At this time, by the Jing Lake at the bottom of the valley, Xiao Yu did not choke on the water and cough like last time. She did not feel suffocated at all. Instead, she felt a different kind of comfort at the bottom of the lake.
"Master, hiccup... I'm out."
After seeing Jixing, Xiao Yu bowed politely, but she burped because she was too full. When she looked up, she found that Jixing's face was a little gloomy. But she didn't take it seriously and turned around.
To the old tree on the side.
"I heard that you hurt your consciousness when you went out this time. Why, don't you recognize your grandpa?"
Laoshu said seriously, smiling happily, looking forward to Xiao Yu's answer.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Xing glared at him fiercely.
"Over the years, you have come to my place every now and then to have food, tea and fruit. Do you recognize your parents?"
Ji Xing faced the old tree and raised his eyebrows as he asked.
"Hey? I was just joking with the girl, why did I take it seriously! Besides, I come here every three days just to accompany you, you heartless person!"
The old tree looked like a naughty boy, with a hint of grievance.
Xiao Yu carefully observed the old man in front of him, because this old man was one of the only acquaintances Xiaoliu had in the past ten years.
This is a person whose cultivation level is comparable to that of his master!
This man's hair is completely white, tied up in a messy bun, and pinned up with a green tree branch. The old man has a ruddy complexion, a beard, bright eyes, a tall and thin figure, and he should have been a very handsome man when he was young.
youth.
Seeing Xiao Yu sizing him up, Lao Shu smoothed his beard and began to look curious, and he also began sizing her up.
Only when Lao Shu treated him in his own way did Xiao Yu realize that he had just been rude.
"Meet Uncle Shu."
So, Xiao Yu bowed respectfully to the old tree, just like Xiaoliu before, as well-behaved and cute as ever.
"I also want to meet Uncle Shu!"
In the distance, before Hu Taoer arrived, the flattering little voice had already arrived. She was seen holding a few plump rabbits in her hands, trotting all the way to everyone's eyes.
"Hahahaha! Tao girl is here too! Oh, I haven't seen you improve your cultivation for a few days! It seems that we have rabbits to eat again tonight. Ever since I met little Tao'er, I always have rabbits to eat, unlike him, who always eats rabbits every time he comes here
Just give me some tea, you'll always make me hungry!"
Seeing Hu Tao'er coming, the old tree suddenly beamed and was extremely happy. At first glance, they looked like a pair of grandfather and grandson, and the two got along very well.
"Of course! My sister came out of seclusion today and was so hungry that she almost roasted me. Fortunately, I was smart and showed her a clear path..."
Hu Tao'er was talking happily, and her hand unconsciously pointed towards the cliff to the north. When he pointed like this, he realized that Ji Xing's face was already livid at this time.
She was so frightened that she hurriedly hid behind the old tree, carried the rabbit, poked the old tree with her elbow, and whispered in his ear, for fear that she would be roasted by the pole star next moment.
"Hey, hey, don't be so angry. You are not young anymore. When will you be as calm as me? You look fierce all day long. No wonder no one is willing to be your Taoist companion!"
Lao Shu comforted Hu Tao'er while complaining to Ji Xing.
Seeing the old tree's preaching and unruly look, Jixing was not angry at all. Instead, his eyes squinted and a bad smile appeared on his lips.
"Really? Since you said that, I really want to ask you for advice today. I remember that you were also very charming when you were young, attracting countless female cultivators to become your Taoist companions. I also remember that one of them was called Fairy Fairy...
…”
Ji Xing said, holding his forehead with his slender and clean hands, making a look like he couldn't remember.
"What's it called? What's red..."
But these words made the old tree even more proud. He looked at the sky, his eyes became blurred, as if he was recalling countless past events, and he seemed to be thinking of something. He shook his head and stroked his beard, while not forgetting to lower his head to smooth Fox Taoer's hair from time to time.
"Those are all old things. I think back then, old man, I was also the proud son of heaven, arrogant among all the heroes, and made countless female fairies..." Before the old tree could finish his words, he saw a purple-black rainbow light streaking across the horizon, rising from the sky.
The man above the valley swooped down, circled around Xiao Yu, and then bumped into the face of the old tree!
With this collision, the old tree flew ten feet away, stumbling and rolling to the side of a tree half a man tall, shaking the grainworms that were resting there all over the sky.
The old tree leader climbed up from the grass. There was a big bump on the left side of his face. It hurt so much that he covered it with his hands, and there were a few bunches of fox peach's red hair between his fingers.
Hu Tao'er suddenly felt a pain in her ear. When she touched it with her hand, she found that a small piece of it was accidentally bald!
