Yunlun Mountains, the ninth day.
Nearly one-third of the trial in the royal city has passed. Under the great waves, the trialists have reduced from more than 30,000 people at the beginning to less than 10,000 people now.
Nine six four five!
This is the ranking number of the trialist at the bottom of the standings.
Xu Xiaoshou is still hovering above the inner fire magma.
In the past few days, he had been waiting for rabbits with the Origin Stone, and he had hunted too many testers who came to enjoy themselves but were unable to return.
The only thing I feel is a pity...
"Why aren't there any big shots coming?" Xu Xiaoshou looked at the sky in a daze.
At this time, more than two hundred trialists had been imprisoned within the spiritual array he had set up.
Or can't say "imprisonment".
After all, these people have sworn to join the Xiaoxu Gang, and are willing to pay the price of 10,000 points per person per day to understand the fire source stone.
There are few people here.
But in fact, only the fire spiritual masters remained.
Everyone else was frantically collecting points for the Dao Ze Origin Stone that appeared next.
"Master Xu, there is still no movement." Xin Gugu looked a little bored on one side.
His mission is to test the map every day and find the coordinates of the newly born Taoist Origin Stone.
But after a few days, except for this first fire source stone, no one else was destined to find other source stones with other attributes.
"That's weird." Xin muttered, feeling that this probability was a bit unrealistic.
Almost all of the nearly 10,000 trialists arrived inside the Yunlun Mountains in the past few days.
But, no one has found the Origin Stone?
Liu Changqing said with a smile on one side: "The Origin Stone of Dao is the ultimate treasure of heaven and earth. Even if Palace Master Cheng is generous and can give some as rewards, it is impossible to collect all the Origin Stones of every series. To be honest, I would rather I think it is normal for only one fire source stone to be born in a few days."
Xin Gugu obviously had a different opinion and looked back: "I think the Origin Stone is not in the inner circle, but when the Nine Dragon Vein Trial in the core area starts one day later, there may be more inside. If there is only one Origin Stone, Palace Master Cheng should not Maybe it will be treated as a reward and distributed directly to Chong Yuan."
Liu Changqing didn't object and shrugged, saying that he didn't know the inside story and it would be useless to say more.
Xu Xiaoshou listened to the two complaining and knew how boring the trial was for them.
In fact, it's the same for him.
If he did not encounter an enemy of the same status, he would be almost invincible in the Yunlun Mountains.
But the problem is that in the past few days, it seems that even Jiang Xian and other Semi-Saint successors, who are qualified to challenge the existence of his Xiao Xu Gang, have heard about the news here and have not come to fight for it.
Just as Xu Xiaoshou had expected before.
His identity as a semi-saint successor lies here.
After taking the fire source stone first, other people of the same status come over and want to snatch it by force. Not only do they have to weigh whether they are qualified, they also have to figure out whether they can accept the price of snatching the source stone.
Obviously, no one can afford this price.
After all, after the fierce battle, it is estimated that there are not many people left in both groups.
The next trial in the royal city is still two-thirds of the way through.
Xu Xiaoshou looked at the more than two hundred fire-type spiritual masters practicing cross-legged at the top of the hill.
——They are all masters!
This power cannot be underestimated.
But the key point is that the number of spiritual refiners from various departments who belong to the Xiaoxu Gang who are living outside is even greater than this!
As long as there is trouble here and support comes from all directions, I am afraid that even the ten Semi-Saint successors who bring their own large forces may not be able to match the power here.
What's more, there are no ten Semi-Saint successors in the Yunlun Mountains.
"It's a pity. I want to show off my talents, but no one is killed by me. I can only wait for another day."
"After tomorrow, if we can predict the Nine Dragon Veins, there will be more fighting!"
Xu Xiaoshou sighed with emotion.
He doesn't want to go looking for someone to kill him, it's a waste of energy.
Because at the end of the trial, people from all sides will eventually meet in Pixiu Mountain.
There is no use in thinking too much.
Xu Xiaoshou was immersed in his own passive system.
In the past few days, he had increased his passive value by robbing the trialists who were trying to steal his Origin Stone, plus the passive value he had deliberately hoarded in the previous East Heaven King City Alchemist Competition.
At this time, too many waves have accumulated.
"Passive value: 1872625."
1.8 million!
Xu Xiaoshou was a little stunned when he looked at this number.
About 150,000 to 600,000 of these were earned by the Alchemist Conference.
The rest was obtained through the efforts of those sporadic Source Stone snatchers in the past few days.
It is conceivable that the place that is really suitable for earning points is not a place where opportunities are everywhere like the Yunlun Mountains, but a place with a dense population of spiritual masters such as Dongtian King City.
