The Chu family mansion.
After Chu Ming flew away with An Muxi's sword in his arms, Wu Zuiluo slowly appeared from the side room with a resentful look on his face and an inexplicable trace of sourness in his heart.
"My master just broke the master-disciple taboo with you last night. As a result, before I could enjoy the tenderness of the morning, you bothered to hug Mu Xi."
He is indeed a lecher!
Wu Zuirao came to the bedside with frivolous steps and sat down. A faint blush appeared on her delicate cheeks again.
In order to avoid accidents, she finally used the ancestral secret method of the fox demon clan.
"Whew! It's really dangerous."
Even now when I think about it, Wu Zuirao is still a little scared.
The physical characteristics of the fox demon clan show that if it is not solved in time, it is 100% sure that they will be attacked.
I also hope that we can have more intimate time in the future.
However, I have planted my own love in Ming'er's naturally charming body, and I can secretly help him if there is any accident, which is an extra guarantee.
Wu Zuirao smiled slightly and tidied up the messy bed very virtuously. However, she did not dissipate the dirty sheets, but carefully folded them and put them away.
This is the testimony between Ming'er and I, we can't throw it away.
However, just as Wu Zuirao was helping Chu Ming tidy up the room, Hua Xiaoying suddenly opened the door and walked in.
The two women looked at each other in shock, feeling a little surprised in their hearts.
Why is this girl's aura so vain?
Wu Zuirao had already known Hua Xiaoying's identity and special physique from Chu Ming, but because she had no threats or bad intentions, she didn't care.
When she saw her this time, she suddenly felt that she had underestimated the mystery of the pretty girl in front of her.
Not only is her breath weak, her life is like a candle in the wind, her cultivation level is extremely low, not even reaching the first level of Qi Refining Realm.
However, her spiritual sea is so deep that she cannot even detect it with her spiritual sense.
Why is this?
While Wu Zuirao stared at Hua Xiaoying with a scrutinizing gaze, Hua Xiaoying also shyly raised her eyelids and looked at her up and down.
What a beautiful person!
I have long heard that Brother Chu said that he has a master who is as beautiful as a fairy. When I saw him today, he was indeed extraordinary.
And the cultivation level is still unfathomable...
Suddenly, as if she thought of something, Hua Xiaoying's eyes widened, and she immediately took out a small notebook to write and draw in it, then came to Wu Zuiluo with some restraint and held it up high.
"Sister, can you accept me as your disciple and teach me how to practice?"
big sister?
Wu Zuirao raised her eyebrows, and her original solemn expression relaxed instantly. She came to Hua Xiaoying with a smile and squatted down, gently held her hand and said softly.
"You know my identity, right?"
Seeing Hua Xiaoying nodding, Wu Zuirao continued.
"Did Ming'er tell you that apart from him and Mu Xi, I will never accept any more disciples in my life?"
Hua Xiaoying was startled when she heard the words, then shook her head and lowered her eyelids with a lonely expression, obviously understanding the meaning of the words.
Wu Zuirao couldn't help but smile when she saw this, took her hand and walked out of the wing.
"Although I don't accept disciples, I can teach you simple cultivation methods."
"As for your status, well... you can be Ming'er's apprentice from now on!"
Brother Chu’s apprentice?
Hua Xiaoying looked slightly stunned, then smiled happily and raised her small notebook.
"Thank you, big sister!"
She had long thought about letting Chu Ming teach her how to practice, but every time she saw that he was extremely busy, she didn't dare to disturb him.
Now Brother Chu's master actually accepted me as his disciple on his behalf?
Great!
Just when Hua Xiaoying was secretly happy, an indifferent chuckle brought her back to reality.
"Since you are Chu Ming's apprentice, don't call me big sister from now on."
?
Hua Xiaoying was stunned for a moment, and immediately wrote down her doubts in a notebook.
"Then how should I call you? Master's masters are usually called master...then I'll call you master?"
"No, this is too old a title."
Wu Zuirao immediately refused and looked at her with a smile.
"Just call me Master Mu."
Master?
Isn't this the title of master Taoist monk?
Logically speaking, I should call Sister-in-law Mu Xi my master's wife...
Hua Xiaoying felt that her brain was a little dizzy, but under Wu Zuirao's repeated emphasis, she slowly accepted the title.
However, Chu Ming, who was hundreds of miles away, obviously had no way of knowing that not long after he stepped out, the master found himself an apprentice!
What he was thinking about now was the charming scene with Wu Zuirao last night.
Relying on his previous theoretical knowledge, he thought it would be as gentle and gentle as the stream flowing in the east.
However, the reality is that it is like a volcano erupting...
"Sure enough, I'm still too excited."
Chu Ming cursed secretly in his heart and sighed slightly with excitement.