However, before she could call out, the purple-black rainbow light circled in the air several times. It had no intention of landing. Instead, it circled around Xiao Yu again and then rushed towards the old tree again.
!
The speed of this light was so fast that the old tree did not allow the old tree to react and hit him on the other side of the face, knocking him into the bush again.
This time the sound is crisper than last time!
Xiao Yu looked warily at the purple-black light in the distance, expecting to catch a glimpse of this person, but instead of landing, the person turned a corner and flew towards Xiao Yu several times faster.
In front of Xiao Yu, the purple black person turned into a person, and the face of a middle-aged woman appeared in front of Xiao Yu's eyes in an instant, just a punch away.
What follows is a strong medicinal aroma, like the concentrated juice of fragrant grass.
The middle-aged woman's eyes were very sharp, a pair of narrow phoenix eyes. There were some fine lines left by the years on her snow-white skin, but her hair was all white, and her lips were a little purple.
This person was called Ying Gu by Xiao Liu.
Yinggu stared at Xiao Yu for a long time before showing a loving smile. The sudden change scared Xiao Yu to the point where a thin layer of sweat broke out on his back.
"I haven't seen you for half a year. My girl's cultivation has improved a lot. Come on, I'll give you a pill I've recently researched! Ah..." Her voice was so pleasant that Xiao Yu unconsciously opened his mouth in response to that sound.
, a pill was put into his mouth.
The moment it touches the tongue, it turns into a stream of rich and sweet liquid, which instantly slides into the throat and begins to nourish the internal organs.
The effects brought by the elixir also followed. Xiao Yu felt that something was coming in and out as he breathed in and out. What he breathed in was the pure spiritual power around him, and what he spit out was the impurities deposited in the body. The spiritual power in his body seemed to change.
It became purer, and even my breathing became much clearer.
"How about it? My Thousand Insect Pill is pretty good, isn't it? It's made from the insect essence of a thousand species of spiritual insects and refined using a secret method. It took me a lot of effort, but I only got twenty pills in this batch."
Yinggu said, touching Xiao Yu's head with a doting look on her face. Xiao Yu also knew in her heart that Yinggu's love for Xiaoliu had made up for Xiaoliu's lack of maternal love in the past ten years.
"Thank you Aunt Ying. I miss you so much after not seeing you for half a year. You are more radiant than before, like a rainbow in the sky. This insect pill is really delicious, do you have any more?"
Xiao Yu imitated Xiaoliu's appearance in her memory and acted coquettishly with Yinggu. Even if Yinggu didn't look like a rainbow in the sky, she would still say a rainbow thousands of miles away!
Because every time she coaxes her like this, Yinggu will definitely respond to her requests. This Thousand Insect Pill is a good thing, eat more!
Sure enough, Yinggu liked this very much. With a smile on her face, a small bottle appeared in her hand and handed it to Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu took it and almost couldn't control her expression with joy, but she still looked at Yinggu sweetly.
Said thank you.
All this was seen by Hu Taoer on the side. She cast an envious look at Xiao Yu, curled her lips, shook her head and lamented that she did not have such a good life.
At this time, Yinggu's cheerful smile turned into a devil-like face in an instant, and she looked towards the old tree in the bush.
At this glance, Lao Shu quickly sat up, his painful expression immediately turned into a look of fawning, and rolled and crawled to Yinggu, shaking up her black and purple dress with his hands.
"Hehehehehehehe, Fengxi... Xiaoxi..."
The old tree had a silly smile on his face, and his tone was pleading. Although he was being beaten, he was more afraid of Gu Ying's anger. But Gu Ying unexpectedly showed a charming smile and slowly turned her face towards the old tree.
But this gentle smile was as deadly as a knife. The old tree, who was still smiling at first, suddenly looked horrified, as if he had been hit by thousands of knives. He was so frightened that he hugged Yinggu's thigh tightly.
"Feng Xi... I was wrong! I will never dare to do it again! Don't let me go. I have nothing but you!"
Laoshu cried till he had snot and tears, not caring that Xiao Yu and other juniors were still in front of him. Such tears and disregard for his face showed the status of Yinggu in his heart.
But even so, Yinggu ignored him and turned to look at Hu Taoer who was watching the fun.
At this time, Hu Tao'er looked surprised and opened her mouth wide. She was still shocked at the scene of Lao Shu begging for forgiveness, and did not notice the murderous look in Ying Gu's eyes at all.
Only when she met Yinggu's sharp gaze did she realize that the other party wanted to take her life now! Fox Taoer knew this look very well, it was the ferocity of someone who was protecting food.
So, she quickly stretched out her hands, shaking her head and waving her hands.
