Chapter 447: Ajie's Secret
"arrive."
A man and a woman stopped in front of an ethereal spiritual palace.
He rushed to Tiansang Ling Palace without stopping because Xu Xiaoshou also felt that it was not long before the White Cave was opened.
In this Tiansang City alchemist assessment, strictly speaking, Xu Xiaoshou failed extremely.
He only got a tenth-grade alchemist badge.
Even if he wanted to prove his strength again at the dinner party, he was banned because of Chairman Shiti's cowardice, thus losing this opportunity.
"pity."
Xu Xiaoshou sighed.
But from another level, he felt that he had indeed achieved his other goals once he went there.
Not only did he get a spot in the White Grotto on his own, he even learned the relevant information about the White Grotto in advance.
Even the "Tian Cardinal Disk" and Xu Xiaoji were automatically sent to his Yuan Mansion inexplicably.
Unbelievable!
"Go in, first go to Lingzang Pavilion to find Old Man Sang."
Xu Xiaoshou was exhausted, but he still didn't dare to rest immediately.
Mr. Sang’s words are still fresh in my memory.
He even dared not forget the instruction to return before the White Cave opened.
After all, the old man was not a good person. If something happened, it was possible that he might have been treated as lard.
Mu Zixi nodded and followed Xu Xiaoshou's pace.
…
Lingzang Pavilion.
The familiar large bathtub was still there, and the miscellaneous medicine bottles on the alchemy cabinet were still scattered, but the man was nowhere to be seen.
"Not there?"
Xu Xiaoshou was slightly surprised.
Since Mr. Sang was not here, he really didn't know where to find someone.
"letter?"
Mu Zixi was wandering around boredly with dark circles under her eyes. Suddenly she saw a letter on the alchemy cabinet, and her spirit was shaken.
"A little inspiration."
When she saw the three words at the bottom, the little girl's face froze, and she immediately covered it with her little hand, trying to pick up the envelope.
Xu Xiaoshou was one step faster than it and snatched it away.
"I want to see it too." Mu Zixi raised her pretty face.
"I can't say it was a whisper that the old man told me. I'll show it to you after I've finished reading it."
Xu Xiaoshou chuckled.
He knew that Mr. Sang never did anything meaningless.
Maybe leaving this letter means that he has probably left the spiritual palace temporarily.
Otherwise, if it's really serious, can't we just say it in person?
Why even leave a message?
And that damn old man, I have to say, does have some secrets about him.
Sometimes, some secrets may not be of great benefit to those who know them, and may even have the opposite result.
Junior sister...
Well, let’s just be a fool!
"snort!"
Mu Zixi was so angry that she stamped her foot, immediately cheered up, her big eyes rolled darkly, and she continued to look for the letter that Mr. Sang left for her.
Xu Xiaoshou glanced at it and opened the envelope.
The words, which are as ugly as earthworms, appear abstractly.
"My master has left and he probably won't be back for a while. Why? It's okay not to say anything."
This is the first sentence.
After Xu Xiaoshou finished reading, he clicked his tongue immediately.
Good to leave!
Better never come back.
As for the reason, what kind of reason does Gui Qi Qi have?
Goodbye to you.
He continued to look down.
"The White Cave has reserved a place for you? Remember to go? The 'Jinzhao Fire Seed' you need for cultivation can be obtained there."
Jinzhao fire kindling?
Xu Xiaoshou looked startled.
Only then did he remember that before leaving Tiansang City, Mr. Sang had indeed given him two jade slips.
They are "Jizhao Tianyan·White Flame" and "Dragon Fusion World".
The prerequisite for practicing both is the "Jinzhao Fire Seed" which is higher than the "Jinzhao Fire Seed".
"Baiyan, Longrong Realm..."
Xu Xiaoshou recalled the way Sang Lao trapped the masked man.
This seemed to be the first time he had seen Mr. Sang actually take action.
Looking back now, if the practice of "Dragon Fusion Realm" is successful, it is impossible to say that even the realm of the throne can be burned directly.
"horrible!"
At that time, Xu Xiaoshou had never fought against the throne, and he did not know the general concept, so he did not know how valuable the spiritual skills in his hands were.
But now? My "cooking proficiency" and "enduring life" have both reached the master level.
In addition, "Jinzhao Fire Seed" may also be able to add some passive values to yourself...
Xu Xiaoshou hesitated.
