Three days later, in the early morning, on Yushui Mountain in the north of the city, two extremely fast shadows were rushing down from Yushui Mountain.
"Whoosh~"
As fast as lightning!
When they reached the foot of the mountain, the two shadows gradually slowed down. A closer look revealed that the two shadows turned out to be a man and a dog. The man was dressed in white, with a delicate long sword behind him. He looked handsome, and although he was not burly, he was
Very upright. But the dog was much worse. There was not much meat on the body, and it was even worse than the local dogs on the street. It was as if it hadn't eaten for months.
"Huh~"
The man and the dog were naturally Xia Yan and the native dog Phantom Wolf. Xia Yan stopped, took a long breath out of his chest, his eyes gleamed, his palms slowly stretched forward, and a burst of energy came out from his palms.
An air ball formed in the air and rushed out. There was still a trace of water droplets on Xia Yan's hair.
After listening to what the old man of the Holy Emperor said three days ago, Xia Yan had a direction again. Although his strength could not be greatly improved in a short period of time, he still knew a direction.
As long as you use medicine to accelerate the increase of spirit-gathering points, the speed of converting internal energy into spiritual energy will also be accelerated.
Now, the key issue is to find the twenty or thirty required medicinal materials and then prepare them.
It was difficult to find all these medicinal materials in a short time. The next day, Xia Yan went to the auction house and found Mo Kai, the manager of the drug store, but Mo Kai was not sure that he could find all these medicinal materials. Moreover, even
Some of the more precious medicinal materials he was sure to find would take a week to be transported from Ziye City to Yushui City.
"Tugou, look at this mountain, this city, and this sky, how beautiful it is!" Xia Yan took a deep breath and adjusted his breath, then looked at the scenery in the distance, then turned to look at the tugo next to him and sighed.
The native dog's green eyes looked at Xia Yan, as if he didn't understand. He whined twice and waggled his tail back and forth.
Suddenly, a hare appeared in the sight of one person and one wolf.
The native dog groaned, and rushed out like an arrow from its bow. It rushed toward the hare with all four hooves. The hare seemed to be so frightened that it even forgot to run away for a moment. When it reacted and wanted to run away,
, the big mouth of the native dog has gently bit its slender throat!
"Click~"
The native dog exerted a little force, and the hare's fragile neck was broken.
Xia Yan frowned, his white clothes fluttered slightly, and then he said with a smile: "I haven't had breakfast yet, so let's roast the hare!"
"Hey, put the rabbit down and go find some firewood!" Xia Yan ordered the native dog.
The native dog's eyes lit up, he put the hare down, jumped up happily, plopped his hooves on the ground, and then rushed towards the mountain forest.
Near here, there is a clear river.
The hare was skinned and cleaned, and the native dog also picked up many dry branches.
A line of green smoke curled up from the side of the stream. After a while, an intoxicating aroma of meat spread to all directions. The native dog squatted next to it, its eyes were shining and its front paws kept scratching the ground.
The dust was loose, the furry ears stood up, and the green eyes looked motionlessly at the rabbit meat on the fire.
"After this, I won't have time to roast meat for you." Xia Yan shook his head and looked at the native dog helplessly.
In the past three days, the local dog seems to be addicted to eating.
"Woo~"
He called out twice reluctantly.
"Brother Xia Yan..."
"Brother Xia Yan..."
Just as Xia Yan was dealing with a roasted rabbit leg, two shouts came from far away from the official road of Yushui City.
"Huh? Is it someone from the family who is looking for me?" Xia Yan paused for a moment, stood up, and threw the remaining rabbit legs to the native dog.
The native dog jumped up, caught the rabbit's leg, and rolled on the ground excitedly.
Xia Yan stepped out, his figure flashed, and soon he was out of the woods. Sure enough, he saw two Xia family disciples wearing Xia family clothes coming towards them.
"Quick, brother Xia Yan is there." A Xia family member with sharp eyes saw Xia Yan and said to another person excitedly.
The two of them rushed towards Xia Yan in excitement.
"Brother Xia Yan!" When they got close, they both saluted respectfully.
Xia Yan nodded and asked, "You are here. Could it be that the clan leader is looking for me?"
Only if the clan leader is looking for him will the family members look for him everywhere.
"Yes, Brother Xia Yan, the clan leader and the elders want you to go back." A Xia family disciple said in an excited tone, looking a little nervous.
It was also the first time for him to talk to Xia Yan.
"Oh? The patriarch asked me to go back, what's the matter?" Xia Yan couldn't help but wonder.
"This... we don't know, but today all the elders have returned to the family, and it seems that an elders' meeting is going to be held." The younger member of the clan said honestly.
"Presbyterian Council? Well, I understand, thank you!" Xia Yan frowned, nodded, then smiled at the two of them and said.
"Brother Xia Yan..." The two people's eyes flashed and they looked at each other, but they seemed to hesitate to speak.
"Is there anything else?" Xia Yan asked with his eyebrows moving.
"Then... we want... we want to ask you for martial arts lessons!" After hesitating, a Xia family member finally gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.
Xia Yan couldn't help but smile and said: "I may not have time now, I have to go back to see the clan leader. In this way, you can come to my courtyard in the afternoon."
