A man and a woman stopped in front of an ethereal spiritual palace.
He rushed to Tiansang Ling Palace without stopping because Xu Xiaoshou also felt that it was not long before the White Cave was opened.
In this Tiansang City alchemist assessment, strictly speaking, Xu Xiaoshou failed extremely.
He only got a tenth-grade alchemist badge.
Even if he wanted to prove his strength again at the dinner party, he was suspended because of Chairman Shiti's cowardice, thus losing this opportunity.
"pity."
Xu Xiaoshou sighed lightly.
But from another level, he felt that he had indeed achieved his other goals once he made the trip.
Not only did he get the quota for the White Grotto by himself, he even learned the relevant information about the White Grotto in advance.
Even the "Tian Cardinal Disk" and Xu Xiaoji were automatically sent to his Yuan Mansion inexplicably.
Unbelievable!
"Go in, first go to Lingzang Pavilion to find Old Man Sang."
Xu Xiaoshou was exhausted, but he still didn't dare to take a rest immediately.
Mr. Sang’s words are still fresh in my memory.
He even dared not forget the instruction to return before the White Cave opened.
After all, the old man was not a good person. If something happened, it was possible that he would be treated like lard.
Mu Zixi nodded and followed Xu Xiaoshou's pace.
…
Lingzang Pavilion.
The familiar big bathtub was still there, and the miscellaneous medicine bottles on the alchemy cabinet were still scattered, but the man was nowhere to be seen.
"Not there?"
Xu Xiaoshou was slightly surprised.
Since Mr. Sang was not here, he really didn't know where to find someone.
"letter?"
Mu Zixi was wandering around boredly with dark circles under her eyes. Suddenly she saw a letter on the alchemy cabinet, and her spirit was shaken.
"Little Enlightenment."
When she saw the three words at the bottom, the little girl's face froze, and she immediately covered it with her little hands, trying to pick up the envelope.
Xu Xiaoshou was one step faster than it and snatched it away.
"I want to see it too." Mu Zixi raised her pretty face.
"I can't say it was a whisper that that damn old man told me. I'll show it to you after I've finished reading it."
Xu Xiaoshou chuckled.
He knew that Mr. Sang never did anything meaningless.
Maybe leaving this letter means that he may have left the spiritual palace temporarily.
Otherwise, if it's too big a deal, wouldn't it be enough to just say it in person?
Why even leave a message?
And that damn old man, I have to say, does have some secrets about him.
Sometimes, some secrets may not be of great benefit to those who know them, and may even have the opposite result.
Junior sister...
Well, let’s just be a fool!
"snort!"
Mu Zixi was so angry that she stamped her foot, immediately cheered up, her big eyes rolled darkly, and she began to continue looking for the letter that Mr. Sang left for her.
Xu Xiaoshou glanced at it and opened the envelope.
The words, which are as ugly as earthworms, appear abstractly.
"My master has left and I won't be back for a while. Why? It's okay not to say anything."
This is the first sentence.
Xu Xiaoshou finished reading? He immediately clicked his tongue.
It’s good to leave!
Better never come back.
As for the reason, what kind of reason does Gui Qi Qi have?
Goodbye to you.
He continued to look down.
"The White Cave has reserved a place for you? Do you remember to go? The 'Jinzhao Fire Seed' you need for cultivation can be obtained there."
Embers illuminate the fire?
Xu Xiaoshou looked startled.
Only then did he remember that before leaving Tiansang City, Mr. Sang had indeed given him two jade slips.
They are "Jizhao Tianyan·White Flame" and "Dragon Fusion Realm".
The prerequisite for practicing both is the "Jinzhao Fire Seed" which is higher than the "Jinzhao Fire Seed".
"Bai Yan, Dragon Fusion Realm..."
Xu Xiaoshou recalled the way Sang Lao trapped the masked man.
This seemed to be the first time he had seen Mr. Sang actually take action.
Thinking back now, what if the practice of "Dragon Fusion Realm" was successful? Even the realm of the throne could be directly burned.
"horrible!"
At that time, Xu Xiaoshou had never fought against the Throne and did not know the general concept, so he did not know how precious the spiritual skills in his hands were.
But now? My "cooking proficiency" and "endless life" have reached the master level.
In addition, "Jinzhao Fire Seed" may also be able to add some passive values to yourself...
Xu Xiaoshou hesitated.
Does it hurt? It does hurt a little.
