earth here was relatively thin, Shang Xia still managed to shorten Zhou Tian's transportation time to less than three hours.
Every time the weekly transportation cycle is shortened, it often means that the cultivation efficiency is improved.
"Did something happen?"
Shang Xia knew that without any necessary circumstances, Shang Pei would be unlikely to wake him up from his meditation practice.
"This is news from the academy, asking you to return north to Youzhou as soon as possible."
After Shang Pei told him the news, his expression seemed hesitant, as if he had something to hide.
Shang Xia didn't notice Shang Pei's expression, but he heard something from what Shang Pei relayed. He frowned and said, "Won't Third Aunt come back north with me? And everyone from Youyan Village?"
Shang Pei pondered for a moment and said: "Yin Wanxiang gathered several fourth-level masters from the Taihang Mountains and formed the Five Mountains Alliance at the Sixth Ridge. They have invited me several times..."
Shang Xia knew that Shang Pei had escaped with the help of the Five Mountains League many times when he was being chased by Ye Yifan and Zhang Luofei, so he said, "You don't want to go, but you feel you owe the Five Mountains League a favor?"
Shang Pei's expression seemed relieved when he heard this, and he sighed slightly: "I have reported this matter to the college, and the college also wants me to stay and join the Five Mountains League."
Shang Xia was startled when he heard this and said: "The academy has other plans? The secret realm of Linyuan has been destroyed. Is it possible that the academy is optimistic about the future of the Five Mountains Alliance?"
Shang Pei said: "I think it's just a matter of playing chess to warm up the cold stove."
On the contrary, Shang Pei comforted him by saying, "Actually, it doesn't matter. Over the years, I have adapted to this kind of life that is free and wandering. If I really want to go back to Tongyou City, I won't feel comfortable everywhere."
"Besides," Shang Pei paused and said, "How good do you think the current situation of the college can be?"
Shang Xia was startled and looked at Shang Pei in astonishment.
Just listen to Shang Pei say: "Twenty years ago, the outside world invaded, and the five states of Shu, Liang, Bing, You, and Qing were invaded. Of course, there were remnants of the five surnames of Yuejihui who were connected to the outside world, but the Zhu family in Youzhou
In order to promote the ancestor to the fifth level, the patriarch secretly added fuel to the flames, causing more than two-thirds of Youzhou to be invaded, and the losses were the highest among the five states."
Shang Xia nodded slightly. He knew most of these things, but he understood that Shang Pei must have more details.
"In recent years, because of the small area of Youzhou and the sparse population, there have been many discussions about abolishing Youzhou in the Cangyu Realm. Hebei and the two states have been the vanguard of carving up Youzhou. It is just because Kou Chongxue has been fooling around in Tianwai Qionglu in recent years.
, completely sacrificing the face of the fifth-level ancestor, and that’s why people turned against him.”
When Shang Xia heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and he said: "So why did Chief Kou Shan return home seriously injured in Tianwai Qionglu before? But this time the academy even did not hesitate to cooperate with the four major tribes of Cangling who had been fighting for twenty years.
And also borrowed the magical weapon 'Ling Xuan Breaking the Sky Claw' from them?"
Shang Pei nodded and said: "Even I find it incredible that Ji Wenlong sacrificed the 'Lingxuan Breaking Claw'. There may be other reasons for this, but this must be the most fundamental one. He has blocked the path of many people!"
Shang Xia quickly asked: "What is the reason why so many people want to abandon Youzhou? Who is Chief Kou Shan blocking?"
Shang Pei shook his head and said: "How can I, a person who has been outside all the time, know the secrets? But I think it may be related to the distribution of the origin of heaven and earth in the Cangyu Realm, and it may directly affect the number of martial arts warriors in the Wugang Realm, right?"
The aunt and nephew talked for a long time and exchanged some cultivation experiences with each other. Only then did Shang Xia know another reason why Shang Pei intended to join the Five Mountains Alliance.
"So, your second natal spirit evil has not been condensed and completed. This time you join the Five Mountains Alliance just to return to Yunshuijian and continue to collect the needed mist evil?" Shang Xia asked.
"Not bad!" Shang Pei sighed.
Shang Xia frowned and said: "Most of Yunshuijian has been destroyed due to the previous war, and now the lingering fog inside has dissipated. Where can I still collect fog spirits? Can't I find another place?"
Shang Pei also said helplessly: "Not to mention the 'Linyuan Fog Evil' that I need, let's call it that. It is a rare type of fog evil that may not be found in other places. Even if it is available, it may take a lot of time.
and energy to search for it. Although Yunshuijian was destroyed, I had deliberately passed by its edge when crossing the Five Mountains League before, and I could detect that there was still a small amount of mist evil remaining in it. Now I just spend some time collecting it bit by bit.
That’s all, it’s better than not having any way to collect it.”
"That
How long will it take?”
Shang Xia knew that in less than two years after Shang Pei came to Yunshuijian, he had already collected and refined most of the second natal spirit evil spirit.
