Chapter 154 Huo Xiuxiu has something to ask for? The bloody disaster is still there
After a long time, the whirlpool disappeared and the water surface returned to calm.
This time it was completely peaceful, and the nine gushing springs before had disappeared.
Before the three of them could react, Jiang Sheng swam ashore.
"Brother, have you made consecutive breakthroughs?"
After Wu Kaitian came to his senses, he asked Jiang Sheng uncertainly.
Wu Kaitian and Yan Pojun looked at Jiang Sheng eagerly, waiting for a response.
"Yes! Breaking through two levels in a row."
Jiang Sheng laughed excitedly, first breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refining by absorbing the spiritual power in the formation, then refining and swallowing the evil energy, and then breaking through to the eighth level of Qi Refining.
It was a huge harvest tonight!
"Oh my God! You can actually break through continuously."
Wu Kaishan looked at Jiang Sheng excitedly: "Then what level of cultivation is the elder brother now?"
Jiang Sheng hesitated for a moment and said uncertainly: "The skills I practice do not belong to martial arts, and I am not sure what level of cultivation I have now? Anyway, if I fight Jin Zai'an now, I can stab him to death with one finger!"
"
"Do you two brothers want to compete with me and verify my specific cultivation level?"
"never mind!"
The Wu brothers shook their heads at the same time.
When Jiang Sheng was at his peak as a master, he could defeat a strong master. Now that he has broken through two levels in a row, I'm afraid they are no longer Jiang Sheng's opponents, and naturally they don't want to be abused.
"Sir, what happened?"
Yan Pojun asked curiously: "Why did you stay underwater for so long?"
"Why does the water in this pool contain so much spiritual power? If we practice here often in the future, wouldn't it mean that our cultivation can continue to improve?"
The Wu brothers stared at Jiang Sheng excitedly.
"Don't think beauty is okay!"
Jiang Sheng shook his head and explained: "There was a Nine Palaces Spirit Gathering and Demon Sealing Formation before here, which is a sealing formation that can condense the spiritual power of the surrounding world."
"And there's a water ghost sealed underneath."
Jiang Sheng didn't know how to explain it, so he could only describe the evil energy as a water ghost.
"I remembered!"
Hearing this, Yan Pojun introduced: "It is rumored that a long time ago, there was a black dragon here that could eat people. It often dragged people into the water and ate them. Later, an immortal took action and destroyed the black dragon, and the people restored peace. This
This is also the origin of the name Black Dragon Pool."
"What a black dragon? It is a condensed evil spirit that attacks those who enter the water!"
Jiang Sheng laughed secretly in his heart and continued: "We absorbed spiritual power in the formation eye to practice, destroyed the function of the formation, and released the sealed water ghost. As a result, I was dragged into the bottom of the water by it and almost died."
"Although it is slightly different from the legend, it is similar. The water ghost will also kill the people in the water, and then someone will arrange a formation to seal it."
"Hiss tear!"
Hearing this, the Wu brothers and Yan Pojun took a deep breath. They didn't expect that Jiang Sheng was actually in danger.
"Don't worry, I've already taken care of that damn thing."
Jiang Sheng smiled and continued: "At the same time, the formation here has also been destroyed. It will no longer be able to gather spiritual energy in the future, and it is no longer useful to us."
"I see. Fortunately, my elder brother has great powers, otherwise..."
The Wu brothers breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, if something happened to Jiang Sheng, they would have to die to apologize.
"So, those nine springs disappeared because the formation was broken!"
Yan Pojun looked at the calm water with a strange expression: "The reason why Black Dragon Pond is famous far and wide is because of the nine springs and the legends passed down."
"Now that the spring has disappeared, it has become an ordinary pool. The number of tourists will inevitably decrease significantly in the future!"
"This has nothing to do with us!"
Jiang Sheng touched his nose, turned around and walked out: "Go back and take a hot bath, and then have a good sleep."
The next morning, Jiang Sheng, who was still awake, was woken up by a phone call.
"Who?"
Jiang Sheng took a deep breath and answered the phone in a daze.
"I am Huo Xiuxiu!"
"Ms. Huo, why did you remember to call me?"
Jiang Sheng opened his eyes and looked at the caller ID suspiciously.
"I've arrived downstairs. My grandpa wants to see you. Is that convenient?"
"Mr. Huo?"
Jiang Sheng was stunned for a moment and quickly responded: "It's convenient. I'll go visit his old man later."
