Chapter 105 Showdown in Advance and Show Your Fangs

Although Zhou You noticed that Xiao Yueying's cultivation had reached the late stage of foundation building, there was nothing unusual on the surface.

Regardless of whether he pretends not to know or not, the late stage of foundation building does not pose much of a threat to him now.

The expression on his face was like that.

"I wonder what the lady wants from me?"

Zhou You bowed his hand, his attitude still warm.

Although he guessed that Xiao Yueying might be plotting to gain his own elixir root, there was no evidence after all.

Before everything comes to an end, Xiao Yueying is still the eldest lady of the Xiao family.

Zhou You would not disrespect Xiao Yueying because of his suspicion.

Xiao Yueying looked at Zhou You who was neither humble nor arrogant, and felt a little dazed for a moment.

Today, Zhou You has a tall and straight posture, a beautiful face, and steady eyes. He is more calm when facing her.

For a moment, Xiao Yueying felt that the person in front of her was not the servant of the Xiao family, but a junior fellow student from the same sect.

Xiao Yueying came back to her senses, her eyebrows were raised, and she was quite unhappy with Zhou You's attitude.

However, she didn't show it too much. She pointed to the futon and said, "Sit down."

"good."

Zhou You nodded and sat on the futon generously.

Xiao Yueying glanced around and then said: "Do you know what happened in Lincheng recently?"

Zhou You shook his head and said that he had been cultivating during this period and had never paid attention to external affairs.

Xiao Yueying did not doubt it, but said with a hint of appreciation: "Yes, we are about to enter the fourth level of Qi training. This is the middle and second part of "The Art of Opening the Pulse". If you don't have it, you may not be able to enter the fourth level of Qi training." .”

Two jade slips came out of Xiao Yueying's palm and handed them to Zhou You.

Zhou You took the two jade slips and said "thank you". His behavior was normal and Xiao Yueying didn't think anything of it.

Moreover, Xiao Yueying had something to do for Zhou You, and her thoughts today were not on Zhou You's reaction.

Xiao Yueying said: "There are two main reasons why I called you here."

Zhou You said: "Miss, please tell me."

Xiao Yueying thought for a while and then said: "Lincheng has been turbulent recently, the situation in Taibai Academy is not optimistic, and some forces have emerged in Nanzhou to fight against the Daqi Dynasty. It is not difficult to guess that there must be a connection between the two."

"Lincheng has become a place of right and wrong now. Once the Luoshui Gate is opened, the demon tribe will invade in large numbers, and the entire South Continent will be in danger. The fight for the inheritance of Taibai Sword Immortal is the key. I cannot leave Lincheng, and I cannot leave."

After a pause, Xiao Yueying looked at Zhou You: "I must obtain the inheritance of Taibai Sword Immortal and guard Luoshui Pass. This matter is related to the safety of the entire Daqi Dynasty. People from the Righteous Alliance are staring at me. I can only Stay in Taibai Academy and wait for the inheritance of Taibai Sword Immortal to appear."

Zhou You listened silently, still not sure what Xiao Yueying wanted to do.

But soon, Xiao Yueying said: "First, take this jade slip, return to Nanzhou, and hand it over to the master of the family. Second, the master of the family will undo your slave status."

Hearing this, Zhou You was stunned for a moment.

Take the initiative to free yourself from slavery?

To be honest, Zhou You was a little surprised.

Zhou You hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Miss, with my strength... I'm afraid it's not realistic to pass through the encirclement of the Righteous Alliance, right?"

Today Taibai Academy can be said to be isolated and helpless.

Surrounded by the Zhengqi Alliance, Wu Family, and Yulin Villa.

If you want to leave this place, you can only go to the territory of Ye Family and Taixuan Sect in the east.

But the most important thing is that turmoil has also occurred in Nanzhou. Tiannan Valley blocks the main route to Nanzhou, causing Nanzhou to lose contact with Lincheng.

If you want to return to Nanzhou, you must pass through the area controlled by Tiannan Valley. It's okay not to be discovered, but once you are discovered, you must have a road guide.

Otherwise, the end will be tragic.

At this moment, Xiao Yueying seemed to have anticipated Zhou You's worries, so she said: "Take this thing, it can hide the aura on your body, and your cultivation will not be visible below the pill formation. In this way, you can go to the south as a mortal." Continent, no matter how crazy the Righteous Alliance is, they will never take action against mortals."

"Mortal? However, if you return to Nanzhou as a mortal, it will take at least half a year..."

Zhou You said.

Xiao Yueying said: "It doesn't matter."

After hearing Xiao Yueying's words, Zhou You didn't say anything more. He put away the jade slips and jade pendants, saying that he would go back to clean up, and left Xiao Yueying's small courtyard.

