After leaving Shuiyun Tower, Mu Bei returned to the small courtyard.
After resting for a while, he practiced behind closed doors.
In a blink of an eye, two days passed.
On this day, he took out the last lotus seed from the Nine-Fruit Spiritual Lotus and used it to practice the "One Sword Peerless" technique.
The medicinal power of lotus seeds blooms in the belly, and under the influence of the "One Sword Peerless" technique, it flows to the bones of the whole body.
The sound of rattling sounds could be heard from time to time, and the entire body's bones were undergoing deep polishing under the "One Sword Peerless" technique.
With this polishing, his bones continued to strengthen, but he also felt a very severe pain.
In this regard, Mu Bei looked normal and did not even frown.
Cultivation is to polish oneself, just like forging iron, it requires repeated tempering, and this process is naturally very arduous.
How can you become stronger without experiencing pain?
As the old saying goes, there is no rainbow without wind and rain.
Time passed, and soon an hour passed.
An hour later, all the medicinal power of the lotus seeds was refined and absorbed, and a thick layer of filth appeared on the surface of his body.
As expected, all nine lotus seeds of the Nine-Fruit Spirit Lotus were refined. At this moment, he reached the realm of accumulating blood.
The dirt on the body surface is the impurities discharged from the body.
After a brief shower, he put on clean clothes.
"We have to find some elixir to benefit the blood."
he thought.
Among the six realms of martial arts, the realm of accumulating blood and nourishing qi are the most critical. These two stages, combined, are the realm of accumulating blood and qi.
Blood is the foundation of a warrior. Whether a warrior is strong or not has the most direct relationship with the strength of his blood.
The blood-accumulating state is the blood-quenching state. If you want to polish your skills to perfection at this stage, it is best to find some blood-benefiting elixirs to assist you.
"Dong dong dong."
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Mu Bei stood up and opened the door. There was a young man in yellow standing outside.
Xiang Zimao.
"What are you doing here?" Mu Bei glanced at him: "You still want to take revenge?"
"No, no, no! No! I didn't! I don't dare anymore!" Xiang Zimao shook his head repeatedly: "I...I'm here to apologize!"
With that said, he handed out a yellow pear wooden box with both hands: "My father asked me to send it, please Brother Bei... No! Please accept it, Brother Bei."
Mu Bei glanced at it and said, "No need, let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to close the door.
"Don't... don't, Brother Bei!" Xiang Zimao said anxiously: "This is what my father and I want. Brother Bei, just accept it. If you don't accept it, I will feel uneasy! If you go back like this, My dad will break my legs!”
He was like an ant on a hot pot, his eyes were red and he looked like he was about to cry.
Mu Bei was speechless: "Okay, seven-foot man, don't shed your tears over such a trivial matter here. Put your things down and let's go."
"Okay, okay!"
Seeing that Mu Bei agreed to accept it, Xiang Zimao was suddenly pleasantly surprised.
"Go back and tell your father that the grudges were settled two days ago. As long as you don't take the initiative to cause trouble for me, I won't be able to find a way out of you."
Mubei Road.
Xiang Zimao nodded repeatedly, placed the pineapple wooden box on the stone table in the courtyard, then stepped out, carefully closing the courtyard door for Mu Bei.
Mu Bei walked to the stone table and opened the wooden box, and a strong fragrance suddenly hit his face.
Just then, there were three bloody Ganoderma lucidum placed in the wooden box. Each one was full-bodied and at least a hundred years old.
"Red Fire Dragon Zhi."
His eyes moved slightly.
The hundred-year-old Crimson Fire Dragon Zhi is a second-grade medium elixir. At this stage of martial arts, it is the best choice among blood-benefiting elixirs.
These three Red Fire Dragon Zhi plants are worth at least 500,000 silver notes in total!
The most important thing is that such things are difficult to buy even if you have money.
Such rare cultivation resources, as soon as they appear, will be immediately bought by some big families for the use of the strong ones in the clan.
Xiang Tianao sent three hundred-year-old Crimson Fire Dragon Zhi directly this time, which was a real investment.
"Are you so afraid of my revenge in the future?"
Mu Bei wanted to laugh, was he such a capricious person? Since he didn't kill someone two days ago, why would he need to take revenge in the future?
However, Xiang Tianao's fear solved one of his needs. He was just thinking about finding a blood-based elixir when the other party sent it to him.
These three Red Fire Dragon Zhi plants are enough for him to assist in his cultivation in the Blood Containing Realm.
Without thinking too much, he broke off a section of Longzhi to stabilize the blood-containing realm he had just achieved.
Red Fire Longzhi is full of positive energy and contains amazing medicinal power. After entering the abdomen, the medicinal power melts and pours into his blood instantly.
Under the mobilization of the "One Sword Peerless" technique, the longzhi medicine full of positive spiritual energy quickly tempered his blood.
During this process, he felt a burning sensation in his body and his blood seemed to be boiling.
At the same time, he could also clearly notice that his energy and energy were improving little by little.
Half an hour later, the medicinal power of this piece of Longzhi was completely refined and absorbed, and he felt that his cultivation in the Blood Containing Realm had become as stable as a rock.
The blood in the body has become more than twice as pure.
"It is indeed a second-grade medium elixir."
he sighed.
In the following days, he no longer went out and stayed in the courtyard to practice.
During this period, Fan Xinxin came to him several times and asked him about Xiang Zimao. He felt relieved when he learned that it had been taken care of.
At the same time, I was also very surprised.
"Cousin, you are so powerful, you can even deal with that Xiang Zimao! I almost feel like you can do anything!"
Xiang Zimao, one of the two major evils in the county, was unwilling to provoke even some senior figures, but he could not do anything about Mu Bei.
