Lin Xi asked this question, not because he did not believe in Bai Shan's cultivation talent. In the sword path, the Sword Saint level is a watershed. All those who can break through to the Sword Saint are strong people from all over the continent.
The reason why he was able to break through by luck was entirely because of the help of the Lord Lian. Even so, he still suffered a huge pain before he was able to successfully advance.
He clearly remembered that three months ago, Bai Shan's cultivation level was only at the peak of the Sword King. Strictly speaking, the other party's cultivation speed was much faster than him, which made Lin Xi surprised.
Bai Shan sat there quietly, not intending to answer Lin Xi's words, and the atmosphere in the room became silent for a moment.
Seeing that the other party was not speaking, Lin Xi sighed and confirmed his guess. It seemed that Bai Shan could break through to the Sword Saint in such a short time, either relying on external forces or relying on the magic of martial arts.
No matter which aspect, it was not what Lin Xi wanted to see. Bai Shan's breath at this moment made him feel a little worried. If he lost his nature because of forcibly improving his strength, he would probably have very serious consequences in the end.
"Bai Shan, can I ask, what are you practicing for?" Lin Xi avoided this topic and spoke up to break the original silence.
"Can I not answer?" Bai Shan avoided Lin Xi's gaze, and there was still no emotion in her voice.
He looked at the other person calmly. After a moment, Lin Xi shook his head and gave up his question. It seemed that the other person should have a certain purpose in coming to the Yongyuan Realm like him.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk to me about the ancient sect." Lin Xi's expression returned to his former indifference and he said softly.
Upon hearing this, Bai Shan was obviously relieved, then nodded and said, "The location of the ancient sect is in the south of this level of ancient city, about dozens of kilometers away from here, and it will be less than a month before it is opened. This time was set by the Sword God Academy."
“What is their purpose?”
"I mentioned this to you before, and I am not very clear about the reason, but no matter what their purpose is, I must get the Ice Ice Vine!"
Speaking of this, Bai Shan's face became a little firm. Lin Xi could feel that it was not a desire for treasures, but a yearning for strength. It seemed that there was a reason to improve its strength.
Lin Xi nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will try my best to help you, but the ice fairy vine has not had an obvious effect on others. I think the resistance should not be very large."
Bai Shan shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it won't be that simple. This kind of spiritual thing will not be obtained by us so easily."
Lin Xi smiled indifferently, leaned back lazily, and said, "Let's talk about it then. The soldiers come to block the water and the soil. It's useless to think about these things now."
"Yes." Bai Shan nodded and asked, "Where have you lived in these days? There are many stone chambers here, and there is plenty of spiritual energy in the ancient city and rich sword energy, which is of great help to improve your strength."
Lin Xi straightened her body, said with a smile: "How about you stay here?"
Bai Shan was stunned for a moment. The face of the thousand-year-old ice-like ice had rarely changed. A hint of anger appeared in the depths of her eyes, but the words she said were still dull.
"Okay, yes, but I can't guarantee that you will be intact when you wake up in the morning."
After hearing the other party's words, Lin Xi became cold all over and smiled embarrassedly.
"I saw a good place next to me, so stay there, and there is a way to take care of each other."
Bai Shan thought for a while and replied, "Well, okay, the Long Zhuo and the other two are very strong, so we should be careful then."
"Don't worry."
...
In another huge stone room, three people sat around the table and talked about wine.
"Brother Long, will Lin Xi's sudden appearance cause any variable?" The young man in a red robe spoke, even if he sat there calmly, there was a trace of evil spirit circling around his body.
"Don't worry about him, just a boy who has just become a Sword Saint, but his strength is beyond his ability, but compared to Bai Shan, the latter is more threatening." Long Zhuo, dressed in black, took a sip of wine and said lightly.
"This is a good thing. That woman is very strange. When I fought with her before, I felt that the flow of sword energy in my body slowed down. It was really strange." The young man in white on the other side also put down his wine glass and spoke with a serious expression, obviously very afraid of it.
Long Zhuo nodded and said, "Yes, Bai Shan should have gone to the Ice Immortal Vine. This thing is useless to the three of us. If it is absolutely necessary, she will go there."
Upon hearing this, both of them nodded in agreement. There were many good things in the ancient sect, and there was no need to have too much conflict with each other because of an ice fairy vine.
The conversation between the three continued, and at this time Lin Xi also came to a stone room. The environment inside was not far from that of Bai Shan's. After lying comfortably on the bed, he fell into deep thought.
He will leave the wasteland in less than two months. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to successfully enter the Sword God Academy. He is also very looking forward to the top academic institution that everyone in mainland swordsmen yearns for. He may be able to find out about his mother at that time.
There is no news in places like the wasteland, so he also wants to leave this place quickly.