But I can't blame myself for this. Who makes Master her so attractive?
What's more, it's not without reason that the fox demon is known as the cauldron...
They all have their own characteristics!
Could it be that every fox demon is different?
Chu Ming suddenly had the idea of mercilessly criticizing them, and then shook his head violently to drive this perverted thought out of his mind.
What's wrong with me? I'm getting more and more affected by this perverted system! ?
no!
We can't sink like this anymore!
As a simple and good boy, I have to be positive and sunny.
Chu Ming looked at his nose and heart, and the unity of his mind calmed his restless heart slightly.
An Muxi, on the other hand, was like a well-behaved kitten. She closed her eyes tightly, curled up in his arms and slept quietly. She seemed to have forgotten her fear of heights until she came to the door of Shengdan Palace. I woke up after the square.
"arrive?"
She rubbed her hazy sleepy eyes and jumped out of Chu Ming's arms. She covered her mouth with her right hand and laughed, and her eyes gradually focused on the black figures in front of her.
"?"
After her consciousness gradually woke up from the confusion, An Muxi's eyes suddenly widened and her pupils shrank suddenly.
Why are there so many people from the Holy Pill Palace? !
Originally, at this time, the square in front of the Holy Pill Palace should be as noisy and noisy as a vegetable market.
As a result, there was not a single stall today, and the huge square was occupied by the neatly arranged team of Shengdan Temple disciples, stretching to the end of the line of sight.
Chu Ming couldn't help but be shocked by such a huge battle. The social fear that had not appeared for a long time once again spread throughout his body, making him a little cautious.
What is this for?
gang war?
"Deacon Chu, you are finally here."
The leader, the old man Shengdan, slowly walked out of the team, came to Chu Ming and patted his shoulder, saying with a kind face.
"Today you will represent our Tianyan Sect Holy Alchemy Hall to participate in the alchemy competition held by the five major sects. I specially brought the disciples of the Holy Alchemy Hall to see you off."
Sending off?
you sure?
Chu Ming looked at the chattering crowd behind Old Man Shengdan, and suddenly felt a little nervous.
They are all about thirty years old, their expressions are more or less warm and angry, and their eyes are filled with jealousy.
How can anyone send someone off with such an expression?
Are you sure they came to see me off and not to beat me up?
Chu Ming couldn't help complaining in his heart, scratching his head in confusion, and then suddenly noticed countless pairs of envious eyes looking behind him.
?
Chu Ming turned his head slightly, and soon found that An Muxi, who was usually cold-tempered and didn't care about other people's eyes, was hiding behind him with his face flushed and his face full of shyness.
Ahhhh!
This is too shameful!
In front of so many people, he actually fell asleep while being held by Chu Ming? !
"..."
Chu Ming held his chin and thought for a moment, then his expression suddenly became clear.
Ouch!
I see!
He finally figured out why he was so targeted...
It turns out that I stole your goddess, you are so anxious!
"Senior sister, why are you hiding behind me?"
Chu Ming raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and immediately in front of many people, he took An Muxi's hand and pulled her to his side, facing Old Shengdan with a smile on his face.
"Palace Master, my Taoist companion cannot bear the loneliness. He wants to accompany me to participate in the alchemy competition. Do you agree?"
"..."
Before Old Man Shengdan could say anything, there was a desperate howl of ghosts and wolves behind him, which slowly fell silent after he pressed his hands down to signal for silence. He stroked his beard and chuckled.
"I have no right to interfere with who you go with, as long as you arrive safely."
"thank you."
Chu Ming bowed slightly to express his thanks, while Old Man Shengdan waved his right hand and his smile became more kind.
"Deacon Chu, in order to make your trip smoother, I have prepared a small farewell gift for you."
Gift?
When Chu Ming heard the word "gift", he instantly recalled the enchanting figure of Wu Zuiluo last night, as well as the ecstasy and bone-crushing low voice in his ears, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little hot again.
Obviously, the palace master would never give such a gift.
Even if you give it to me, I don’t want it!
"It's a map of the Northern Territory."
The old man of Shengdan waved his long sleeve, and a simple cowhide fragment floated in front of Chu Ming.
On the map, two red dots respectively marked the Tianyan Mountains where the Tianyan Sect was located, and the location of Hanhai City.
"The five major sects of the Northern Territory are located at the borders of the Northern Territory with five corners."
"The Tianyan Mountains where we are located is located in the far north, and Hanhai City is located on the boundary of Hanhai Dan Sect, which is the southwest corner of the Northern Territory."
"So, your trip must cross the boundary of the Blazing Fire Immortal Sect in the northwest corner before you can reach the Vast Sea Alchemy Sect."
After studying the route for a while, Chu Ming nodded slightly and silently calculated in his mind.