"No, no, you misunderstood. Uncle Shu is bragging himself, but it has nothing to do with me! Although I am a fox demon, I am not picky about food. I also have aesthetics!"
Hu Taoer denied it repeatedly and stepped back, because the terrifying spiritual power emanating from Yinggu almost made her breathless. This was the absolute pressure brought by the difference in cultivation level!
But these words not only did not eliminate Yinggu's anger, but instead irritated her.
"Slick little demon, who do you call ugly? No one has the right to call him ugly except me! Believe it or not, I will skin you right now!"
Yinggu stretched out her hand and grabbed Hu Tao'er violently. She caught Hu Tao'er in her hand, with such a momentum that she really wanted to peel off her skin.
Just as she was about to use her hands to give her some color, Yinggu discovered that something was wrong with Hu Tao'er.
She discovered that this fox demon, who was only at the third level of cultivation, could not reach the early stage of Yuan Cheng cultivation if replaced by a human being, but she had no less than hundreds of demon Yuan hidden in her body!
She hid these demonic essences in her belly button, and her navel was constantly absorbing the spiritual power in the empty valley and nourishing the demonic essences, but no one noticed it?
Yinggu stretched out her hand, and a wooden stick as thick as her fingers appeared in her hand, and she hit Hu Taoer hard on the lower back.
The wooden stick carried Yinggu's powerful spiritual power, and it hit Hu Tao'er, with a crackling sound that echoed around. Every time the stick went down, some demonic essence fell out.
In just a few breaths, countless demonic elements had rolled down on the ground, each one crystal clear and colorful, piled up into a hill, exuding rich spiritual power.
The huge number shocked everyone present. Except for Yinggu, no one else who had been with her for so long didn't notice it at all!
"A fox demon with a third-level cultivation actually managed to obtain a sixth-level demon essence. You are quite capable!"
Yinggu picked up the brightest red demon element and raised it above her head. She kept nodding her head to admire it, and kept uttering admiration from her mouth.
Looking at the demonic elements all over the ground, Xiao Yu finally solved the doubts in his heart.
After she successfully advanced to seclusion, when she first saw Hu Taoer, she felt that the spiritual power in her body was very messy. It was not a pure spiritual power. It was like several spiritual powers were mixed together, but she did
It's just the early stage of Yuancheng's cultivation.
Yinggu said that she had obtained the sixth level of demon essence, which was equivalent to a great demon with a cultivation level in the middle stage of Yuan Cheng. If she was able to leapfrog and hunt, Hu Taoer must have hidden some other secrets.
Moreover, there is more than one such sixth-level demon element, a rough count of seven or eight, which shows that she has leapfrogged the level more than once to hunt the same kind.
Thinking about how she acted weak and unable to take care of herself when the monks broke into Kongkong Valley, this little demon can really pretend!
When Hu Taoer saw what had happened, she quickly knelt down on the ground and protected the demonic energy that had piled up like a hill on the ground as if she were protecting her life. Tears came to her eyes as she was familiar with the road, and she started to cry as fast as she wanted.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...I am also trying to survive. I have saved these demon elements with great difficulty over the years. I look forward to returning to the gray barrier deep in the blind mountain to donate them to the great demon king! I am a weak person.
Little demon, it’s really not easy to get these. If one of them is missing, I will be skinned alive by the big demon king."
Hu Taoer cried so hard that her heart was broken, and the whole world was moved. It seemed that no one in the world was more pitiful than her. But everyone also knew that there was indeed a big demon king entrenched in the gray barrier deep in the Blind Mountain.
According to legend, the great demon king was very happy to swallow demon essence to enhance his own cultivation. Now that he is above the ninth level, a breakthrough is just around the corner.
Although everyone was dubious about Hu Taoer's words, looking at the demonic elements rolling all over the floor, they felt that they were all reasonable and did not go into further details. Even Yinggu threw the demonic elements in her hand back and turned to look at Hu Taoer.
.
"A mere six-level demon essence can't even penetrate my eyes. If it's a nine-level demon essence, I can still put my effort into making a pill for Xiaoliu to eat."
As she said that, Yinggu cast a strange look at Xiao Yu, half-smiling but not smiling, but couldn't tell what she meant. This expression made Xiao Yu start to think deeply.
Nine-level demon essence is equivalent to the cultivation level of a human monk in the late Yuancheng period. If she can really get a nine-level demon essence, then she will have a source of spiritual power for her next breakthrough.
Just as she was thinking about it, Xiao Yu suddenly felt a sense of panic! Even she herself found it hard to believe that she had just arrived in this strange world and was already subconsciously pursuing power.