Does it hurt? It does hurt a little.
But where can success be achieved overnight?
In addition, after trying the benefits of "Raging Giant", "Explosive Stance", and "Reaching the Sky in One Step".
Xu Xiaoshou wished he could awaken all his passive skills.
Now, out of the city lord's mansion? The only way I can get a lot of passive points at present is to follow the old path...
"Based?"
Xu Xiaoshou picked at his fingernails and hesitated.
"It's not impossible..."
"talk later!"
Putting these down, he continued to look down.
"Take the 'Four Swords' if you can? Don't worry too much about what happens after you get out."
"It doesn't matter if you can't get it, but remember, this sword must not fall into Bai Yi's hands!"
White clothes...
Xu Xiaoshou narrowed his eyes.
Why not red?
Did you write it wrong?
Or? Sang Lao and Bai Yi have a grudge?
Or is it that he and the Holy Temple are not dealing with each other?
The letter didn't say the reason, so Xu Xiaoshou couldn't guess.
But the sentence "Take it if you can" really moved Xu Xiaoshou.
He had many prerequisites, plus a strong spiritual formation foundation. Theoretically, the probability of getting "Four Swords" was much greater than that of others.
The reason why he didn't want to take it before was because he didn't dare.
But what Sang Lao said...
"Can you believe it?"
Xu Xiaoshou was too suspicious.
Very suspicious!
The old man didn't say a word and just flashed away.
What if he entered the White Cave and got the "Four Swords" and faced the siege of dozens of thrones directly?
No matter how strong this old man is, he can't be alone. For himself, he can't risk his precious life!
"Let's talk about it later..."
Xu Xiaoshou put it down again.
There was not much content in the letter, and he could see it at a glance.
"There are no rules in the White Cave. After entering, just follow the guidance of your heart."
"Remember, what the master once said to you, don't believe anyone in this world!"
Xu Xiaoshou closed the letter.
"This old man..."
"What does he want to say?"
"Can't he just say it directly? Is he asking me not to believe someone...him?"
Xu Xiaoshou pressed his forehead.
His head hurts!
He calmed down and recalled the contents of the letter.
"Very standard."
"There is no special instruction. Even when he asked me to bring 'four swords', he just said it was okay or not. It's all right."
"Is it a trick?" Xu Xiaoshou rubbed his chin.
"To prevent me from rebelling?"
"Or is it a retreat to advance?"
He said he still couldn't figure out what Mr. Sang meant.
Indeed, if you only look at this letter, Mr. Sang is really a good master.
You are responsible for making your own way, and I will bear all the consequences.
But is Mr. Sang such a person?
"He asked me to enter the White Cave, obviously for some special purpose, just like last time I didn't say anything, but I still brought out the Black Fall Sword Scabbard."
"Although the scabbard is still in my hand, it feels like everything is still in the control of this damn old man."
"This time, he must have some hidden intentions!"
Xu Xiaoshou pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.
Apart from "there are four swords", he really couldn't think of anything that could become the target of Mr. Sang.
"A bunch of nonsense!"
When he finally came to a conclusion, Xu Xiaoshou wanted to burn the letter in his hand in a depressed mood.
In terms of fighting wits, it seems that the only one who can easily crush him at present is this damn old man.
However, the main reason is that he has too little contact with him.
In Lushan...
"Hey, wait!"
Mu Zixi rushed over and snatched the letter to be burned.
"What for?"
Xu Xiaoshou could hide, but it was really a bunch of nonsense here, so he didn't care.
"Not me?"
Mu Zixi quickly read it and pouted.
"Why is the master so partial? It's fine if he didn't leave a letter for me, but in the letter to you, there was not even a word to take care of me?"
Xu Xiaoshou was immediately amused.
"Maybe you have never been in his mind?"
Mu Zixi suddenly fell silent.
It should have been a joke, but this time it deeply hurt her heart.
Indeed.
In her sixth sense, old man Sang seemed to care about her and even held a master-apprentice ceremony for her.
This was a treatment that Xu Xiaoshou had never had.
But privately, the relationship between Xu Xiaoshou and him seemed more like a real master and apprentice.
At least that kind of intimacy, I can see it completely, but I can't feel it.
Even!
Stuck between the two, Mu Zixi even felt a little out of place.
"Out of place..."
"Obviously we are master and apprentice..."