If there are no accidents on the way, we can fly with the sword during the day and land and rest at night, so we can arrive there in about half a month without stopping.
Of course, the premise is that nothing unexpected happens...
Chu Ming looked at the big word "danger" that marked the boundary of "Blazing Fire Immortal Sect" and couldn't help but feel a little confused. He pointed at this place and asked the old man Chaosheng Dan.
"Palace Master, what does this mean?"
"Well, literally."
For some reason, the old man Shengdan showed an embarrassed expression and kept stroking his beard to explain.
"As the sect with the broadest territory among the five major sects in the Northern Territory, the Blazing Fire Immortal Sect is characterized by its openness to all rivers and the balanced development of various cultivation industries."
"There are countless affiliated sects among them, not to mention the countries affiliated with the affiliated sects. You will have to pass through at least ten or twenty of them along the way."
"The ability to manage so many intricate forces in a unified manner shows the strength and means of the Blazing Fire Immortal Sect."
"Well... to put it in layman's terms, the people in their world are more bold and bold. Do you understand my explanation?"
Bold?
Seeing that Chu Ming looked like he didn't quite understand, Old Shengdan hesitated for a moment as if he was worried, and finally said helplessly after coughing slightly.
"You should know the Tao of the world. There are several branches of cultivation. Each one can achieve the Tao and become an immortal."
"And most of the people in the Blazing Fire Immortal Sect have either fire-attributed spiritual roots or non-attributed spiritual roots. Other spiritual roots are very rare."
"Disciples with fire attribute spiritual roots will naturally be trained by the Blazing Fire Immortal Sect, while those without attribute spiritual roots can only practice the 'Way of the Seven Emotions' on their own."
"And among their 'Seven Emotions', the one they have practiced the most is the Way of Anger..."
said angrily?
Chu Ming was startled, and Xu Shuai's "lovable" peerless sad face suddenly flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but trembled all over and shook his head hurriedly.
Get out of my head!
Don't let this guy in!
That boy practiced "the way of mourning", and ended up sighing all day long as if his wife had run away with someone else.
If this is to practice the "Way of Anger", wouldn't it mean taking action whenever they disagree with each other?
Chu Ming's pupils opened slightly, and then he suddenly seemed to have thought of something. His eyes turned to the group of timid disciples behind the old man of Shengdan, with a sudden expression on his face.
I see!
No wonder you let me go!
This old man must have used some means to secretly check my details. Seeing that I went to the Affairs Hall every day to take over the demon extermination business, he thought that I was the one with the highest cultivation level and the best fighting ability among the disciples of the Holy Pill Hall, so he let me cross the Chi In the realm of Fire Immortal Sect, go to Hanhai City to participate in the alchemy competition
"Well, originally I thought you were the strongest among the disciples of the Holy Pill Hall. As a result, you have recently been recognized by most people in the Affairs Hall and the Martial Arts Hall, so I have strengthened this guess."
Old Man Shengdan stepped forward and patted Chu Ming on the shoulder, not shying away from his words of praise.
"Top 100 in the Martial Arts Hall and top 10 in the Demon Elimination List in the Affairs Hall. I never thought you, the alchemist, would be so strong!"
"Thank you for your compliment."
Chu Ming scratched the back of his head shyly, and immediately looked at each other and laughed loudly at the same time.
"Hahaha! Palace Master, I have something to do, so I won't go to this alchemy competition!"
"Wait!"
Seeing Chu Ming turn around and run away, Old Shengdan floated directly in front of him as if he had expected that he would do this, stroking his white beard and sighing with a sad face.
"Chu Ming, I'm going to tell you something heart-wrenching."
"You also know that alchemy cultivation is not taken seriously in Tianyan Sect, and its comprehensive strength in this area is even inferior to some of the affiliated sects of Hanhai Alchemy Sect."
"But the old men from Tianyan Sect's inner sect have issued a death order again, telling us not to embarrass Tianyan Sect in this alchemy competition."
"But even though they said that, they refused to send elders to escort you on the grounds of 'let the disciples practice', and I couldn't get away..."
As he spoke, the old man Shengdan pretended to wipe his eyes. This made An Muxi, who was watching the show, seem a little soft-hearted and tugged on Chu Ming's sleeves and whispered.
"Chu Ming, let's go."
"Although the realm of Blazing Fire Immortal Sect is relatively chaotic, it is not an abyss of hell, and the people inside are not unreasonable scoundrels."
"Of course I know these truths."
Chu Ming sighed softly, looked at the pleading eyes of the old man Shengdan calmly for a long time, and then said softly.
"Palace Master, I don't have enough reasons to participate in this alchemy competition."
"Deacon Chu, what do you mean?"