In this current situation, her improvement in cultivation will inevitably be greatly delayed.
Shang Pei was a little unsure and said: "This... I can't say for sure. If it's faster, maybe five or seven years, if it's slower... ten years?"
In fact, there is a possibility that Shang Pei has not mentioned yet, that is, even the mist evil that remains in the Yunshui Gorge is actually slowly dissipating, and she does not even have that long to collect it.
To be honest, if a fourth-level warrior has the right skills, he will usually spend three to five years collecting them, and he will be able to gather a complete set of heaven and earth spirits.
Of course, more fourth-level warriors do not even have a way to collect the spirit evil spirits of heaven and earth, or are on the way to find a way.
But before, Shang Pei clearly had a faster way and was even close to succeeding, but at the last moment he fell short due to the arrival of the Linyuan Secret Realm. This was the most demoralizing part.
Shang Pei sighed at this time: "It would be great if there was any way to speed up the collection of fog evil spirits."
The speaker was unintentional but the listener was interested. Shang Xia's eyes lit up and he quickly took out the mist bead he had previously obtained from the inherited light group and said, "What do you think of this thing?"
"What is this..."
As soon as Shang Pei took it, he immediately noticed the effect of this mist bead. He suddenly raised his head and said with a happy face, "Where did it come from?"
Seeing this, Shang Xia knew there was a way, so he told her about the fog beads and the incense of enlightenment obtained from the inheritance light group.
"Enlightenment incense?"
Shang Pei said with a thoughtful look on his face: "I seem to have heard of it somewhere. From what you said, it should be a rare treasure. But for me, this mist bead is a timely rain."
Shang Xia asked: "Is this thing really useful?"
Shang Pei said proudly: "I can use this fog bead to gather the remaining mist in Yunshuijian. If everything goes well, it will only take more than half a year to refine the second natal spirit evil and advance to the fourth level of heaven."
Second floor. More importantly, in addition to creating a sea of fog with a radius of several miles, this object seems to be an artifact used by the Linyuan Sect to collect different types of fog evil spirits."
Hearing this, Shang Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's good if it's useful! But it seems that you might go to the Wushan League anyway."
Shang Pei smiled and didn't seem to care about it. Instead, he said: "Actually, I also have a piece of Linyuan Secret Realm inheritance light group in my hand. The things inside are just right for you!"
With that said, Shang Pei handed him a palm-sized jade tablet.
Shang Xia looked at the smooth and round jade tablet in his hand, and for a moment he didn't know what it was used for.
Shang Pei smiled on the side and said: "It is necessary to illuminate the jade plaque with the evil light of one's destiny to stimulate the inheritance content in it."
Upon hearing this, Shang Xia directly used a ray of evil light of the four seasons to bloom in the palm of his hand. In an instant, the jade tablet was soaked, and then a four-color light curtain was projected, with lines of writing densely appearing on it, and even at the end
There is a deeply moving image recording the production process of a martial arts talisman.
"'Lin Yuan Feng Xu Fu'!"
Shang Xia's face was full of admiration: "This is a complete set of martial arts inheritance!"
Shang Pei also said: "When I saw the inheritance content inside, I was also amazed at the rigor of the Linyuan Sect's martial talisman inheritance. This one, or more accurately, this series of 'Linyuan Fengxu Talisman',
From the lowest level one 'Linyuan Wind Borrowing Talisman', to the second level 'Linyuan Wind Catching Talisman', to the third level 'Linyuan Qi Control Talisman', and the fourth level 'Linyuan Breaking the Void Talisman'
, and finally, the fifth-level 'Linyuan Feng Xu Fu', which even those who left the inheritance have never achieved, is completely inherited from the same origin, which is breathtaking."
Shang Xia also said: "Not only that, this inheritance also records the various levels of talisman paper unique to this line of martial talismans, the production methods of talisman ink, and even the talisman pens, paperweights, inkstones used, and the time when the talisman production began.
, the length of time it took to make the talisman, the size and thickness of each stroke, the start and turn are all clearly recorded, it can be said that everything is done in detail, all that is needed is to hand it over hand by hand."
Shang Pei was amazed and asked: "I didn't take a closer look when I found out that it was a martial talisman inheritance. What is the use of this 'Linyuan Fengxu Talisman'?"
Shang Xia replied: "The first-level 'Wind Borrowing Talisman' can only make the warrior faster. The second-level 'Wind-Borrowing Talisman' can not only be used to rush on the road, but also attract a hurricane to ward off the enemy. The third-level 'Wind Control Talisman'
The "Qi Talisman" can make people fly through the air like a fourth-level warrior. As for the fourth-level "Void Breaking Talisman", it seems that it can be used to break through realm barriers, allowing warriors to cross mysterious realms, blessed lands and other secret realms, and even
,Well, I guess it is possible to go directly to Tianwai Qionglu..."
"What about the fifth level?"
Shang Pei then asked.
Shang Xia thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