But where can success be achieved overnight?
In addition, after trying the benefits of "Violent Giant", "Explosive Stance", and "Reaching the Sky in One Step".
Xu Xiaoshou wished he could awaken all his passive skills.
Now, out of the city lord's mansion? The only way I can get a lot of passive points at present is to follow the old path...
"Based?"
Xu Xiaoshou was picking his fingernails? There was some hesitation.
"It's not impossible..."
"talk later!"
Putting these down, he continued to look down.
"Take the 'Four Swords' if you can? Don't worry too much about what happens after you get out."
"It doesn't matter if you can't get it, but remember? This sword must not fall into Bai Yi's hands!"
White clothes...
Xu Xiaoshou narrowed his eyes.
Why not red?
Did I write it wrong?
Or? Sang Lao and Bai Yi have a grudge?
Or is it that he and the Holy Temple cannot deal with each other?
The letter did not mention the reason, and it was difficult for Xu Xiaoshou to guess.
But that sentence "Take it if you can" really moved Xu Xiaoshou's heart.
He has many prerequisites, coupled with a strong spiritual formation foundation, theoretically speaking, the probability of obtaining the "Four Swords" is much greater than that of others.
The reason why I didn't want to take it before was because I didn't dare.
But what Mr. Sang said...
"Is it credible?"
Xu Xiaoshou was too suspicious.
Very doubtful!
The old man walked away without saying a word.
What if you enter the White Cave, get the "Four Swords" and come out, and are directly besieged by dozens of thrones?
No matter how strong this old man is, he can't be alone. Just risk his precious life for yourself!
"Besides..."
Xu Xiaoshou let go again.
There was not much content in the letter, and he could read it all at a glance.
"There are no rules in the White Cave. Once you enter, just follow your inner guidance."
"Remember, no one in this world should believe what my teacher once told you!"
Xu Xiaoshou closed the letter.
"This old man..."
"What was he trying to say?"
"Can't you just tell the truth? Do you want me not to believe someone... him?"
Xu Xiaoshou pressed his forehead.
Brain pain!
He calmed down and recalled the contents of the letter.
“Very average.”
"There are no special instructions. Even asking me to carry the 'Four Swords', I just said yes or no, it's fine."
"Is it a ploy?" Xu Xiaoshou rubbed his chin.
"In order to prevent me from being rebellious?"
"Or should we retreat to advance?"
He said that he still couldn't figure out Mr. Sang's intentions.
Indeed, if you look at this letter alone, Mr. Sang is really a good master.
You are responsible for your adventure, and I will resist any consequences.
But is Mr. Sang such a person?
"He clearly had some special purpose in letting me enter the White Cave, just like last time he didn't say anything, but I still brought out the black falling sword scabbard."
"Although the scabbard is still in my hand, I feel that everything is still under the control of this old man."
"This time, he must have some hidden agenda!"
Xu Xiaoshou pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the reason.
Apart from "there are four swords", he really didn't expect that there would be anything that could become Sang Lao's target.
"A load of crap!"
When he finally came to a conclusion, Xu Xiaoshou was so unhappy that he wanted to burn the letter in his hand.
In terms of a battle of wits, it seems that the only one who can easily defeat him is this old man.
However, the main reason is that I have too little contact.
In Lushan...
"Hey, wait!"
Mu Zixi rushed up and snatched away the letter that was to be burned.
"what?"
Xu Xiaoshou could hide, but what he said here was really nonsense, so he didn't care.
"without me?"
Mu Zixi looked at it quickly and suddenly pouted.
"Why is Master so partial? It's okay if you don't leave a letter to me. In the letter to you, there's not even a sentence about taking good care of me?"
Xu Xiaoshou was immediately happy.
"Maybe in his mind, you are never there?"
Mu Zixi suddenly fell silent.
This sentence was supposed to be a joke, but this time it deeply touched her heart.
really.
In her sixth sense, Old Man Sang seemed to care about her and even held an apprenticeship ceremony for herself.
This is a treatment that even Xu Xiaoshou has never had.
But privately, the relationship between Xu Xiaoshou and him seemed to be more like that of a true master and disciple.
At least that kind of intimate feeling is something I can completely see but not feel.
even!
Caught between the two of them, Mu Zixi even felt a little out of place.
"It's out of place..."
"He's obviously a master and apprentice..."
Thinking of this, Mu Zixi's eyes suddenly turned red.