Xu Xiaoshou glanced at his passive skill bar.
Among them, nearly half of the passive skills have been upgraded to the throne level last time.
But there were still a few left at the end of the queue, who had no time to upgrade because of the lack of passive value at the time.
"The method of breathing, counter-shock, change, resilience."
Just these four.
One basic passive skill and three extended passive skills.
Xu Xiaoshou now has an inventory of 1.8 million. To upgrade a throne passive skill, he only needs 100,000 passive points.
Without thinking, he directly exchanged forty third-level skill points and acted recklessly on the spot.
"Countershock (Throne Level 1)."
"Change (Throne Level 1)."
"Resilience (Throne Level 1)."
"The method of breathing (Throne Level 1)."
On the first three extended passive skill points, the body only reacted a little strangely, as if there was an illusion of genetic mutation.
Xu Xiaoshou didn't think it was anything.
He was interested in experimenting with the ability of the new throne's passive skills.
For example, whether "rebound" plus "toughness" can achieve the effect of breaking the void with a fist as I had previously expected.
For example, "change" was limited by body size before. I wonder if it can be turned into a small stone now. If so, how incomprehensible is the ability to escape?
But due to the fact that someone was secretly spying on him in the cloud world, Xu Xiaoshou did not experiment.
On the contrary, it was the last "breathing method" that Xu Xiaoshou felt timid about, but he thought about doing it sooner or later, so he went straight to it.
This time, the "breathing method" of Grandmaster Level 1 has become the throne level in nature.
It is equivalent to the master's mental method, suddenly transformed into the top throne mental method in the world, and the movement is extraordinary.
Almost immediately, Xu Xiaoshou felt that the pores all over his body were exploding.
Then, the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Yunlun Mountains rushed toward him like a torrent and a tsunami.
The body seems to have become a cornucopia, and there is also a spiritual whirlpool in the basin. The surging spiritual energy of heaven and earth, almost visible to the naked eye, turns into a dragon of spiritual energy, entering crazily from the pores, mouth, nose, ears and eyes...
"Hiss~"
Xu Xiaoshou was lying cross-legged on the ground, and now he felt as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
The pleasant feeling of relief almost immediately made him lose his consciousness of thinking, leaving only the muscles all over his body feeling full and twitching as they frantically absorbed spiritual energy.
"I'm going~"
"Oh my god~"
Xu Xiaoshou's voice was deformed and sounded like a human being.
Xin Gugu and Liu Changqing were startled on one side. Xu Shao just closed his eyes. They didn't think he was practicing. Why suddenly...
Is it like this? !
Seeing Mr. Xu being madly penetrated by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he raised his shoulders, pinched his ribs with his elbows, and crossed his knees. He suddenly pushed forward like a corpse.
Then, like a drunk fish, he suddenly snapped and collapsed on the rock. His body could not help bouncing up and down, and the snapping sound made a wonderful sound with the stone.
"this?"
Xingugu was shocked.
Is this because of cultivation to the point of becoming obsessive?
But the question is, what happened to this sudden spiritual energy storm? How could it all inexplicably converge on Xu Xiaoshou?
Xin Gugu suddenly felt that this scene was a bit familiar?
Liu Changqing was also shocked.
He stared at the previous scene in bewilderment. In the past, when he was traveling with Mr. Xu, no matter what happened or what he encountered, he was as knowledgeable as Bai Xiaosheng.
But what happened to Mr. Xu at this moment...
Liu Changqing couldn't understand it at all!
"Is there a sneak attack?"
"Psychic attack?"
"But...what's going on with this spiritual energy?"
At the bottom of the mountain, more than two hundred trialists who were comprehending the fire source stone also opened their eyes at the same time and looked in the direction of Mr. Xu.
But what they saw was that apart from suddenly becoming misty and misty, the mountains inside could not be seen, and not even a single person could be seen.
"what happened?"
"Is someone attacking?"
"No! Isn't that place where Mr. Xu and his two guardians are staying? How could anyone dare to attack there?"
Everyone was confused and moved together, wanting to go over and find out.
Xiao Jing also stopped practicing and looked in that direction in a daze. What he was confused about was that there was clearly no battle fluctuation there. At this moment, the spiritual energy was gathering, but it looked like an excellent cultivation treasure place.
"Everyone, have you ever felt that all the spiritual energy of the world around you has gone to that place, and we can't absorb it at all?" Xiao Jing asked.
The rest of the people sensed it, looked surprised, and said, "That's true! The spiritual energy of that day seemed to have a master. It didn't listen to my orders at all, and gathered directly towards the top of the mountain..."
"Master Xu, what did you do?"