Thinking of this, Mu Zixi's eyes suddenly turned red.
Since he didn't like me, why did he accept me as his apprentice at that time?
"Oh, why are you crying?"
Xu Xiaoshou was startled.
This girl is not like this usually!
Why can't she even make a joke this time?
Where is your curse?
Contribute it!
"Cursed, passive value, +1, +1, +1, +1..."
Xu Xiaoshou: "..."
Sure enough, curses will only be late, but never absent.
"I'll give you a small gift."
Xu Xiaoshou wiped the tears of the little junior sister.
"Gift?"
Mu Zixi's eyes suddenly lit up, and the gloom was swept away, "What gift?"
Xu Xiaoshou raised his hand and took out his small bathtub.
"Haven't you always wanted this big treasure of my senior brother? I'll give it to you now!"
"Really?"
Mu Zixi couldn't believe it.
Is this still Xu Xiaoshou?
Is this still the stingy Xu Xiaoshou who never gave a penny?
It turns out that to deal with him, you have to use tears...
That's it!
She burst into laughter: "You won't regret it?"
"Yes."
After getting a positive answer, Mu Zixi took the small bathtub.
Only then did she remember that she seemed to only care about herself.
Xu Xiaoshou is the true successor of Jinzhao's alchemy.
He seemed to need this small bathtub more than herself?
"You gave me this alchemy cauldron, so what do you use it for?"
Mu Zixi's face showed reluctance and hesitation.
Xu Xiaoshou smiled heartily.
"What's the big deal? I'm just giving it to you, just take it, you're welcome."
After that, he got up and walked towards the large bathtub piled in the corner, and slapped it hard.
"I use this."
Mu Zixi:? ? ?
She looked startled, "That's not what Master used..."
"He's gone!"
Xu Xiaoshou said matter-of-factly: "Everyone has left. Should the bathtub be left here to gather dust? I just help him clean it regularly."
"Remember, our masters are all so clean-loving people."
Mu Zixi's face turned pale.
She looked at the small bathtub that was one size smaller in front of her.
It turns out that Xu Xiaoshou's sudden generosity was because of this?
With tears...
It doesn't matter!
"Cursed, passive value, +1, +1, +1, +1..."
…
Duang~
Xu Xiaoshou slammed the big bathtub into the guest room of his funeral home.
On the open-air roof, a large amount of sunlight pours down instantly.
After leaving Lingzang Pavilion, he and his junior sister parted ways and went back to their respective homes.
At this moment, Xu Xiaoshou was staring at the bathtub in front of him, the more he looked at it, the more he fell in love with it.
He has been coveting this thing for a long time.
He still remembered that when he went to Lingzang Pavilion for the first time, he asked Mr. Sang about the quality of the alchemy cauldron.
The answer given by the other party is that some swords do not need to be measured by level, and the same is true for some alchemy cauldrons.
"Is it similar to the famous sword among swords and the elixir of cauldrons?"
Xu Xiaoshou was so happy that he wanted to light a fire and refine a Yuanting explosive for him first.
at this time.
"Whizzing!"
Two pieces of clothing fell in the courtyard.
Xu Xiaoshou immediately put the alchemy cauldron into Yuan Mansion on alert, and then looked at it intently.
After all, to him, the spiritual address is equivalent to that of a killer.
But when he really saw the face of the person coming, Xu Xiaoshou was surprised.
"Dean?"
"Elder Qiao?"
The visitors were Ye Xiaotian, who was floating in the void, and Elder Qiao, who was standing on the ground.
Well, the same height.
"Hip, hip, hip, hip -"
Qiao Qianzhi laughed and walked over, "Xiao Shou, I heard that you got eighteen spots in the White Cave at the City Lord's Mansion dinner?"
Xu Xiaoshou immediately bowed his head humbly.
"Where there."
"They're all sold out and divided. There are only two places left."
Sold out…
The smile of the housewarming froze.
Ye Xiaotian's face turned dark immediately.
He immediately resurfaced the scene of Xu Xiaoshou coming out of Tianxuan Sect, in front of him, exploring the treasure of the world, and taking back the "Sealing Ring".
This inconspicuous guy, does he still think that the two of us came to him for the quota in the White Cave?
"Cursed, passive value, +2."
"You think too much."
Ye Xiaotian said: "We didn't come to you for this."
Xu Xiaoshou was startled.
"no?"