Mr. Huo is Ji Mingyue's elder and treats him and Ji Mingyue well. It is indeed rude that he did not visit Mr. Huo when he went to Wucheng.
"I'm downstairs in the hotel where you're staying. Come down as soon as you've finished packing!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Huo Xiuxiu hung up the phone.
"As expected of one of the three major families in Wucheng, he actually knows my whereabouts very well."
Jiang Sheng stretched and then got up to wash up.
ten minutes later!
Jiang Sheng came downstairs and when he went out, he saw Huo Xiuxiu in professional attire standing next to a black Mercedes-Benz. It looked like she had been waiting for a long time.
"This girl is indeed the head of the Huo family, she's very impressive!" Jiang Sheng looked at Huo Xiuxiu with great interest.
When we met for the first time, Huo Xiuxiu was wearing a cheongsam, full of classical charm.
But now she looks like a strong woman, with a compelling momentum.
"It's already ten o'clock, you can really sleep."
Huo Xiuxiu rolled her eyes at Jiang Sheng and opened the passenger door: "Get in the car, my grandpa is waiting for you!"
"Thank you, Miss Huo, for coming to pick me up personally."
Jiang Sheng smiled and got into the back seat instead of getting into the passenger seat.
Huo Xiuxiu was a little unhappy when she saw that Jiang Sheng didn't give him face when she opened the door in person.
"Miss Huo, don't get me wrong!"
Jiang Sheng stuck his head out and said with a smile: "Among the members of the opposite sex, I only sit in the passenger seat of Mingyue. Please forgive me."
"Ha! How can you pretend to be loyal in front of me!"
Huo Xiuxiu curled her lips in disdain, closed the car door forcefully, and then drove to Mr. Huo's residence.
Since he didn't wake up naturally, Jiang Sheng started to take a nap after getting in the car.
"This guy can really pretend!"
Originally, Huo Xiuxiu wanted to ask Jiang Sheng about the jade pendant, but seeing that the other party ignored her, she was too lazy to take the initiative.
When Jiang Sheng and Huo Xiuxiu came to the villa where Mr. Huo lived, Mr. Huo and Mr. Lu were playing chess in the yard.
"Little friend Jiang Sheng, you have become a big celebrity in Wucheng in the past two days!"
Seeing Jiang Sheng coming, Mr. Huo put down his chess pieces and greeted warmly: "Come on, come on, this is my old friend, you can just call him Mr. Lu."
"Jiang Sheng, my dear boy, I have paid my respects to Mr. Huo and met Mr. Lu."
Jiang Sheng politely handed over his hand.
"Young man, not only did you defeat Jin Zai'an in the ring, but you also escaped from the Jin family unscathed."
Mr. Lu looked at Jiang Sheng with interest: "As expected of Miss Ji, he is really young and promising!"
"Lu Laomiu praised it."
Jiang Sheng smiled and said modestly: "It's not that I have the ability, but that Jin Zai'an and the Jin family are too weak!"
"Just blow it!"
Hearing this, Huo Xiuxiu rolled her eyes: "The Jin family can be ranked among the three major families in Wucheng like my Huo family. There is no doubt about its strength."
"If you hadn't relied on Miss Ji's reputation, people wouldn't have let you go!"
Mr. Lu frowned slightly, feeling that Jiang Sheng was a little arrogant.
"I……"
"Xiuxiu, don't be rude!"
Mr. Huo reprimanded him dissatisfied: "Don't say you have anything to ask of Jiang Sheng today. Even if he is an ordinary guest, you can't speak rudely to him."
"Can I ask for help?"
Jiang Sheng was stunned for a moment and looked at Huo Xiuxiu in confusion: "Is there anything Miss Huo needs my help with?"
Huo Xiuxiu's face turned slightly red and she hesitated several times.
She didn't have a good impression of Jiang Sheng and didn't trust Jiang Sheng, so she couldn't help but beg him.
"Here's the thing!"
Huo Lao glanced at Huo Xiuxiu and said proactively: "Didn't you give my granddaughter a jade pendant before?"
"Remember, that is an amulet I made. It can help Miss Huo withstand a bloody disaster."
Jiang Sheng nodded, squinted his eyes, and looked at Huo Xiuxiu's face carefully: "The bloody disaster on Miss Huo's body is still there, which means that my amulet has not yet taken effect..."
Huo Lao's face changed slightly, interrupted Jiang Sheng's words, and asked nervously: "Jiang Sheng, are you sure that the bloody disaster on Xiuxiu's body is still there?"