The people below were shocked and hurried to the top of the mountain for fear of an accident.
No matter what, things can happen to others here, but nothing can happen to Mr. Xu.
"goose……"
On the top of the mountain, Xu Xiaoshou was like a drunken fish, rolling his eyes and beating the rocks with his body.
But every time he touched it, the cool feeling of mint on his skin made him even more ecstatic.
"crazy!"
"I'm mad!"
"The master-level 'breathing method', I managed to control it with great difficulty to prevent the phenomenon of heaven and earth absorbing spiritual energy from shocking others."
"Now, how dare I put the 'Method of Breathing' directly on the throne?"
"How dare I!"
In the center of the storm, Xu Xiaoshou's remaining consciousness was filled with endless regret.
This time the "method of breathing" changed qualitatively, and the spiritual energy he received in a short period of time directly strengthened his cultivation realm to the extreme.
By the way, the overflowing spiritual energy is still trying to break through the thin bottleneck in the early stage of the Celestial Phantasm Realm.
How could Xu Xiaoshou make this broken spiritual energy come true?
His legs suddenly clamped together!
"Uh-huh~"
Breakthrough...
The mysterious master Daoyun could no longer suppress it, even if the throne was "hidden", but when everyone looked at Mr. Xu, this breakthrough wave could be detected by the naked eye.
"It's over!"
Xu Xiaoshou is going crazy.
The cultivation he had suppressed for so long made others mistakenly think that he was just innate. More importantly, the snoopers outside the cloud world also thought so.
But I never thought that this sudden accident would break the balance!
Breaking through to the master celestial phenomenon, the Qi sea tide rises, and the capacity expands again.
The spiritual energy injected into every cell in the body seemed to have found its place and was incorporated into the sea of qi. Xu Xiaoshou finally felt that control of his body was back.
He choked every pore of his body and stopped breathing.
Finally, the crazy spiritual energy between heaven and earth stopped...
"Huh~"
Only then did Xu Xiaoshou breathe a sigh of relief.
Open your eyes.
In front of him, two pairs of big eyes stared in surprise, from Xin Gugu and Liu Changqing.
Further back.
Hundreds of people all climbed up the mountain, each with a strange look on his face and staring at him with strange eyes.
"Under suspicion, passive value, +224."
Xu Xiaoshou: "..."
His face turned red on the spot.
I am famous throughout my life! ! !
But Xu Xiaoshou would not show the shame in his heart. He waved his hands very calmly and said: "What are you doing here? I just made a small breakthrough. Why are you so nervous? Are you afraid that I will be killed?" A sneak attack?"
Everyone: "..."
Is this a small breakthrough?
You call this a small breakthrough?
The aura of heaven and earth that fills the sky is suddenly drained by you alone, and no one else can even sense it. Is this a small breakthrough?
And, most importantly, you are the leader of Xu Gang and Xiao Xu Gang...
So this is what a breakthrough looks like?
Everyone recalled the scene where Xu Shao crossed his legs and moaned just now, and they all laughed, with extremely lewd expressions on their faces.
How long has Mr. Xu been holding it in?
Is the descendant of the Semi-Saint already depressed like this after only nine days in the Yunlun Mountains?
How arrogant, extravagant and licentious his daily life is!
"Boss, I have an idea..."
There was a man in Xiao Xu's gang who had the courage to speak.
"Shut up!"
Xu Xiaoshou turned his cold eyes, faced him directly, and said sternly: "I have a complete way to die for your idea."
"Uh." The man was dumbfounded on the spot and pulled the chain to shut up.
"Hahaha……"
All the testers on the side laughed loudly, including Xiao Jing.
In the past, they always thought that Mr. Xu was a being like a man in heaven, skilled in alchemy and swordsmanship.
But today, they finally saw the human side of this superior semi-saint successor. It turned out that he was also an ordinary person who had been suppressed for a long time, and his "breakthrough" would appear to be very "abnormal"!
In the past few days, through the fire source stone, everyone's favorability towards Mr. Xu has increased, and they occasionally dare to joke, but the distance between them is still there, and it is as wide as a chasm.
It was like meeting the elders and clan masters in the clan.
In addition to being able to make a few jokes at the right time, Xiao Xu's gang members are generally cautious and obedient.
After all, Xu Shao's sword is like an immortal in the sky.
But only what they saw today made the Xiao Xu Gang feel that Xu Shao was just a peer, and he also had the troubles of his peers.
"breakthrough?"
"Hey hey hey..."
Everyone went down the mountain with a lewd smile and continued practicing.
Xu Xiaoshou was left alone, staring at the information bar and the passive skill "Breathing Method", and was lost for a long time.
"What the hell, this cheating skill!"