It wasn't until Zhou You left that Xiao Yueying's eyes gradually became dull.

"how?"

Suddenly, Xiao Yueying spoke.

But there is no one else in this room.

The next moment, a blue light bloomed on Xiao Yueying's body.

A slim blue figure emerged following the blue light and stood in front of Xiao Yueying.

This figure is translucent, emitting blue light, has long hair, and a curvy figure. She is an extremely coquettish-looking woman.

If he traveled around this place, he would definitely find that this blue figure was similar to the ancestor soul he had come into contact with before, exuding the same aura.

"This little guy has hidden his cultivation."

Lan Ying's tone was playful, and his voice was soft and charming.

Xiao Yueying frowned: "Hidden his cultivation level? What is his current cultivation level?"

Lan Ying smiled dumbly: "There are countless mysterious methods in the world, how can I see through them all?"

Xiao Yueying thought for a while and then said: "In seven years, even if he has a high-grade spiritual root, it is impossible for him to have deep cultivation, let alone a low-grade spiritual root. There should be some opportunities in these few years."

After a pause, Xiao Yueying said again: "Is the method you mentioned really effective?"

Lan Ying chuckled: "Little sister, you still don't want to believe me? Don't worry, as long as you can absorb his elixir root bone, it will be beneficial to the elixir formation. If you can endure your loneliness, you can build elixirs." If you use him again at Ji Dingfeng, you will definitely be able to form an elixir with your qualifications."

Xiao Yueying ignored Lan Ying's teasing and only asked: "In other words, if I use him now, my cultivation will be promoted to the peak of foundation building. In the future, the chance of forming a pill will increase by 30%. If I continue to wait, I will be able to reach the peak of foundation building." If you use it again, you will be able to form an elixir?"

"good."

The blue shadow floated next to Xiao Yueying, circled around her, and responded with a smile.

Xiao Yueying took a deep breath: "I can't wait any longer. With my qualifications, it will take ten years to advance to the peak of foundation building. By then, there will be no time to attack the core formation."

Lan Ying said: "So, that means you are going to use him now?"

Xiao Yueying nodded: "Well, it's not appropriate here. It is said that Zhang Lei gave him a life-saving jade slip, which is a bit troublesome. I will take action after he leaves Taibai Academy."

Lan Ying looked disdainfully: "At the right moment, as long as you let me out, I will use the charm technique, and even those under the pill formation will have to bow down. With the little guy's cultivation, he will definitely not be able to stop me. Why don't I cast my spell on you?" A hug? Furthermore, as your eldest lady, if you hook your fingers at him, won’t he obediently crawl into your bed?”

Xiao Yueying glanced at Lan Ying and said nothing. Instead, she closed her eyes and started practicing.

Lan Ying continued: "I know that you are the eldest lady. If you leave that little guy in the room for too long, your reputation will be bad. But if you can get a glimpse of the avenue of immortality, what is the importance of your reputation? If If you care about that, you will still be nothing more than a red and pink skull after thousands of years."

Xiao Yueying said calmly: "You don't care about everything, why don't you become a pink skeleton and live for thousands of years?"

"..."

Lan Ying paused for a moment, threw himself on Xiao Yueying, and hooked Xiao Yueying's snow-white neck: "Little sister, if you say this, it will hurt my sister's heart too much. I think this is for your sake."

However, Xiao Yueying ignored her and started practicing on her own.

Lan Ying knew that Xiao Yueying was arrogant and didn't want people to know many things, otherwise things wouldn't be that troublesome at all.

When he first came to the city, the head of the Xiao family had thought of sending a few Danjie elders to secretly protect Xiao Yueying, and at the same time asking Xiao Yueying to bring along a few foundation-building retainers.

But Xiao Yueying wanted to experience it on her own, so she rejected the proposal of the head of the Xiao family and only brought some servants to deal with daily needs.

It was precisely because of this that Xiao Yueying wanted to lure Zhou You out of Taibai Academy, and then take action outside to wipe everything clean.

It can be said that they want to be something and establish something.

At this time, Lan Ying asked again: "Little sister, this little guy has hidden his cultivation and is obviously wary of you. How can you still trust him so much?"

Xiao Yueying did not open her eyes, but simply said: "I have a sense of discretion."

…

at the same time.

After Zhou You left the courtyard, he invited Xiao Qing to have a meal.

Zhou You knew that once he left, he and Xiao Qing would never see each other again in this life.

As smart as traveling around, he had already noticed something was wrong with Xiao Yueying.

This trip to Nanzhou is definitely not normal.

Therefore, he had no intention of going to Nanzhou at all, but decided to go back and pack his things, then go all the way east, escape into the sphere of influence of Taixuan Sect and Ye family, and find a place to build a foundation here.

