The grass and trees are covered with dew, and the green mist covers the morning.
When the sun rises in the east, the spiritual masters of Tiansang Ling Palace have already awakened and are breathing spiritual energy in various places, whether in the woods, pavilions, or other people's courtyards...
The branches are rustling, the magpies are chirping, it's quiet and beautiful.
On a winding path leading to a secluded place, two sneaky figures came over, one was tall and the other was short.
The tall figure was a burly man with sandbags tied to his hands. He was crouching and looking left and right with a guilty look on his face.
Beside him was a short young man who only reached his neck. He had a long sword at his waist and looked excited.
"Senior Brother Liu, why is it our turn to do such a good thing as collecting corpses? Isn't this usually handled by the elders of the outer courtyard?" Zhou Zuo, a slightly short young man, said.
"Of course it came from operation, otherwise do you think this opportunity will fall on you in vain?" Liu Zhen, a burly man, looked around and found that no one cared about the two of them. He breathed a sigh of relief, "I heard that Boss Wen is sending
I got a lot of spiritual crystals.”
"Is that so..." Zhou Zuo narrowed his eyes, rubbed his hands and lowered his voice, "Then whose body are we collecting?"
"Xu Xiaoshou!" Liu Zhen said as he walked, "I heard that he went into seclusion to break through the three realms for this 'Struggle for Hegemony'. Counting the time, today is the day. If he hasn't come out for so long, it means he is dead.
The Tao is gone."
"Three realms?" Zhou Zuo looked at him in surprise. This cultivation level is not the same as his own. "What's the benefit of the three realms? It's better to let him fend for himself!"
"You know shit!" Liu Zhen gave him a shudder, "This Xu Xiaoshou has been in the Spiritual Palace for almost three years. Nothing else. The courtyard here alone is worth thousands of Spiritual Crystals."
"Hey, are you so rich?"
"That's right! I also heard that this guy also has a ninth-grade spiritual sword with him!"
When Zhou Zuo heard this, his eyes bulged out, "Ninth-grade spiritual sword?"
This exclamation was probably heard by most of the people around him.
"Keep your voice down!" Liu Zhen saw people around him casting dissatisfied looks, and gave this guy another violent shudder. Is this kid shouting so loudly for fear that others won't hear him?
The two of them chatted without saying a word, and after going around and around, they finally saw a secluded small courtyard, shrouded in a large formation.
Liu Zhen, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped.
"It's quite far... Ouch!"
Zhou Zuo, who was walking behind, bumped into Liu Zhen's back. He rubbed his forehead in pain and complained: "Brother Liu, why did you stop suddenly..."
Because he was short, his line of sight was blocked. He walked out from one side and immediately understood why Liu Zhen stopped.
In front of the courtyard in front of us, there were more than ten people sitting cross-legged.
These people didn't talk, they just sat quietly and practiced. At first glance, they looked very harmonious.
"Why are there so many people?"
Zhou Zuo was stunned. He looked up at Liu Zhen with doubts in his eyes, "Didn't you say that Boss Wen spent a lot of spiritual crystals to get this opportunity?"
Liu Zhen was so angry that he couldn't speak. Hearing this, he slapped Zhou Zuo on the head.
"You still can't tell, these guys are all sperm!"
"Damn it, if you don't practice anywhere else and you come here specifically, the news must have been leaked!"
Zhou Zuo rubbed his head with a bitter face and thought to himself, you can't take your anger out on me.
The dozen or so people sitting cross-legged in front of the yard obviously noticed that another person had arrived, and they couldn't help but burst into laughter and joked casually:
"Hey, someone's here again. This time he's a little late. The sun has already risen in the east."
"This is Liu Zhen, who is that guy next to you? He's new here, come with him to see the world?"
"Liu Zhen, you are too careless. I came here before dawn, but there are still people here..."
"Tch, I came here last night."
"I did it the day before yesterday!"
"I was so happy the day before yesterday!"
There was a sudden chatter in front of the yard, and I didn’t know if it was bragging. Finally, a man who had been squatting for a month appeared, and everyone immediately looked at him with admiration.
Liu Zhen felt dizzy and said angrily: "What are you doing here!"
"Oh, Liu Zhen, it's tacitly understood!"
"Don't ask, just ask about the ninth-grade spiritual sword."
Zhou Zuo almost laughed out loud. Is this information known to everyone? Oh, who didn't let me tell you just now?
He glanced at Liu Zhen and swallowed his words. This guy's face was as dark as if he had eaten a firecracker, as if he was about to explode in the next second.
Liu Zhen felt like his lungs were about to explode. This was information that Boss Wen had spent a lot of spiritual crystals on. Why was it so cheap?