"What's that for?"
bother you for something.
Xu Xiaoshou vaguely felt that perhaps the hidden trouble Mr. Sang had brought to him had not yet appeared, but the two people in front of him would definitely trouble him.
"I don't need a reward."
He immediately refused verbally.
Ye Xiaotian's breath was stagnant, he clenched his fist, and then released it.
"Cursed, passive value, +2."
"No reward."
As he spoke, he pulled out a letter, "This is the letter Mr. Sang left for you. I didn't expect you to come back by such a coincidence. I just finished writing it..."
"Ahem!"
"Well, take a look."
Ye Xiaotian's face was expressionless and calm, and he handed it over calmly.
Xu Xiaoshou looked suspicious.
letter?
Didn’t I just read an email from Lingzang Pavilion?
Is it possible that it is still fake?
Or...
He took the envelope.
"Open now?"
"Um."
Ye Xiaotian's eyes showed no trace of expectation.
Looking up at the sky when moving to a new house.
Xu Xiaoshou tore open the envelope and opened the letter paper.
"Take it easy?"
He raised his head and looked at the two of them: "What do you mean?"
Ye Xiaotian said indifferently: "I don't know what it means. After all, I haven't seen it."
"Take it easy? Does it say 'take it easy'?"
"That might be something like 'Don't be too outrageous', 'Be careful with your actions', 'You must leave three points in everything'..."
"Ahem."
The housewarming coughed again.
Ye Xiaotian's face stiffened, he turned around, put his hands behind his hands, and continued: "Something like that."
"You...think about it for yourself. After all, it is the letter that Old Man Sang left for you, which means that he values you very much. Maybe you can understand something."
Xu Xiao was slapped and his mouth was smacking.
These two goods are too...
Are they too busy to do anything?
As for using such despicable means to forge?
If you have something to say, you can just say it directly. I'm making insinuations overtly and covertly. Do you really think that I, Xu Xiaoshou, don't know what you really think?
You know, Tianxuanmen was just an accident!
"I understand."
Xu Xiaoshou nodded in confusion, "So..."
He didn't understand why the two people who finished the letter didn't leave.
"Ahem."
Touching throat during housewarming.
Ye Xiaotian just paused and said:
"By the way, I have a task assigned to you."
"You should have reserved a spot for yourself in Baiku, so I took the initiative and gave the spot that originally belonged to you to Tan Ji."
"As compensation, now that you are back, you can become the second leader of the two teams of Tiansang Linggong going to Baiku."
"When you go to Baiku, just ask Tan Ji for the command."
"Everything in Baiku is up to you."
Ye Xiaotian did not give anyone a chance to interrupt, and immediately closed his mouth as soon as he finished speaking.
Xu Xiaoshou: ???
Everything is up to me?
So assured?
Who was this series of innuendos for?
Ye Xiaotian looked at him and said firmly: "Of course, as a team leader, you have to bear the responsibilities that you should have. At least if there is an accident, you have to pay attention to the lives of the team members."
It must be said that the dean's words were too beautiful.
Even Xu Xiaoshou, subconsciously, could not immediately realize that this was a rhetoric of binding responsibilities, and foolishly thought that being a team leader would be a good job.
But in line with the principle of less trouble is worse than more trouble, Xu Xiaoshou, who was lazy by nature, still refused.
"That's not possible."
"There should be 33 people from Linggong fighting Baiku?"
"How can I be the leader..."
Ye Xiaotian sneered and interrupted him: "Am I discussing with you? This is an order!"
"Uh."
Xu Xiaoshou was shocked by the dean's domineering aura.
After the white-haired Taoist child finished speaking, he turned his head and left in an instant.
"So emotional?"
"I didn't notice it before..."
"Why did the dean change?"
Xu Xiaoshou looked at Qiao Qianzhi with a confused face.
"So, Elder Qiao is here to play the good guy?"
He and Qiao Qianzhi have a good relationship, and when there are no outsiders, there are not so many rules.
Qiao Qianzhi rolled his eyes.
"What's the good and the bad? The dean gave you this leader because he values you. Just take over."
"Pay attention. Don't mess around when you enter the cave."
"Follow Rao Yinyin. She is the leader of the team. If you don't understand something, just ask her."
"Then, pay attention to Tan Ji. This guy..."
Xu Xiaoshou's scalp immediately went numb.