However, she recalled the thirty or so monks who broke into the valley at that time. If they had not been lucky, they might not have been able to deal with them so easily, and they might even have died.
It turned out that she had already begun to want the ability to fight back at that time.
Therefore, a dangerous idea came into her mind, and she glanced at Hu Tao'er for a moment, then quickly looked away.
But all these small expressions of Xiao Yu were seen by Jixing. His heart sank and his brows furrowed slightly.
While Xiao Yu was thinking about it, Hu Taoer had already collected the demonic elements all over the floor, with a skill that was eye-popping.
Laoshu didn't know why he got up from the ground, holding the roasted rabbit in his hand, he walked to Yinggu, tore off a leg, and handed it to her.
"Feng Xi, I'll give you this big rabbit's leg. It's so delicious! I know that Tao girl likes to lie, but she is a good child and knows how to respect her elders. This is the rabbit she went to the back mountain to hunt when she knew you were coming.
!”
Laoshu had a silly smile on his face, but his expression was very sincere. He had true admiration for Yinggu. That kind of admiration lasted for so long that even he himself had forgotten how many years it had been.
Seeing his ridiculous appearance with a bruised nose and swollen face, and realizing that Hu Tao'er, a little demon, wasn't that bad at all, Gu Ying took the rabbit leg from Lao Shu and gave him a fierce look.
"What a fool!"
Yinggu cursed in a low voice towards the old tree.
Seeing that Yinggu's anger had subsided, Laoshu finally let go of his heart, and his smile became more honest and cute, but he turned his head and glared fiercely at Jixing.
How could he not see that he had been tricked by him! Jixing had known for a long time that Yinggu had arrived at the mouth of the valley, and deliberately designed him to lie so that he could take advantage of Yinggu's hand to deal with him.
What a shame!
It was rare to see Jixing smile in Xiao Liu's memory, but tonight, under the soft moonlight, before Jixing turned around, for a moment, Xiao Yu saw him smiling very proudly.
This is the busiest day in Kongkong Valley in ten years. Five people are eating roast rabbit around the fire.
Hu Taoer flattered Yinggu, trying to get a few Thousand Insect Pills. This sweet talk was overwhelming, and Xiao Yu was so impressed that she felt that she had no talk compared to the other person.
But Yinggu didn't take this trick, her eyes narrowed to a slit, and Hu Taoer didn't expect it, and she looked towards her throat.
Under Ying Gu's look of "If you don't shut up, I'll beat out the rest of your demonic energy", she shut her mouth completely and returned to her position. Her eyes trembled from side to side in horror, and she swallowed hard.
While he was enjoying himself, Ji Xing stretched out his palm, purple light flashed in his palm, and a dark purple spar appeared, and in the spar there was a nine-level demon element flashing white light.
It was the return bead that the man in black robe gave Ji Xing as compensation at that time.
The spar had been drilled with a hole by Jiexing, and a leather cord was inserted through it. He was holding it in his hand and swinging it back and forth, playing with it like a gadget.
As soon as the Huihuan Bead appeared, Hu Taoer's face showed a bright light, and her eyes unconsciously followed the light of the bead, swinging back and forth, as if she was possessed. Slowly, even her head began to swing along with it, and there was still saliva hanging from her mouth.
.
As if out of instinct, under the provocation of Ji Xing's slanted grin, Hu Tao'er jumped towards the spar, but missed, and the spar was still in Ji Xing's hand.
Jixing seemed to enjoy this matter endlessly. After all, everyone likes to tease puppies. She held the Huanhuan Bead and dangled it around seriously, making Hu Taoer jump around in front of her and make a buzzing hunting sound from time to time.
sound.
Finally, the bead drew an arc in the air and flew into the hands of the old tree. The old tree had known that it was a new thing and immediately burst into hearty laughter.
Of course, this laughter also made Hu Taoer's spirit leave Huihuan Pearl for a moment. She turned around and looked at Jixing, her mouth pursed, with a look of resentment on her face.
"Hahahahahaha, peach girl is still lively. What kind of new thing is this?"
The old tree took the Huanhuan Pearl and raised it above his head to look at it carefully. He found that it was a piece of deep amethyst stone half the size of a palm.
There is a faint pulse coming out, which is very rare.
"That person calls this thing the Huihuan Pearl. What's sealed inside is a nine-layer demon element, which was made using a secret method. After this thing is crushed, it can restore the space to what it was like a day ago. It's an interesting little object.
"
Before Ji Xing could finish speaking, Laoshu's eyes were already wide open! His eyes were bright and he was very excited. If he hadn't known that there was only one of these things, he might have been unable to control his hands and crush them.