It is impossible for one of our own people to leak information, so all these guys can do is bribe the elders?
Just like what the man just said, it was tacitly understood...
Damn it, which elder is so wicked and betrays so many people with one piece of information!
The words couldn't be said in his heart, and he felt as uncomfortable as constipation. The two of them stopped at the intersection, and there seemed to be an embarrassing crow in the air.
The people in front of the hospital seemed to have experienced it many times and patted the floor very skillfully.
"Liu Zhen, come here and sit here."
"You're welcome, just treat it as your own yard."
"Pfft!" Zhou Zuo couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Liu Zhen knocked him to the ground with a slap, and walked over with a sullen expression. Halfway through, he looked in the direction of the yard and was startled.
I saw that the invisible barrier covering the courtyard began to fluctuate, and the next moment it cracked open, revealing the entrance to the small courtyard.
The people who were sitting cross-legged in front of the hospital also noticed this change and looked sideways. Some people looked at the sky and realized something was wrong.
"It's only Chenshi, doesn't it say that the formation won't be lifted until noon?"
"Who solved the formation? No one here understands the formation. Is it you Liu Zhen?"
Liu Zhen almost rushed forward and beat the man into the ground. He was so far away from the yard, how could he get out of the formation?
And, who are you? Do I know you very well?
Can you please stop calling me by my name so eagerly?
Liu Zhen was speechless as he was familiar with this group of people, but this was not the time to dwell on these things. He still focused on the door in front of the courtyard.
Crunch!
The door was pushed open, and a tall and thin figure was holding a black sword, leaning sleepily at the door.
"Why are you making so much noise so early in the morning? You're not letting anyone sleep anymore!"
Xu Xiaoshou was also drunk. He was struggling to practice Qigong last night, but then he thought about it. He breathed while sleeping, and breathing was training...
Just lie down!
I never thought that after killing one mosquito, there would be another one; after killing another mosquito, there would be three more!
He was disturbed by several mosquitoes and couldn't sleep. He struggled all night and finally fell asleep, but was woken up again early in the morning!
Although the courtyard has a soundproof array, it is not advanced.
The voices of these people were getting louder and louder, and the sound coming in was "buzzing", just like mosquitoes, which was unbearable.
Come out with your sword!
Xu Xiaoshou has been hanging out in the outer courtyard for three years. How could he not know what these guys are thinking? They just want to wait for him to die in seclusion, collect his body, and then take the opportunity to make some money!
Sorry, one of me fell down, and the other I stood up again.
He leaned against the door, looked around, and said jokingly: "Everyone, why are you gathering around my door, Mr. Xu, so early? I don't sell breakfast!"
Everyone was shocked when they looked at the man holding the sword and leaning against the door.
Xu Xiaoshou?
Did he break through?
You know, something like qualification is an insurmountable threshold. Xu Xiaoshou spent three years telling everyone that he was born to be destined for the three realms, so how could he make a breakthrough just because of a mere retreat?
What kind of shitty luck is this!
"Xu Xiaoshou?"
"You're not dead?"
"What happened? You... broke through the four realms?"
Xu Xiaoshou was about to speak when he suddenly saw the information column in his mind updated:
"Under suspicion, passive value, +12."
Xu Xiaoshou was overjoyed. He was worried last night that he might want to increase his passive value in the future and actively release his meaty scent to attract mosquitoes. Now it seems...
Not just attack, but also suspicion?
Is it possible that all words and actions that appear in a passive form will increase one's passive value?
Including the six mosquito attacks last night, he already has eighteen passive points.
However, I was bitten so many times last night, and each time it was only "+1". How come there was a "+12" this time?
Xu Xiaoshou was confused. He saw everyone present and counted them carefully, seventeen of them.
Could it be that, maybe, maybe twelve people here expressed doubts about their breakthrough to the Four Realms?
"Is he Xu Xiaoshou?" Zhou Zuo finally touched Liu Zhen's side and asked in a low voice.
"Under suspicion, passive value, +1."
Xu Xiaomo was very happy. His ears were very good. Among all the corpse collectors, there was still one who didn't know the corpse himself?
He walked out of the courtyard with the black sword, and these people immediately backed away.
In order to strengthen his determination to seclusion, Xu Xiaoshou spent all his spiritual crystals and bought this ninth-grade spiritual sword.
The name of the sword "Hidden Pain" means that pain is hidden deep inside. If you cannot break through, you will die with this sword.
Now that he has successfully broken through the fourth realm, coupled with this ninth-grade spiritual sword, and the Baiyun Sword Technique that he has practiced in his mind for three years... Although he has only mastered one style, he is still capable of fighting against these people.