Elder Qiao is good at everything except his mouth. Once he starts talking, most people in the outer courtyard will have a headache.
He can't stand it.
I interrupted immediately: "Elder Qiao, I have something to ask you."
"What is it?"
Qiao Qianzhi's attention was immediately diverted.
"It's..."
Xu Xiaoshou hesitated for a moment, thinking that Yuanfu was taken from Elder Qiao, so he didn't show any shyness.
He disappeared directly, and when he appeared the next second, he had an iron ball with two red lights in his hand.
"Mom..."
This sound came out.
Qiao Qian stepped back half a step subconsciously, and his face instantly became solemn.
"I know him!"
Xu Xiaoshou thought there was something going on.
He had never noticed these little details before.
After realizing that Ah Jie was not simple, Qiao Qianzhi's micro-movements were so refreshing.
"What's your question?"
Qiao Qianzhi asked immediately when he saw that Xu Xiaoshou was still silent.
"Heavenly Secret Technique?"
Xu Xiaoshou did not keep him in suspense, but got straight to the point.
He knew that if he didn't reveal something, Elder Qiao would probably go around in circles even more.
Sure enough, Qiao Qianzhi's face changed when he heard these three words.
"How can you recognize the 'Heavenly Secret Technique'?"
Obviously, this guy knew nothing about the way of spiritual arrays before he left the Spirit Palace.
Even how to open the Yuanfu Spirit Array had to be taught by himself.
After not seeing each other for half a month, he even has the word "Heavenly Secret Technique"?
"Elder Qiao, don't worry about how I know."
"Anyway, Ah Jie is in my hands, I must know some of its stories. It seems that it is not good for you to hide it from me like this?"
Qiao Qianzhi was silent for a while.
He didn't understand how much Xu Xiaoshou knew.
But looking at this guy, he seemed to know a lot?
It has only been a short time since he came out of Tianxuanmen...
"Is Xu Xiaoshou's growth rate so fast?" Qiao Qianzhi was secretly surprised.
"Are you close to it?" he asked.
"Yeah." Xu Xiaoshou nodded.
"Ah Jie..."
Qiao Qianzhi hesitated.
Indeed, the reason why he suggested Ye Xiaotian not to take back Ah Jie at that time was that he saw that Ah Jie would be close to humans.
But, the development of the relationship between the two is too fast, isn't it?
At present, I don't even feel that Ah Jie has any fighting spirit?
Is this guy tamed?
It's impossible!
"Alas."
Finally, he sighed and said, "Ajie, it is a Heavenly Secret Puppet from the Holy Temple."
"Holy Temple?"
Xu Xiaoshou's heart trembled. This coincided with his thoughts.
He suddenly thought of a person.
"Dao Qiongcang?"
Qiao Qianzhi's face changed drastically in an instant, and he covered his mouth with his hand.
"Shut up!"
Xu Xiaoshou: ? ? ?
What's going on?
Qiao Qianzhi looked around nervously, squinted his eyes and pinched the spiritual formula. After confirming that there was nothing unusual around him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you looking for death? You can call a semi-saint by his name?" He scolded.
Half-saint...
Xu Xiaoshou's heart suddenly calmed down.
So the legendary current master of the Holy Spirit Temple is the kind of half-saint who has surpassed Taixu and touched the power of the Holy Dao?
He knew that in the world, the highest level of cultivation is called "Holy Emperor".
However, "Holy Emperor", this almost miraculous existence, has been extinct in the world for many years.
Half-saint is the only one close to this realm.
However, for most people.
Taixu is already the strongest fighting force in the human world.
Even the legendary "Seven Sword Immortals" are in this realm.
It seems that there is no possibility of transcendence.
As for the half-saint...
As for Dao Qiongcang...
This realm that is impossible to reach in cultivation, and the existence that cannot even be called by name, was directly spoken out from Qiao Qianzhi in a panic.
Xu Xiaoshou knew that Elder Qiao definitely knew something.
Everyone on the continent was confused about the realm of the current master of the Holy Temple. Why could he be so sure that he was a half-saint?
Qiao Qianzhi looked at Xu Xiaoshou with a flickering look in his eyes, knowing that with this guy's cunningness, he must have guessed something.
He didn't intend to hide it, so he just opened his heart and revealed a bigger melon.
"You're right."
"The ring was indeed made by the Taoist master, but it's a defective product!"