Time passed day by day, and Long Zhuo and the others did not intend to have any interaction with Lin Xi and Bai Shan, so they never met. However, when the ancient city was hit by the monsters, the five people finally stood together again.
Standing on the city wall, Lin Xi looked at the countless monsters in front of him with a serious expression. It seemed that the old man said that before was right. There was no absolutely safe place in this wasteland.
"Two, how about you guys guarding over there?" In this case, Long Zhuo on the side also chose to cooperate and turned to Bai Shan and Lin Xi and said.
Looking at the place Long Zhuo pointed, Lin Xi nodded and said, "No problem."
After speaking, Lin Xi and Bai Shan jumped down from the city wall, and the thick sword element swept out and rushed towards the group of monsters on the right.
"Be careful, there are many level 6 or even level 7 monsters among these monsters." Watching the two of them leave quietly, Long Zhuo turned around and said to the two people beside him.
"Don't worry, hehe, I like this kind of occasion the most." The young man in a red robe licked his lips, with a bloodthirsty smile in his eyes.
Bang bang!
Among the fierce beast groups, several spiritual swords rushed forward, sword shadows roared, and powerful sword element waves spread. The five of them were all powerful sword saints. Even when facing this terrifying beast tide, they were not afraid at all.
Under such a fierce attack, even these extremely powerful monsters had their skin and flesh bloomed in an instant, blood flew everywhere, and tragic roars came one after another. Outside the ancient city, corpses were everywhere for a moment.
Faced with these countless monsters, Lin Xi had to control three spirit swords at the same time, flying around in the group of beasts. Each time it was killed with one blow, either stabbing the monsters' heads or cutting their throats. The speed of harvesting life made Bai Shan on the side secretly shocked.
"So you have the third spiritual sword in the spirit." Bai Shan's voice came, and her eyes stared curiously at the silver spiritual sword that was constantly passing through the front. Wherever you passed, thunder roared, the air shaking, and the breath was very strong.
Before, she was curious about how the other party broke through to the Sword Saint, and after seeing this third spiritual sword, she understood it.
"I'm lucky." Lin Xi's eyes were bright, and she looked carefully at the monsters around her and said.
"Ao!"
At some point, Xiaoying came out of Lin Xi's arms and looked at the group of monsters in front of him. He screamed excitedly, and then rushed into the group of monsters with a whoosh, picking those monsters of the Fire genus to kill them and get the core.
Bai Shan looked at the red figure in surprise. Of course she knew this guy and had been staying by Lin Xi's side, but the other party looked a little more terrifying than before.
The five people were all very powerful, so after half an hour of killing, the group of monsters finally became afraid and retreated together, leaving behind corpses all over the ground.
"Bang!"
He killed a monster with one sword. Lin Xi held a red beast core into the spirit ring with a right hand, and smiled on his face. Including what he had gained before, now there are no less than a hundred beast cores of varying levels in his spirit ring.
If these beast cores are sold to the outside world, they will be considered a considerable asset.
After meeting Long Zhuo and the other two, they had no intention of talking to each other and returned to their own stone chamber.
"There are less than seven days left, I really want to leave this soon..." Lin Xi said leisurely sitting on a stone chair.
Bai Shan, who was beside him, glanced at the other party and said, "It seems you don't like this place."
"Nonsense, I'm isolated from the world, and there are monsters around me, who would like it?" Lin Xi curled his lips and said helplessly.
"I'll leave soon..." Bai Shan's voice was filled with inexplicable charm.
At this time, in a grand hall outside, a majestic old man sat on the main seat, with more than a dozen people sitting in the hall one after another, and the breath on each of them gave people a feeling of suffocation.
"The assessment is coming to an end. Do you have anything to say?" The old man on the main seat was speaking, and he was full of momentum and was not angry, making people dare not look directly at him.
The people in the hall looked at each other, and one of them said, "Dean, that boy Long Zhuo is good, we have taken over the Wushuang Palace."
"Why are you the Wushuang Palace? Long Zhuo's strength is the top among these hundred people. I'm afraid it's not your turn to such a talented person?"
When a middle-aged man next to him heard this, he spoke without hesitation. After saying that, he did not forget to look in one direction. There was a man in brown clothes sitting there. He was not young and in his twenties. Judging from his face, it was Ouyang, who Lin Xi had met before!
Feeling the eyes of several people, Ouyang, who was sitting there bored, raised his eyelids and said, "Senior Brother said, our Tianzhu Palace is not interested in Long Zhuo, so you can do whatever you want."
After hearing Ouyang's words, the other middle-aged people, who were quite old, breathed a sigh of relief. The words of a mere disciple were so powerful, which shows the status of the Heavenly Punishment Hall in the Sword God Academy.