The person with the highest cultivation level who came here is Liu Zhen, who is in the fifth realm of spiritual refining. Those bosses at higher realms will not come over to collect the corpses at a low price.
So now that this group of people saw Xu Xiaoshou coming out of seclusion, they subconsciously wanted to retreat.
Then one person raised his sword, and everyone was shocked.
"I, Xu Xiaoshou, have collected the body. Why don't your respective bosses come over in person?"
Regardless of his cultivation or qualifications, Xu Xiaoshou, who has been working in the outer courtyard for three years, is already considered an old man, even enough to be called a senior brother.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have so many assets, including a small courtyard and a spiritual sword.
Those who were more powerful than him had all entered Xiantian and headed to the inner courtyard; and some of the so-called bosses who were still lingering in the outer courtyard were still hanging around behind him back then.
So as soon as he said it, no one dared to refute him. Even Liu Zhen, who was higher than him, remained silent when he saw the aura of the black sword on his shoulder.
"Go wherever you go!" Xu Xiaoshou waved his hands as if chasing a duck.
The group of people didn't expect that Xu Xiaoshou would take the lead as soon as he came up, and his momentum was completely suppressed. They turned around and wanted to leave without daring to murmur a few words.
"Senior Brother Liu, are we leaving like this?" Zhou Zuo asked cautiously.
Liu Zhen glanced at Xu Xiaoshou. Although he was unwilling to accept it, could he still rush up to kill him and then move his body away?
Putting aside the fact that private fights are not allowed in the Spiritual Palace, whether you can fight alone is a problem.
"Let's go." He sighed and followed everyone away.
"etc!"
Xu Xiaoshou from behind suddenly shouted, as if he remembered something.
Everyone turned around, not knowing why, and saw Xu Xiaoshou stabbing his sword into the ground, scolding: "Come when you want, leave when you want, do you really think that I, Mr. Xu, have no temper at all?"
Everyone was also angry. They had wasted several hours of waiting time and got nothing. Now it was good enough to just turn around and leave. What else did they want?
"How are you doing?" Liu Zhen said with a frown. If his group really wanted to gang up on the siege, how could Xu Xiaoshou be able to withstand it? Could it be that he had shut his mind to death and wanted to fight against seventeen?
Xu Xiaoshou chuckled and said, "It's okay, don't get excited, I'll just ask a few questions."
Everyone was silent, Xu Xiaoshou said pleasantly: "I said I broke through the four realms, do you believe it?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and called everyone to stop just because of this problem? But in order to leave here, they all still pecked at the rice.
"Uh-huh."
"I believe it, I believe it!"
"Senior Brother Xu is really awesome. He has reached the fourth realm, so we can leave?"
Xu Xiaoshou was stunned, how could he have such a reaction?
Don't doubt me, please feel free to doubt me!
He screamed in his heart, how come no one supported the idea of earning passive points that he finally came up with?
Seeing everyone's eagerness to leave, he had an idea, sheathed his sword and stood up, Yun Danfeng said lightly: "To be honest with you, in fact, Mr. Xu has already broken through the fifth realm..."
"How can it be?"
"Haha, Senior Brother Xu is joking..."
Everyone spoke up one after another. Everyone is not blind. The aura of your cultivation in the fourth realm is as bright as a light bulb. What do you mean, you are in the fifth realm?
You tell lies with your eyes open and you don't even blink, but you are really your kind.
"Under suspicion, passive value, +15."
Xu Xiao was happy, so this is what happened?
He saw that he was only fifteen, which meant that there were still two people who believed in him? Is he not a fool?
"Haha, actually, I have already broken through to the sixth realm..."
Everyone:???
"Under suspicion, passive value, +17."
Good guys, these are a bunch of sharp tools for increasing passive values. What kind of corpse collector is this?
Xu Xiaoshou showed his hands: "No more pretending, I'm showing my cards. In fact, I have already reached the seventh realm..."
Everyone felt veins popping up on their foreheads. Could this Xu Xiaoshou be amusing them? Is this interesting?
"Under suspicion, passive value, +13."
Hey, why is it still so low?
Xu Xiaoshou only focused on his mind and didn't notice everyone's expressions. He immediately added: "Okay, okay, no kidding, I'm already eight..."
"Xu Xiaoshou, don't bully others too much!"
"Seniors can be killed, but not humiliated!"
"Come on, brothers!"
Xu Xiaoshou was startled, and then he came back to his senses and saw the seventeen black faces smoking in front of him. He suddenly jumped into the hospital with a sudden inspiration, the door closed with a "snap", and the formation was activated immediately.
I am obedient, just a few questions, what about that?