"Palace Master, you also know what my senior sister said just now. The world of Blazing Fire Immortal Sect is so chaotic that our trip will definitely be very risky..."
Chu Ming snapped his fingers with his right hand and said in a condensed voice.
"So, we have to pay more!"
"Add money?"
Old Man Shengdan was very shrewd. When he saw Chu Ming's intention to compromise, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief with a kind smile on his face.
"Don't worry, our Holy Pill Palace can handle as many spiritual stones as you want!"
"I don't want the spirit stone."
"Then you want the technique? I can advance all the contribution points for you to purchase the Tianyan Ice Soul Art after you enter the inner sect!"
"I've already saved up."
Seeing Chu Ming say these words so calmly, the old man Shengdan was suddenly startled.
? ? ?
Got it all saved?
real or fake?
You know, Tianyan Ice Soul Jue requires 20,000 contribution points to redeem!
Where did you get so many things?
Before the old man of Shengdan could recover from his surprise, Chu Ming came to him with a wicked smile on his lips, hugged his shoulders regardless of the etiquette of his predecessors, and leaned over to whisper softly in his ear.
"Palace Master, I remember that there is an elder position available in our Holy Pill Palace, right?"
"Um?"
The old man of Shengdan turned his head and stared at Chu Ming's smiling expression in surprise, and instantly understood what he meant.
What a smart boy!
As long as he gets the rights of the elder, it can be said that the resources of the Holy Pill Palace will be secretly and unconditionally tilted towards him.
Isn’t this much better than spiritual stones and skill rewards?
"You boy are really... you really think about our Holy Pill Palace!"
Old Shengdan's slightly angry tone changed instantly, he stroked his beard and chuckled.
"As long as you can successfully complete the task this time, let alone the position of elder, I can give up my position as the master of the Holy Pill Hall to you!"
"I don't want to be tied to a position."
Chu Ming spread his hands and pouted, then walked to An Muxi and took her hand. As his toes tapped the ground, the Dior Spirit Sword instantly flew to his feet, taking the two of them into the air.
"Please rest assured, Lord."
Chu Ming slowly turned around, looking down at the expectant faces of the disciples of Shengdan Hall, and then stared at the old man of Shengdan, bowed his hands and saluted, and his tone was extremely firm.
"I won't let Tianyan Sect be embarrassed."
"Chu Ming, the competition is secondary. You must pay attention to your own safety."
Old Man Shengdan stroked his beard and watched Chu Ming go away with a cheerful expression on his face, his cloudy eyes filled with endless joy and admiration.
At this time, a bald old man with a round face leaned over and asked in a low voice.
"Palace Master, is Chu Ming reliable?"
"Although the talent in our Holy Alchemy Hall is withering, under the restriction of being under thirty years old, there are still people with higher alchemy skills and cultivation than him. Why do you insist on letting him go?"
“How can a young bird spread its wings and become an eagle without going through hardships?”
Old Man Shengdan smiled with a relaxed expression.
"What's more, you don't even know whose disciple he is. Since that person has secretly promised us to do this, she will definitely not let anything happen to Chu Ming."
After saying that, the old man of Shengdan put his hands behind his hands and floated away into the distance.
…
"Chu Ming, where is our next goal to fly to?"
In mid-air, An Muxi looked at the spiritual mist passing by below and wondered, and then suddenly realized that she seemed to be falling rapidly.
When the two stepped on the ground, Chu Ming waved his hand and put away the Dior Spirit Sword, pulled An Muxi to a deserted dense forest, pushed her against the trunk of a towering ancient tree, and said with an indifferent expression. .
"Sister, are you hiding something from me?"
"ah?"
An Muxi blinked her beautiful eyes cutely and glanced away with a guilty conscience.
She tried to escape to the left, but was stopped by Chu Ming's right arm; she tried to escape to the right, but was stopped by his left arm.
In the end, with no way to go, she had no choice but to take a small step forward, her arms as delicate as white lotus roots took the initiative to wrap around Chu Ming's neck, and they pressed against him, tilting her head in a cute way.
"I don't understand what you are saying."
"Don't you understand?"
Chu Ming let An Muxi act coquettishly in his arms, took out the map and said calmly with an unmoved expression.
"Senior sister, don't you know where Hanhai City is?"
"Isn't it in the territory of the Vast Sea Dan Sect?"
Seeing An Muxi continue to pretend to be stupid, Chu Ming grabbed her waist and slapped her hard with his right hand, causing her to yelp and then she protested pitifully.
"Why did you hit me!"
"Children who don't tell the truth will of course be punished by family law."
Chu Ming pinched her gently again and sighed helplessly when An Muxi twisted her waist to avoid it. He stared into her shy beautiful eyes and spoke word by word.
"Senior sister, Hanhai City is your Anguo city, why didn't you tell me about this?"
