At night, on the mountain behind Liuzhuang, a hanging spring and waterfall stand in front of Xie Xuan. The cool autumn moon shines on the pool water, making the shimmering light ripple.
"How did you do when you put sword energy into chess?" the old man asked.
"Nine pieces each have three, a total of 3927 sword energy, all collected." Bai Ze took out a chess piece from his arms and responded.
"Let's take a look at the sword." Xie Xuan said.
"Okay." Bai Ze held the chess piece in his hand, and with the pure yang energy circulating in his body, he shouted: "Ask me for a sword, here comes the sword!"
For a moment, silver light suddenly burst out from the chess pieces, rising into the sky like a giant, bringing with it sword winds.
Xie Xuan remained silent, stretched out his left hand, and formed a secret seal, and a strange scene suddenly appeared! He saw the Waterfall Sword Qi being pulled by his hand, and it actually circled three times around the pool, and then fell straight down, shrinking continuously, and fell into the palm of his hand. It was trapped on Xie Xuan's fingertips and kept spinning. It was impossible to escape for a while.
"Not bad, acceptable." Xie Xuan glanced at the sword energy in his hand, pointed his finger in the air, and pointed at the waterfall pool.
"boom!!--"
The sword energy whizzed out, like a swimming dragon, with a flash of silver light, it had already penetrated into the pool, and then the energy cut vertically and horizontally, splitting the entire pool into two, and the pool water splashed up, straight into the night sky, as if the rain was flowing backwards!
"Take this chess piece." Xie Xuan took out a black piece from his arms, handed it to Bai Ze, and said, "The nineteenth avenue is a glimmer of hope. Those nine white pieces are for you to use, and this black piece is mine. A glimmer of hope left for you.”
Bai Ze carefully put it away.
"You may encounter murder during this trip. In times of crisis, this son can prevent you from disaster." Xie Xuan said, looking at Bai Ze, "I allow you to rest for one day. At Yin time the day after tomorrow, we will go to Heyang City."
"Going to Heyang?" Bai Ze was stunned and asked, "Master asked me to go to Heyang, what should I do?"
"We will know when the time comes." Xie Xuan smiled calmly and said, "Tonight, I will teach you another method."
"What technique?" Bai Ze perked up upon hearing this.
"The art of disguise." Xie Xuan took a sip of wine and said leisurely.
On the third day, when the morning star was still shining brightly, Xie Xuan was already waiting in the village chief's yard. Bai Ze strung ten chess pieces into a bracelet and put it on his wrist. When he went out with his willow sword, what he saw was Xie Xuan's back standing proudly in the misty night.
"You're here, are you ready?" Xie Xuan asked him.
"Everything is fine." Bai Ze nodded. Despite his young age, his eyes were surprisingly steady.
"Okay, come with me to Heyang." Xie Xuan flicked his right sleeve and made a secret seal, "The universe is in your sleeve!"
Bai Ze felt an awe-inspiring force drag him into Xie Xuan's sleeves, and then his eyes darkened, and he had already entered a mysterious and chaotic space.
"I want to learn this trick too!" Bai Ze thought it was amazing and shouted into Xie Xuan's sleeve.
"If you want to learn, I'll come back and teach you after you finish what I told you!" Xie Xuan transformed into a rainbow, stood up from the ground, and was already above Liuzhuang in an instant.
Taoist Qi flying method!
The autumn wind rustled, Xie Xuan roughly identified the direction, suspended a hundred feet in the air with his hands behind his back, and then flew away with a clear whistle.
"Master, when will I be able to control the air and fly like you?" Bai Ze heard the wind roaring in his ears like a blue dragon, and he couldn't help but feel envious and asked.
"Zhiwei should be able to wield a sword." Xie Xuan said with a smile, "If you want to be like a teacher, you are still early! No matter what, you must break through the world of mortals and step into the extraordinary, and cultivate to the supreme realm."
"Supreme realm?" Bai Ze sighed, "When can I reach the supreme level?"
"you?" His true energy may be as good as being a teacher."
"Only when you reach the peak of Pure Yang and enter the Supreme Realm can you compare to Master?" Bai Ze exclaimed, "Master, please don't deceive me!"
"Hahaha, maybe, not even one point can compare." Xie Xuan said again.
"Master, are you really that tall?" Bai Ze also laughed.
"It's higher than you think." Xie Xuan took a sip of wine and went faster.
In just one cup of tea, Xie Xuan had already crossed hundreds of miles, crossed half of the city boundary of Heyang, and flew to Heyang, the first city in the southern region of the Yan Kingdom in the north!
The majestic city came into view. Unlike Liuzhuang in the dark night, Heyang City was still full of lights, lighting up half of the sky, even when it was already dawn.
Xie Xuan restrained his breath and looked at an uninhabited corner of the city. In a flash, a silhouette appeared in the courtyard of a remote alley in Heyang City.
"Come out." Xie Xuan waved his sleeves, and Bai Ze immediately exited the chaotic space. Looking around, he saw that it was a simple courtyard, not big, but enough for one person to live in.
"Master, where is this?" Bai Ze asked.