The time left to stay in Yushui City is only half a month. It would be good to use this time to improve the strength of the family's children. Besides, now my own strength has reached a bottleneck, and there is not much progress in the integration of martial arts.
, the transformation of internal force is just a thread. Even if it takes more time, it will not have a big effect.
"Thank you, Brother Xia Yan!"
When the two heard this, they were immediately overjoyed and exclaimed.
"It doesn't have to be like this. You are all descendants of my Xia family, and the Xia family will rely on you in the future. Okay, I'll go back first and see if the patriarch has anything to do with me." After saying that, Xia Yan's feet swayed slightly, and his body instantly ran away.
Out ten meters away.
The two children of the Xia family only felt the figure in front of them flicker, and then Xia Yan disappeared. When they saw Xia Yan again, Xia Yan had already run a hundred meters away.
At this time, another shadow emerged from the woods and chased after Brother Xia Yan.
"That's Brother Xia Yan's native dog!"
A Xia family member said in shock.
These two people really couldn't understand that a local dog could have such speed.
"Let's go back too. Brother Xia Yan promised to teach us martial arts in the afternoon. Haha, now we can become stronger. That's great." One of the disciples laughed with an excited expression.
Ever since the news spread that Xia Yan had pointed out a descendant of a collateral lineage, many children of the Xia family have been eager to get Xia Yan's advice. However, many people did not dare to look for Xia Yan directly. After all, there is a huge disparity in status.
Too many. Just like these two Xia family children, it was because the clan leader came to Xia Yan, and then they asked Xia Yan to give them advice.
Just like ordinary Xia family children, they definitely cannot go to the clan leader to make requests! Status, especially in a big family, is particularly prominent. There is nothing that can be done about it. Otherwise, it would be unrealistic for everyone to be the same.
It is impossible for an ordinary disciple to have a maid at his command, which is also a symbol of status.
"Chief, what are you asking me to do back now? Even if it's to hold an elders' meeting, it has nothing to do with me!" On the way, this thought was still running through Xia Yan's mind.
While drinking tea, Xia Yan entered the north gate of Yushui City.
The Xia Family is located in the North District, so as soon as you enter the city, you are almost at the Xia Family Mansion.
"Master Xia Yan!"
Outside the door, the guard saw Xia Yan saluting!
"Two brothers, thank you for your hard work!" Xia Yan nodded and smiled.
The front yard, the conference hall, the door is open.
Outside the door, four Xia family guards stood upright. These four people were considered Xia Yan's elders and were not weak in strength. They were probably all practitioners who had access to seventy or eighty martial arts meridians.
"Four uncles, the patriarch asked me to come..."
Before Xia Yan could finish his words, the four of them bowed and solemnly said to Xia Yan: "Master Xia Yan, please come in. The clan leader and elders have been waiting for you for a long time."
Hearing this, Xia Yan couldn't help but be stunned again.
"Tugou, wait outside!" After regaining consciousness, Xia Yan turned around and said to Tugou.
The native dog whined low and lay down on the spot, turning his eyes and sticking out his tongue to look around.
If this native dog is different from ordinary native dogs, it is its pair of green eyes. When this native dog stares at people with its eyes, it is indeed a bit scary. Ordinary practitioners can be stared at.
It's so creepy.
"Stomp~"
Stepping into the conference hall, there was a soft sound.
"I've met the clan leader, I've met all the elders!"
Xia Yan said respectfully after entering the conference hall.
This time, it was the second time that Xia Yan entered the Xia family conference hall. When he first entered the conference hall, it was completely different from now. At that time, Xia Yan was still a forgotten waste and had not opened up a single martial arts meridian.
Waste. At that time, the clan leader and the elders never imagined that Xia Yan would become the hope of the Xia family, right?
Even the third elder who had the best relationship with Xia Yan never imagined that Xia Yan would see such a day.
In fact, it’s no wonder that the clan leader and these elders, who would pay too much attention to the children who have no hope? This is the same throughout the continent.
Entering the conference hall again, Xia Yan's state of mind was different, and the state of mind of the clan leader Xia Feilong and the elders were also completely different.
"Haha, Xia Yan, please sit down too!" Xia Feilong smiled and pointed to a chair on the long table and said to Xia Yan.
Xia Yan was stunned and sat down?
Only the clan leader and elders are eligible to participate in this council of elders. Even the elders protecting the pavilion are not eligible to participate. And now, the clan leader allows him to sit here?
In this case……
Many thoughts suddenly emerged in Xia Yan's mind.
"Xia Yan, there is a very important matter that needs to be passed by the elders today, and your presence is needed. Come and sit down, too." The great elder Xia Lai also waved to Xia Yan and said.
In the past, the great elder Xia Lai scorned Xia Yan. In addition, Xia Yan's father disabled the arm of the great elder's son Xia Guqiu. It is no wonder that he treated Xia Yan with false words. But now, the situation is completely different.
Xia Lai, of course, hopes that the Xia family will be strong. He now hopes that Xia Yan can become stronger and stronger and become a spiritual master as soon as possible. In this regard, he has the same wish as everyone else!
