The silent night passed by quietly. When the sky was just getting dark the next day, Lin Xi, who was sleeping on the bed, opened her eyes on time.
After a night's sleep, the fatigue caused by yesterday has been completely annihilated, replaced by the vitality full of vigor.
Sitting up quickly, Lin Xi sat motionless on the bed. Ji You's tenderness last night seemed to still echo in his heart, giving him a different feeling in his heart, which had been indifferent since he was a child.
After a while, Lin Xi smiled and shook his head, getting rid of the strange thoughts in his mind, and sat cross-legged on the bed as usual. The journey of cultivation was like a boat, and if he did not advance, he would retreat. Lin Xi had been developing this since he was a child.
He has developed good habits and practices every morning. He knows that only by forcing himself to work unremittingly can he achieve the strength he wants.
As Lin Xi's breathing gradually calmed down, the calm air around her was like a stone falling into the lake. Faint fluctuations slowly floated up. Wisps of sword essence seeped out of the air and gradually penetrated into the bed.
in the figure.
After yesterday's battle, Lin Xi also deeply felt the lack of his own strength. The Seven Swords Continent is so vast. If he is always satisfied with his own strength and becomes arrogant, the consequences will only make him regret it.
Greedily absorbing the surrounding sword essence, with the support of Shenhai Jue, Lin Xi's body was like a sponge, devouring it crazily. After a short period of refining in the body, it was slowly stored in the dantian and kept hanging.
In the sea of air.
Jianyuan's practice lasted for about an hour. When the sunlight outside the window began to shine into the room, Lin Xi finished the seal in his hand and spit out a long mouthful of turbid gas.
The eyes opened, and in the dark pupils, a pale golden light flashed. After a moment, it was hidden in the deepest part of the eyes, and fell silent.
"If you want to shorten this progress, I'm afraid you have to undergo a hard training..." Lin Xi stretched his waist slightly and listened to the crackling sound coming from the bones, lowering his head and muttering to himself.
"It's time to leave." Putting aside these thoughts, Lin Xi bounced lightly and landed firmly on the ground. After straightening up, Lin Xi walked out of the door and looked at a room where the mother and daughter of the Su family lived.
location.
"It's better not to tell them..." After hesitating, Lin Xi gave up her plan to say goodbye.
"Why is it the same as when I left my home..."
Lin Xi smiled helplessly and gave up on the main entrance. Instead, she stepped on her feet and used some strength to jump up high. She left the Su family directly from the low wall.
…
"I wonder if there is Zhendian ahead..." Lin Xi, who quietly left Nanshui Town, walked boringly on a trail. Returning to such a barren mountainous place again made him feel a little uninterested. He was in such a hurry.
He didn't think it was fun.
The boring journey lasted for about half a day. At this time, a large area that looked like a garrison suddenly appeared in front of us. Various Baotou-like tents were densely packed, covering a large area, and there were many people in them. Come and come.
It often seems very lively.
"Huh? What is this place?" Lin Xi looked at the bustling crowd in front of him with confusion, and continued to walk forward. No matter what, there are always people who feel better than being alone.
"I seem to understand a little bit..." Standing in front of a tent, Lin Xi turned her eyes to the side. There, a deep road spread out from the depths of the mountains, which should be the entrance to the Nanling Mountains.
At the end of the spreading path, an older man shouted loudly and kept recruiting a large group of people in front of him, as if he was looking for companions to enter the mountains together. Around him, there were also some
People are constantly searching. In the Nanling Mountains, the more people there are, the safer they are. Of course, these people will not take their own lives for granted before entering.
"These people should all be independent mercenaries, right?" Lin Xi glanced at the bustling crowd. This kind of mercenaries generally do not join those well-organized mercenary groups. This is not because of lack of strength. On the contrary, for
For most of these mercenaries, their own strength is much higher than that of ordinary members of the mercenary group. Perhaps they gave up the idea of joining the organization because they personally do not like restraint.