"Using some tricks, I rented a house in the city." Xie Xuan took a sip of wine and said, "In the future, you will live here. After you have collected all the elixirs that the master has entrusted you to collect, crush them This jade token, I will come to pick you up." After saying that, he handed Bai Ze an ancient jade token.
Bai Ze's subordinate touched a parchment in his arms that Xie Xuan had given him earlier. It clearly recorded all the elixirs he needed to collect during this trip, including pictures of what the elixirs looked like, the place where the elixirs were born, etc. Wait, everything is available.
"Then I can leave." Xie Xuan touched Bai Ze's head and said with a smile: "The young eagle is always cared for too well by the eagle, which is not conducive to its growth. Disciple, I will give you one season as a master. , when the new year is approaching, whether you have collected the elixirs or not, I will come to pick you up."
"Master, don't worry, I'll do the work!" Bai Ze said proudly, patted his chest, and said, "The new year is not here yet, watch me crush the spiritual jade, and ask you to come and pick me up!"
"Okay!" Xie Xuan laughed loudly and said, "Then I'll wait for the good news!" After that, with a flick of his sleeves, he rose into the sky, transformed into a rainbow, and crossed Heyang City.
Bai Ze was not a hypocritical person. He watched Xie Xuan leave and inspected his small courtyard. The courtyard was not big, but there was a sycamore tree, a stone table and benches under the tree, a well nearby, a wing, a kitchen and a toilet. between.
Bai Ze packed up, went into the wing, undressed and went to sleep, but couldn't fall asleep, so he sat up cross-legged and started practicing the "Chun Yang Zhen Jing" by himself.
In the Dantian Qi Sea, because the pure Yang Qi rotates into clouds, it can absorb the pure Yang spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own, circulate around, and turn into Qi. Therefore, his cultivation speed cannot be compared to that of an unparalleled genius. .
Now that he has broken through the third level of the Sea of Bitterness, the pure Yang Qi in his body is already as large as the back mountain of Liuzhuang. When he uses it, he will not worry about the sudden depletion of his Qi as he used to.
After practicing until dawn, Bai Ze suddenly opened his eyes, took out the sheepskin roll in his arms, and began to observe it carefully.
There are more than a dozen kinds of elixirs listed by Xie Xuan. Some of them cannot be called medicinal herbs at all, because what Xie Xuan wants is the hearts of certain monsters.
"Now that my cultivation level is no higher than the Sea of Bitterness, if I fight with my own strength against those monster beasts recorded on the parchment scrolls, I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat them." Bai Ze thought to himself, "Especially the Heart of the Black Snake. Living in Zangling Mountain, I have read "The Record of Kyushu Alien Beasts", and it is said that this mysterious snake is also cultivated on the other side."
It is better to collect medicine first and improve your cultivation. At least you should go to the Seventh Heaven of the Sea of Bitterness before thinking about the Heart of the Black Snake in the Hidden Spirit Mountain.
After making up his mind, Bai Ze saw that it was already daybreak, so he tidied up, circulated his true energy, and used the method of disguise. Suddenly, his bones crackled, his height suddenly increased, and his appearance became what he would look like when he grew up, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and black hair scattered. Standing with his sword behind his back, he looks like a handsome young man.
The people in Mo Shang are like jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world.
Bai Ze looked at his appearance after the disguise through the bronze mirror in the room, and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad! She is quite charming."
He smiled freely, went out with his sword, and walked away.
Bai Ze is no stranger to this Heyang City. Previously, I was traveling with Ouyang Mu, and the destination was Heyang City. After entering the city with Xie Xuan, they stayed for more than half a month and had a fairly good understanding of things in the city.
Heyang City is the first city in the southern border of Yan Kingdom. The lord of the city, Mu Suifeng, is also one of the three famous generals of the Yan Kingdom. His cultivation is beyond the world of mortals, and he has reached the extraordinary level, which is the supreme realm.
The division of forces in the city is very clear. In addition to the wealthy families, there are three main forces.
The City Lord's Mansion is the garrison of Heyang City and Mu Suifeng's private army; the Chamber of Commerce, the Heyang City Trading Group, issues bounty missions, auctions licensed goods, and resells a series of commodities, and is also the economic pillar of Heyang City; the mercenary group , a small private armed group, are adventurers, doing a knife-edge job, and the tasks they receive are mostly bounty tasks issued by the Chamber of Commerce, or some bounty tasks issued in a private name.
Bai Ze turned out of the alley and ate something at a breakfast stall on the street, a drawer of steamed buns, a bowl of porridge, and a tea egg for ten cents.
He didn't have much money in his pocket, only three taels of silver. This is still the few remaining possessions that Xie Xuancha has accumulated.
After eating, he planned to go to the Chengdong Chamber of Commerce to try his luck and see if there was a bounty mission that would coincide with the elixir he wanted to collect.
Come and collect medicine. Secondly, elixirs usually don't exist in one place. Most of them have some nearby, so you can make some extra money on the way. Thirdly, if you can form a team and act with a group of people, it is better than fighting alone, and your chance of survival in the deep mountains and old forests can also be improved.