Since you don't like yourself, why did you accept yourself as your disciple at that time?
"Ouch, why are you crying?"
Xu Xiaoshou was shocked.
This girl is not like this usually!
Why can't I even make a joke this time?
Where is your curse?
Contribute!
"Cursed, passive value, +1, +1, +1, +1..."
Xu Xiaoshou: "..."
Sure enough, the curse will only be late and never absent.
"I'll give you a small gift."
Xu Xiaoshou helped the junior sister wipe away her tears.
"Gift?"
Mu Zixi's eyes suddenly lit up, and the gloom was swept away, "What gift?"
Xu Xiaoshou raised his hand and took out his own small bathtub.
"Haven't you always wanted this big treasure from me, senior brother? Now I'll give it to you!"
"real?"
Mu Zixi couldn't believe it.
Is this still Xu Xiaoshou?
Is this still the same Xu Xiaoshou who was so stingy that he couldn't get rid of anything?
It turns out that to deal with him, we have to use tears...
So purple!
She burst into tears and smiled: "Don't you regret it?"
"Um."
After getting the affirmative answer, Mu Zixi hugged the small bathtub over.
Only then did I remember that I seemed to only care about myself.
Xu Xiaoshou is the true successor of Jinzhao alchemy.
He seems to need this small bathtub more than himself?
"You gave me this alchemy cauldron, so what do you use it for?"
Mu Zixi's face showed reluctance and hesitation.
Xu Xiaoshou smiled heartily.
"What's the big deal? I'm just giving it to you, just take it away, you're welcome."
After that, he got up directly, walked towards the large bathtub piled in the corner, and slapped it hard.
"I use this."
Mu Zixi:???
She looked startled, "That's not what Master used..."
"He's gone!"
Xu Xiaoshou said matter-of-factly: "Everyone has left. Should the bathtub be left here to gather dust? I just help him clean it regularly."
"Remember, our disciples are all so clean-loving people."
Mu Zixi's face turned pale.
She looked at the small bathtub that was one size smaller in front of her.
It turns out that Xu Xiaoshou's sudden generosity was because of this?
With tears...
It doesn’t matter!
"Cursed, passive value, +1, +1, +1, +1..."
…
Duang~
Xu Xiaoshou smashed the big bathtub and placed it in the guest room of his funeral home.
On the open-air roof, a large amount of sunlight pours down instantly.
After leaving Lingzang Pavilion, he and his junior sister parted ways and went back to their respective homes.
At this moment, Xu Xiaoshou was staring intently at the bathtub in front of him. The more he looked at it, the more he fell in love with it.
He has been coveting this thing for a long time.
I still remember that when he first went to Lingzang Pavilion, he asked Mr. Sang about the quality of the alchemy cauldron.
The answer given by the other party was that some swords do not need to be measured by level, and the same is true for some alchemy cauldrons.
"A similar one to the Famous Sword of Swords, the Alchemy Cauldron of Cauldrons?"
Xu Xiaoshou was so happy that he wanted to light a fire and refine a Yuanting explosive for him first.
at this time.
"Whizzing!"
The sound of two pieces of clothing falling fell in the courtyard.
Xu Xiaoshou immediately put the alchemy cauldron into the Yuan Mansion on alert, and then looked at it intently.
After all, to him, the spiritual address is equivalent to that of a killer.
But when he really saw the face of the person coming, Xu Xiaoshou was surprised.
"Dean?"
"Elder Qiao?"
The visitors were Ye Xiaotian, who was floating in the void, and Elder Qiao, who was standing on the ground.
Well, the same height.
"Hip, hip, hip, hip -"
Qiao Qianzhi laughed and walked over, "Xiao Shou, I heard that you got eighteen spots in the White Cave at the City Lord's Mansion dinner?"
Xu Xiaoshou immediately bowed his head humbly.
"Where, where."
"They are all sold out and divided, leaving only two places."
Sold out…
The smile of the housewarming froze.
Ye Xiaotian's face turned dark immediately.
He immediately resurfaced the scene of Xu Xiaoshou coming out of Tianxuan Sect, in front of him, exploring the treasure of the world, and taking back the "Sealing Ring".
This inconspicuous guy, does he still think that the two of us came to him for the quota in the White Cave?
"Being cursed, passive value, +2."
"You think too much."
Ye Xiaotian said: "We didn't come to you for this."
Xu Xiaoshou was startled.