"It's quite lively..." Lin Xi pondered for a moment. She was not familiar with the place here, so it would be a lot more convenient if she could follow a team.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi's eyes were constantly searching among those shouting, as if looking for a reliable group.
Just when Lin Xi still had no choice of direction, there was a sudden commotion not far away, and Lin Xi also looked there.
A girl with good looks walked slowly towards the entrance, with a hint of arrogance on her face, and her eyes were filled with disdain as she looked around. There were several people following her, who must have come together, and some servants around her
The soldiers looked at the girl walking over with bright eyes. The sudden appearance of such a beautiful girl, how could they not make them, mercenaries who have been out all the time and don't eat sex, go crazy?
At this time, a middle-aged man next to the girl shouted loudly: "The daughter of the Golden Thunder Mercenary Group is going to the Nanling Mountains to search for rare spiritual minerals. Does anyone want to join? Twenty people are needed, with strength above the early stage of Sword Spirit. Each
Two hundred gold coins per person!”
"The Golden Thunder Mercenary Group? That's a large group with almost a thousand people. Why would they come to a place like this to hire us?"
The shouting made the originally noisy atmosphere quiet for a while. After a while of whispers, the mercenaries who thought they were strong enough immediately rushed towards the middle-aged man, not to mention the high mercenary fee.
Even with that beautiful girl, they wouldn't let such a good thing go.
Staring blankly at the crowd that suddenly became extremely lively, Lin Xi stood there and blinked. After a moment, she actually squeezed her way into the crowd desperately.
Judging from this appearance, the other party should often go to and from the Nanling Mountains, and the strength of the people who join is also good. Following such a temporary group should be a good choice for me.
However, there were too many people in front of him. Lin Xi had to burrow around for a long time before taking a few steps forward. In a hurry, he slightly used his sword to push away the people on both sides without leaving any trace, and rushed directly to the front.
"There are already nineteen people, who else is there?" The middle-aged man looked at the people standing around him and smiled at the still extremely enthusiastic crowd in front of him.
"Me!" A young man suddenly emerged from the crowd, his childish voice still containing a hint of breath.
"Huh?" Looking at the young man in front of him who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Little brother, what we need is the Sword Spirit!"
The middle-aged man emphasized the word "Sword Spirit", obviously not believing that the other party would meet the conditions.
"Where did you come from, little boy? Have your teeth grown all the way?"
"Go home quickly! Can you come to a place like this?"
Seeing that the last spot was taken by a young man, the big men around him suddenly began to curse.
"Get out of the way, don't block my way!" A bearded mercenary stepped forward and tried to push away the figure in front of him.
Lin Xi's originally clear eyes sharpened, and a surge of momentum rose from his body. He turned around and kicked, and under the astonished eyes of a group of people, he directly kicked the mercenary who came forward several meters away.
Dust was splashed all over the floor.
"Sword Spirit?" Feeling the aura emanating from the young man, the middle-aged man glanced at Lin Xi in amazement, then nodded and said with a smile: "My little brother's talent is really good. He has already reached the level of Sword Spirit at a young age."
, Okay, the last person is you, this is half of the reward, and the other half will not be given to you until the matter is over."
The girl on the side also glanced at the young man with some surprise, and then returned to her cold and arrogant attitude.
"No problem." Lin Xi said with a smile. He didn't care about the gold coins at all, he just needed someone to show him the way.
Seeing that the last spot was taken away by this kid who appeared out of nowhere, the mercenaries surrounding him could only leave angrily. However, after leaving, they would cast strange glances at each other from time to time.
The big man who was kicked away by Lin Xi glanced at the former and left unwillingly. Judging from the strength shown by the opponent just now, he should not be an opponent. The opponent's talent is quite difficult in this place.
If you encounter him, it's better not to provoke him easily, just think of it as a dumb loss.
