Liang Zhi was stunned for a moment, then accepted what Ling Xiao handed over, and said with envy: "The huge resources required by your Excellency are really eye-opening for me!"
Ling Xiao was so ungrateful that he refused to give him any reward. The effect of the spirit wine was really powerful. Liang Zhi knew the taste after eating the marrow, so he willingly continued to help Ling Xiao purchase supplies.
In fact, I wish Ling Xiao could buy it more times!
"By the way, He Shizhong of the Night Watch wants to meet with you, sir. Do you want to see him?"
"No, no time. After you buy these things, I will have to leave for a while. Please help me tell Senior Yunhuang."
"Okay, I'll take my leave."
After Liang Zhi left, Ling Xiao first put away the spirit stones, and then sorted the purchased resources into categories.
Among these resources, half are required for making talismans and half for practicing.
And the unexpected last year disrupted Ling Xiao's plan.
He originally wanted to mention his cultivation before the ascetic meeting, but with only one year left, neither he nor Ming Hu was sure of breaking through the existing bottleneck.
He simply put aside his training and devoted himself to assisting Xiao Gua to see if he could help her hit the later stage of foundation building.
In addition, the aura of the medicinal garden must be injected twice as much.
Ling Xiao glanced at the plants in the medicine garden, and a solemn look flashed in his eyes.
Hopefully, we can all catch up.
…
There is no need to praise Liang Zhi's work efficiency. In just half a month, he bought back everything Ling Xiao wanted.
"The affairs of Yutao Prefecture will be left to you."
Ling Xiao left a few jars of wine and floated away with Xiao Gua.
Go all the way west and escape into the sea.
The war had just ended. After the Jiao tribe fled inland, the demon tribes on the sea were unable to resist the advance of the Dragon Star Dynasty. At this moment, the world was determined to become the back garden of the monks again.
But because they were severely plowed by the war, the few remaining monsters were all turning into monsters with their tails between their legs. Even the most experienced hunter could not track them.
Therefore, at this stage, most hunters also go inland to make money, and few stay at sea.
This situation will probably last for ten or twenty years, and it will not be until the monsters from further seas migrate over that this sea area will become lively again.
However, for Ling Xiao, no matter whether the monsters have their tails clipped or not, he can still track their tails through the seaweed's information.
Less than 24 hours after entering the sea, Ling Xiao found a late second-order monster.
This is where the genius Xiaogua’s journey begins.
In the next few months, all that was left in her life was training and fighting. Apart from these two items, she didn't need to worry about anything else.
The opponents Ling Xiao looks for for her are all late-level second-order monsters, allowing her to constantly experience dangers and extremes in order to stimulate the bottleneck to loosen.
When she was practicing, Ling Xiao prepared everything for her, including inspecting the monsters she would challenge next, refining magic weapons, drawing talismans, ingesting spiritual energy, etc.
Xiaogua's body was full of spiritual energy, hovering at its limit all the time, far exceeding Ling Xiao's intake when he was in the middle stage of foundation building.
If she hadn't been at the peak of foundation building back then, she might have exploded to death under the majestic spiritual energy.
Even so, the extremely luxurious intake of spiritual energy also brought an extremely heavy burden.
Fortunately, Xiao Gua showed her tenacity. No matter how powerful the opponent was, no matter how huge the aura was, she accepted everything without any complaints.
Until eleven months later.
Xiao Gua's training plan came to an end, and she got the long-lost rest, so she fell asleep for seven days and nights.
[Se embryo, will she never wake up? 】
Xiaoshu asked worriedly.
Xiu Shenhua and Qianshou Yinzhen unceremoniously insulted Ling Xiao's personality.
【brute! 】
【Lingbapi! 】
Ling Xiao murmured: "She has her own persistence. All I have to do is support her at this moment."
"After entering the ascetic meeting, I can no longer help her. Then, I will completely rely on you. Please help me protect her..."
He gently stroked her scattered hair lovingly and shielded her from the howling wind.
[You don’t need to tell me, we will protect her! 】
[Hmph, I’m also curious about the place where geniuses gather! 】
[Se embryo, don’t worry and leave it to us, we are not in seclusion for free! 】
Ling Xiao smiled slightly.
Xiaoshu, Yushen, Qianshou.
The three uncles lived up to the spiritual nourishment he received over the year. They ended their retreat a few days ago and completely absorbed the essence of the wood provided by Alu Fenshen.
Even Ling Xiao didn't know exactly how strong the three of them had been at the moment, but just by looking at the looks of these three, he knew that it was something big.
Yu Shen and Qian Shou have completely broken away from the shackles of the land and can freely absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. At this moment, they are both entangled in Ling Xiao's palm, turning his palm into pink and silver, which looks quite magical.
"Could it be that you have already broken through the fifth level?"
Ling Xiao thought to himself.
With the protection of these three bosses, Xiao Gua can run rampant in the Ascetic Assembly even if he only has foundation-building skills.
[On the other hand, he doesn’t want our help. He’s such a big supporter. He won’t die in there, right? 】
[Can you say something nice? We have watched him grow up no matter what he does, so we should have some confidence in him! 】
[Yes, Brother Xiu, you are not the one who takes care of yourself! 】
Xiu Shenhua snorted and stopped talking.
Ling Xiao's face darkened.
What do you mean by watching them grow up?
It's obvious that I have been taking care of your growth, okay?
Xiaoshu said it best.
He never fights an uncertain battle, and he has made adequate preparations for this ascetic meeting.
Thinking about it from another angle, if they can't move without Xiu Shenhua, then it's okay not to go to the Ascetic Assembly.
Not just melons.
He also wants to know how different he is from the world's heroes after relying on spiritual grass all the way to where he is now!
No, no!
If you say this, I will become the one they grew up watching. This is wrong.
While I was thinking wildly, the little melon in my arms made a sound and faintly woke up.
"I seemed to have slept for a long time."
"Yes, seven days and seven nights."
"I had such a long dream..."
She stretched, and her breath suddenly became strong.
A few muffled thunders could be heard vaguely in the sea sky.
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed, he laughed, and said: "Xiaogua, you are really a genius!"
Breaking through the shackles of the bottleneck in his sleep, Xiaogua's cultivation has completely passed the late stage of foundation building, and he is not far from his previous peak.
Although he has the foundation he has laid in the past, his cultivation has soared so much in such a short period of time, which shows that Xiaogua is extremely talented.
Before Ling Xiao was happy, she kissed him.
"Didn't I disappoint you, my Lord Governor?"
She smiled narrowly, then put her pink cheeks in her mouth, pressed her forehead against his, and whispered softly: "I want to hug..."
After eleven months, she finally hugged him again.
So the long-term loneliness and hard work, longing and love burst out in a violent way at this moment.
She didn't care about anything anymore, she hugged him hard, kissed him hard, and shared everything with him in her wholehearted love.
The lonely reef has no night sky, no deep sea, no upcoming ascetic meeting, no upcoming dangers and opportunities.
There is, and only the fusion of body and mind.
Just him and her.