"no?"
"What's that for?"
bother you for something.
Xu Xiaoshou vaguely felt that perhaps the hidden trouble Mr. Sang had brought to him had not yet appeared, but the two people in front of him would definitely trouble him.
"I don't need a reward."
He immediately refused verbally.
Ye Xiaotian's breath was stagnant, he clenched his fist, and then released it.
"Being cursed, passive value, +2."
"No reward."
As he spoke, he pulled out a letter, "This is the letter Mr. Sang left for you. I didn't expect you to come back by such a coincidence. I just finished writing it..."
"Cough cough cough!"
"Well, take a look."
Ye Xiaotian had no expression on his face, remained calm, and handed it over calmly.
Xu Xiaoshou looked suspicious.
letter?
Didn’t I just read an email from Lingzang Pavilion?
Is it possible that it is still fake?
Or...
He took the envelope.
"Open now?"
"Um."
Ye Xiaotian's eyes showed no trace of expectation.
Looking up at the sky while moving into a new house.
Xu Xiaoshou tore open the envelope and unfolded the letter paper.
"Take it easy?"
He raised his head and looked at the two of them: "What do you mean?"
Ye Xiaotian said indifferently: "I don't know what it means. After all, I haven't seen it before."
"Take it easy? Does it say 'take it easy'?"
"That might be something like 'Don't be too outrageous', 'Be careful with your actions', 'Be careful in everything'..."
"Ahem."
The housewarming coughed again.
Ye Xiaotian's expression froze, he turned around, put his hands behind his hands, and continued: "Something like that."
"You... think about it for yourself. After all, this is the letter that Old Man Sang left for you, which means that he values you very much. Maybe you can understand something."
Xu Xiao was slapped and his mouth was closed.
These two goods are too...
Are they too busy to do anything?
As for using such despicable means to forge?
If you have something to say, why don't you just say it directly, and insinuate it covertly or covertly? Do you really think that I, Xu Xiaoshou, don't know what you really think?
You know, Tianxuanmen was just an accident!
"I understand."
Xu Xiaoshou nodded in confusion, "So..."
He didn't understand why the two people who wrote the letter still didn't leave.
"Ahem."
Touching the throat when moving to a new house.
Ye Xiaotian just paused and said:
"By the way, I have a task assigned to you."
"You should have reserved a spot in the White Cave for yourself, so I took the initiative and gave the spot that originally belonged to you to Tan Ji."
"As compensation, now that you are back, you can become the second leader of the two teams from Tiansang Ling Palace to the White Cave."
"When you go to the White Cave, just ask Tan Ji for command rights."
"Everything in Baigu is at your disposal."
Ye Xiaotian didn't give anyone any room to interrupt. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately pursed his lips and shut them.
Xu Xiaoshou:???
Listen to me in everything?
So reassured?
So who was this series of insinuations for?
Ye Xiaotian looked at him and said firmly: "Of course, as a team leader, you have to bear the responsibilities that come with it. At least if there is an accident, you have to pay attention to saving the lives of the team members."
I have to say, what the dean said was so beautiful.
Even Xu Xiaoshou, subconsciously, couldn't immediately realize that this was a tactic to bind responsibilities, and he foolishly thought that being a team leader would be a good job.
But based on the principle that doing more is worse than doing less, Xu Xiaoshou, who is lazy by nature, still refused.
"That's it."
"There should be thirty-three people in the Spirit Palace fighting against the White Cave?"
"What qualifications do I have to be the team leader..."
Ye Xiaotian sneered and interrupted him: "Am I discussing with you? This is an order!"
"Forehead."
Xu Xiaoshou was momentarily shocked by the dean's domineering attitude.
After the white-haired Taoist boy finished speaking, he walked away without even looking back.
"So emotional?"
"I haven't noticed it before..."
"Why has the dean changed?"
Xu Xiaoshou looked at the housewarming with a confused look on his face.
"So, Elder Qiao is here to make a fool of himself?"
He has a good relationship with Qiao Qianzhi, so when there are no outsiders around, there are not so many rules.
Qiuzhi rolled his eyes.
"You're not a fair-faced person, but if the dean can give you the position of team leader, it's because he values you, so you can take over."
"Be careful, you're going into the White Cave, don't mess around."
"Follow Rao Yinyin. She is the leader of the first team. If you don't understand anything, just ask her."
"Then, pay attention to Tan Ji, this guy..."
