After entering the city, Qiao Shan was anxious to hand over the goods, which had already delayed him for an extra day.
"Chen Xiao, what are your plans next?"
In the restaurant, Xiao Yue asked Chen Xiao.
After experiencing so many things, the two formed a deep friendship.
"I have another mission. What does Senior Sister Xiao plan?"
Chen Xiao did not hide it. He still had a mission to hunt the iron-marked lion. After completing it, he could rush back to the sect.
"I have no mission for the moment, how about I go with you."
After Xiao Yue finished speaking, a blush flashed across her cheeks.
"No need for the time being. Senior Sister Xiao will return to Longyan City with Miss Qiao and the others. The Black Scale Mountains are not peaceful recently, and it is not safe for you to go back alone."
Chen Xiao is used to being alone.
Saying this, on the one hand, it is also a disguised rejection of Xiao Yue.
How could he not see that Xiao Yue had developed a liking for him.
Cut off the good feelings as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
How could Xiao Yue not know the meaning of Chen Xiao's words.
"Then be careful."
Xiao Yue is very sensible and lowers her head to eat.
When he was halfway through eating, Qiao Shan came to the restaurant with four guards.
Judging from Qiao Shan's expression, this transaction should go smoothly.
The buyer was very satisfied. Not only did he pay the price truthfully, but he also paid the pension for the loss of two guards.
"Have you heard that something big seems to have happened in the Black Scale Mountains?"
There were other guests in the restaurant, talking loudly.
"I heard about it too. It seems like a lot of people died."
Other tables came over, and for a moment, the entire restaurant was talking about this matter.
"I heard that a dark monster awakened. It not only awakened the sleeping black puppets, but also the skeletons that had been dead for hundreds of years. Experts from the Tianwu Realm have already gone there."
There were a lot of discussions around, Chen Xiao and others ate in silence, no one said anything.
They walked on the outer edge of the Black Scale Mountains and did not enter the core location.
The monster they talked about should be in the deepest part of the Black Scale Mountains, and they did not encounter the huge black monster they talked about.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, they will never enter the Black Scale Mountains again.
After eating and drinking, the seven people returned to the inn.
After asking for a basin of hot water, Chen Xiao washed away his fatigue, returned to bed, sat down cross-legged, and began to breathe out.
Cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Chen Xiao never misses any time for cultivation.
After a night's rest, Chen Xiao said goodbye to them early the next morning, with tears rolling in the corners of Xiao Yue's eyes.
"Have a nice trip, Mr. Chen!"
After watching Chen Xiao leave, Qiao Shan clasped his fists.
They had to transfer back to Longyan City from another mountain range, so they could walk for two more days.
Because of strange things happening on Black Scale, many people have chosen this mountain range these days, and there is basically no problem with safety.
It's convenient for everyone to stay in groups.
Chen Xiao bypassed Yingcheng and left through another exit.
Iron-marked lions can only be found in one place, and that is Qianxia Mountain, where many iron-marked lions live.
It takes about three days to travel from Yingcheng.
There are only ten days left before the outer sect competition, so it stands to reason that the time is enough.
There was no one else around. Chen Xiao used the Nine Transformations of Phantom. His body was like an afterimage, and the trees on both sides continued to retreat.
You can use your body skills unscrupulously, but if you are with them, you have to be more considerate.
Traveling day and night, it took Chen Xiao only two and a half days to finally reach Qianxia Mountain.
This is a very strange mountain. It looks like one mountain, but it is made up of three mountain peaks merged together, like a huge mountain.
The middle peak is higher and the peaks on both sides are shorter.
Groups of iron-marked lions live here. It is not easy for Chen Xiao to hunt down an iron-marked lion at the ninth level of Lingwu.
If it were that easy, it wouldn't be a purple mission.
The iron-marked lion is a social animal, which is different from ordinary lions.
If you hunt one, be prepared to be attacked by other lions.
If you are not careful, you will be surrounded by lions and it will be difficult to escape.
Therefore, this task has high points, but not many people are willing to take it.
If you cooperate with others, each person will get very few points. It is the kind of task that is tasteless and would be a pity to abandon.
If one's own strength is strong enough, it's another matter.
A large number of points can be earned by completing tasks alone.
Along the way, Chen Xiao consumed a lot of spirit stones. He had already spent half of the spirit stones he won from the competition.
Entering the mountain peak, Chen Xiao slowed down and waited for opportunities.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Chen Xiaogang slowed down when he heard the sound of breaking through the air at an extremely fast speed.
"Is there anyone else going here?"
Chen Xiao frowned. The three figures that just passed by had extremely high cultivation levels and were actually at the True Martial Realm.
The sudden appearance of the True Martial Realm cast a shadow over Chen Xiao's mind. What were these True Martial Realms doing here?
Following him quietly, relying on the Nine Transformations of Phantom, ordinary people at the True Martial Realm would not be able to notice Chen Xiao's presence at all.
Passing through the dense forest in the distance, the view ahead suddenly opened up.
In addition to the three Zhenwu realms who just passed by, there are actually eight or nine masters here.
The highest one actually reached the fourth level of Zhenwu.
The one with the lowest strength is only half a step into the True Martial Realm.
It is definitely not a coincidence that so many people appear at the same time.
Moreover, these people are very unfamiliar, they don’t look like disciples of Tianyu Sect.
The Haotian Empire is very large. In addition to Tianyu Sect, there are many sects. Their status is not as high as that of Tianyu Sect, but they should not be underestimated.
Judging from the distribution of these people, they are not a group.
Some are in groups of two or three, and some are alone.
Chen Xiao was lurking in the dark and never showed up.
"Everyone must be attracted by Fu Tianlan. We all rely on our own abilities. Whoever can get it is not allowed to take action."
A young man with a third level of Zhenwu said.
"Futianlan, there are elixirs like Futianlan here."
Chen Xiao was secretly surprised. Futian Orchid was a sixth-grade elixir and was extremely expensive.
If a person in the True Martial Realm swallows it, he will be able to advance to a level unconditionally.
If he gets it, he will definitely be able to break through to the seventh level of Lingwu with the help of Fu Tianlan.
Chen Xiao had to participate in the outer sect competition, and he also had to enter the top ten.
If not, Master Long Peak will expel him from the sect. This is not the result Chen Xiao wants.
After three months, he will be allowed to enter the inner gate.
If you don't reach the True Martial Realm, no matter how powerful your fighting power is, you are still an outer disciple.
Chen Xiao will try his best to improve his cultivation.
The outer disciples Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon learned from Xiao Yue that many outer disciples had broken through to the True Martial Realm and were unwilling to be promoted to the inner sect.
The first level of Zhenwu was at the top of the outer sect, but after being promoted to the inner sect, he was at the bottom.
If you plan to stay in the outer sect for one more year, you can use the annual outer sect competition to obtain a large number of rewards to help you break through to higher cultivation levels.
Although Chen Xiao has the ability to defeat the Zhenwu realm, for safety reasons, he still has to break through to a higher level.
"Fu Tianlan is on the main peak of the Iron Patterned Lion. If we want to get it, we will inevitably fight with the Iron Patterned Lion. Life and death must be determined by destiny."
The third level Lingwu man who just spoke continued to speak.
No one has any objections. Treasures are meant for those who are capable.