Every time Fan Xinxin came, she stayed for more than an hour, asking Mu Bei around and asking Mu Bei to guide her in her cultivation.
Mu Bei was not stingy either. He gave detailed instructions on some cultivation issues and helped her solve many cultivation problems.
Time flies, thirteen days have passed since he arrived in the county town, and there are only two days left before he has to take the sea boat to the border.
"Finally go see my aunt."
He got up and walked towards Fan Mansion.
Not long after, he came to his aunt's residence to say goodbye briefly and told her about his upcoming trip to the border to join the army.
"It's good to join the army and protect the country. It's a great honor!" Xuan Qingshui said, feeling very distressed: "It's just that it's hard work in the army, Bei'er, can you bear it?"
"It's okay, auntie, I can endure hardship."
Mu Bei smiled.
"Well done, he is indeed the child of my sister and brother-in-law. He will definitely achieve great things in the future!" Xuan Qingshui lovingly rubbed Mu Bei's head, stood up and said, "Sit down first, while my aunt prepares a big meal. Reward our heroes who are about to defend our country!"
Soon, the table was filled with delicious dishes. Mu Bei discovered that they were all the dishes he liked before.
"Thank you, auntie."
he said.
After so many years, my aunt still remembered all his favorite dishes, which warmed his heart.
"If the whole family doesn't say thank you, when you come back from joining the army, Bei'er, my aunt will prepare a few more feasts for you."
Xuan Qingshui's eyes were gentle.
Fan Xinxin pouted: "Mom, you don't seem to be so kind to me."
As she said that, she giggled again and said, "But this is a reward for my cousin. I'm not jealous at all, but I'm very happy!"
Mu Bei smiled and the three of them were talking and laughing. After a while, there were not many dishes left on the table.
"Fifth Madam, I've received the elixir."
An attendant pushed in the door without knocking and handed two blue pills to Xuan Qingshui.
Xuan Qingshui frowned and said, "Liu Weiwei, weren't there three Zhengyuan Pills last month? How come there are two pills this month?"
"I don't know about that. I'm only responsible for delivering the pill. If you don't want it, I'll take it back."
Liu Weiwei said impatiently.
Xuan Qingshui sighed, said nothing more, took the two Zhengyuan Pills and put them away carefully.
"The direct descendants of the clan were originally given ten Zhengyuan Pills every month, but we have been continuously cut back. Now we are only given two pills!"
Fan Xinxin whispered to Mu Beidao and clenched his hands.
Mu Bei sighed in his heart, but he really understood the situation of his aunt and cousin in Fan's house.
"By the way, Fifth Madam, there is one more thing. The patriarch has made an engagement for Miss Xinxin, and the other party is Young Master Wei Geng of the Wei Mansion." Liu Weiwei said: "Master Wei Geng is already on his way to welcome the Fifth Madam. Let’s freshen up and dress up Miss Xinxin, and then go to the main hall to wait.”
Xuan Qingshui's expression changed: "What did you say?!"
Fan Xinxin slapped the table and got angry: "Say it again!"
Mu Bei's eyes were slightly stern. He had been here in the county for so many days, and he already knew a lot about the county. As for Wei Geng, who in the city doesn’t know? He is a complete scumbag, relying on his father's power and pampering. He has committed crimes such as burning, killing, raping, and looting over the years, and has harmed many people.
The head of the Fan family actually wanted to marry Fan Xinxin to Wei Geng!
If Fan Xinxin really gets married, her life will be ruined.
Liu Weiwei glanced at Xuan Qingshui and Fan Xinxin indifferently: "This is a marriage arranged by the patriarch. It's useless for you to yell at me. Just prepare well."
After saying that, he left.
Fan Xixin was shocked, angry and angry. She clenched her hands tightly and her pretty face turned pale with anger.
Xuan Qingshui showed a rare angry look and said to Fan Xinxin: "Don't be afraid, my mother is still here, so I will go to Fan Mingxuan to make it clear! I will never marry!"
After saying that, he walked towards the main hall of Fan Mansion.
Fan Xinxin hurriedly caught up.
Mu Bei followed the two of them.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at the main hall of Fan Mansion.
The main hall is spacious and luxurious, and there are a few middle-aged people and a few young people standing there. At this time, they have simply dressed up and pulled some red silk.
"Fan Mingxuan! Why did Xinxin offend you? You actually want to marry her to that Wei Geng!" Xuan Qingshui walked up to Fan Mingxuan, the leader of the Fan clan, and said angrily: "I don't agree to this marriage!"
Fan Mingxuan was wearing a silver robe and glanced at Xuan Qingshui: "This is something I decided with several elders. My brother and sister, you have no say."
"you!"
Xuan Qingshui glared angrily, trembling with anger, but couldn't speak for a while.
According to the rules of the Fan family, the clan leader can directly make the decision on the marriage of the children of the clan. Once the clan leader makes the decision, she really has no room to refute.
Fan Xinxin naturally knew this and clenched her fists tightly: "I won't marry!"
Although she said this, her little face was already pale, and despair emerged.
Behind Fan Mingxuan stood a girl in a blue dress, Fan Ruanxiang, the apple of Fan Mingxuan's eye, glanced at Fan Xinxin and said: "Wei Geng is the son of the patriarch of the Wei family, and his status is the first in the county and city. It is your blessing to marry him. ! Marry into the Wei Mansion, serve Wei Geng well, and you will have plenty of glory and wealth in the future. You should be happy, and you should be grateful to my father. Why are you aggrieved here?"
Fan Xinxin glared at Fan Ruanxiang and was about to pounce, but was stopped by Mu Bei.
Looking at Fan Ruoxiang, Mu Bei said quietly: "My cousin cannot bear such a great blessing. Otherwise, why don't you get married?"