Xu Xiaoshou's scalp immediately became numb.
Elder Qiao is good at everything, but if he uses his mouth, most of the people in the outer courtyard will have a headache.
He absolutely can't stand it.
He immediately interrupted: "Elder Qiao, I have something I just wanted to ask you about."
"What's the matter?"
The focus of the housewarming was immediately diverted.
"that is……"
Xu Xiaoshou hesitated for a moment, thinking that Yuan Mansion still got it from Elder Qiao, so he didn't show up immediately.
He immediately disappeared, and when he appeared the next second, there was an iron ball glowing with two red lights in his hand.
"Mom..."
This sound came out.
Under the influence of moving, he subconsciously took half a step back, and his face instantly became serious.
"As expected, we know each other!"
Xu Xiaoshou has something to play with.
He had never noticed these small details before.
After truly realizing that Ajie is not a simple person, the micro-movements he took when moving to a new house were simply too shocking.
"What's your problem?"
When Xu Xiaoshou moved to his new house, he didn't say anything, so he immediately asked.
"Tianjishu?"
Xu Xiaoshou did not sell the truth, but got straight to the point.
He knew that if he didn't expose something, Elder Qiao might be more devious.
Sure enough, when Qiaozhi heard these three words, his expression became strange.
"How do you know the 'Tianji Technique'?"
Obviously, this guy didn't know anything about the spiritual formation before he left the spiritual palace.
Even how to activate the Yuanfu Spiritual Array, you need to be taught step by step by yourself.
I haven't seen you for half a month. Do you have words like "Tian Ji Shu"?
"Elder Qiao, don't worry about how I know."
"Anyway, since Ajie is in my hands, I definitely want to know some of its story. It doesn't seem to be a good idea for you to hide it from me, right?"
Silence during the move.
He didn't understand how far Xu Xiaoshou had reached.
But from the look of this guy, he seems to know a lot?
How long did it take for Mingming to come out of Tianxuan Sect...
"Is Xu Xiaoshou growing up so fast?" He was shocked by the move.
"Are you close to it?" he asked.
"Yeah." Xu Xiaoshou nodded.
"Ajie..."
I hesitated to move to a new house.
Indeed, the reason why I suggested Ye Xiaotian not to take back A Jie was because he saw that A Jie was actually close to humans.
However, the development of the relationship between the two is too fast, right?
Currently, I don't feel the slightest fighting spirit from Ajie?
Is this guy tamed?
impossible!
"well."
After all, he sighed and said, "Ajie, he is a secret puppet from the Holy Temple."
"Holy Temple?"
Xu Xiaoshou felt a shiver in his heart. This coincided with his thoughts.
He suddenly thought of someone.
"Tao Qiongtian?"
Qiao Qianzhi's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he covered his mouth.
"Shut up!"
Xu Xiaoshou:???
what's the situation?
Qiu Qianzhi looked around nervously, squinted his eyes and pinched the magic formula. After confirming that nothing was different around him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you looking for death? Is this a taboo name for a semi-saint that you can call directly?" he scolded.
Half Saint...
Xu Xiaoshou suddenly felt calm.
It turns out that the legendary current master of the Holy Temple is the kind of semi-saint who has transcended Taixu and touched the power of the Holy Way?
He knew that the person with the highest level of cultivation in this world was called the "Holy Emperor".
However, the "Holy Emperor", an almost miraculous existence, has disappeared from the world for who knows how many years.
Half-Saint is the only person who is close to this realm.
However, for most people.
Taixu is already the strongest fighting force in the human world.
Even the legendary "Seven Swordsmen" are in this realm.
It seems that there is no possibility of transcendence.
As for the semi-saint...
As for Dao Qiongtian...
According to rumors from the outside world, a state of cultivation that is impossible to reach, an existence that cannot even be directly addressed by name, was actually mentioned directly from Qiao Qianzhi's mouth in a panicked manner.
Xu Xiaoshou knew that Elder Qiao definitely knew something.
How could he be so sure that he was a semi-saint when everyone in the mainland was still confused about the status of the current master of the Holy Temple?
Qiao Qianzhi looked at Xu Xiaoshou with twinkling eyes and knew that with how cunning this guy was, he must have guessed something.
He didn't want to be secretive anymore, so he simply opened up and exploded into something bigger.
"You are right."
"Ajie is indeed the work of the Taoist Palace Master, but it is a defective product!"