After building the foundation, his strength increased dramatically, and he had a certain ability to protect himself by then, so he could choose an opportunity to leave Lincheng.

As for what Xiao Yueying said about being released from slavery, it had no appeal to Zhou You.

Zhou You is now only one step away from building the foundation.

You only need to practice quietly for half a month before you can enter the foundation building stage. The soul marks on your body will automatically disappear, and your slave status will naturally cease to exist.

…

After inviting Xiao Qing to dinner, Zhou You also expressed tactfully that Xiao Yueying wanted him to return to Nanzhou. Xiao Qing was naturally a little reluctant to give up, but he was unable to change it.

Zhouyou returned to the cabin and began to pack his things.

I still feel a bit reluctant to leave this place where I have lived for seven years after traveling around.

However, Zhou You also knew that he would have to leave this place sooner or later, so he didn't feel too melancholy.

Among the things here, the most troublesome ones are probably the elixirs.

A lot of elixirs have been planted around the world, and the years are also several decades old. The first batch planted is more than a hundred years old, and can be used to refine the elixirs of the foundation-building period.

It took Zhou You an afternoon to put all the elixirs in jade boxes.

The special jade box can preserve the vitality and spiritual power of the elixir to the greatest extent. After traveling around and finding the cave, all these elixirs can be planted.

After doing this, Zhou You had nothing to deal with, so he took out all the spiritual fish in Yuhu, and then went to Neiji to find a place to sell them.

Although the value of these spiritual fish is not very high, you can still earn some money.

After doing this, Zhou You returned to the wooden house, and after thinking about it, he left a jade slip under the water tank in the wooden house.

In the past, when Baichiyu came over and didn't see Zhou You, he would place jade slips under the water tank.

In the past two years, Baichi Fish has come only a handful of times, and the last time it came here was nine months ago.

However, every time she comes here, she brings a lot of monster meat to Zhou You.

It was as if she knew that Zhou You needed monster meat.

Bai Chiyu helped Zhou You a lot. Since Zhou You was leaving, of course he would leave a jade slip to tell her about his departure.

There is no information on the jade slip, only one sentence.

"I'm leaving. See you soon."

After leaving the jade slip, Zhou You returned to the wooden house, raised his hand and patted the storage bag, and a corpse refining in the early stage of foundation building appeared next to him.

Afterwards, Zhou You took out the jade slip and two jade pendants that Xiao Yueying gave him.

One of these two jade pendants was initially used to enter Taibai Academy to listen to public sermons. Zhou You was certain that wearing this jade pendant would allow Xiao Yueying to track his whereabouts.

The other jade pendant was given to him by Xiao Yueying today, saying it could hide his cultivation.

Zhou You thought about it for a while, then scanned the jade pendant and jade slip with his consciousness, and soon found a clue.

The first jade pendant only had a positioning function, and the jade slip had a layer of restrictions, so it was impossible to know the information inside. However, the jade pendant obtained today has a weak connection with his soul seal.

Zhou You's eyes flashed slightly and he began to study carefully.

"What an insidious method!"

After a moment, Zhou You suddenly realized: "There is a mark inside this jade pendant. The mark not only has the function of tracking and positioning, but is also connected to my soul mark. It is probably left behind when I first entered the Xiao Mansion. Once I leave the ten feet of the jade pendant, Xiao Yueying will know this information."

Zhou You secretly analyzed: "This place is only seventy or eighty miles away from Xiao Yueying's small courtyard. If she finds out that the jade pendant is separated from me, she will be able to arrive quickly. With her powerful spiritual consciousness, if I only have the Qi training period, It’s absolutely impossible to run away.”

He couldn't help but look at the refined corpse.

He had this idea from the beginning. He put the jade pendant on the body of the corpse and left today. He escaped from Taixuan Sect so far away that Xiao Yueying would not be able to find him.

The corpse refining meeting will head towards Nanzhou tomorrow.

By the time Xiao Yueying found out, Zhou You had already reached the sphere of influence of Taixuan Sect, and it was impossible to find him after escaping into the vast mountains and rivers.

Although Zhou You is not afraid of Xiao Yueying, for the sake of safety, it is better to avoid Xiao Yueying.

Who knows what she really thinks about herself.

But now it seems unlikely.

If you put the jade pendant on the body of the refining corpse, Xiao Yueying will notice it. If you take it with you and leave this place, it will also alarm Xiao Yueying.

It seemed that Xiao Yueying was also wary of him traveling around, fearing that he would run away early.

So I made such preparations.

If the wandering consciousness hadn't reached the foundation building stage, I might not have been able to discover this.

Zhou You thought for a while and tried to wrap the mark with mana, but he couldn't isolate the mark.

He tried many methods, and finally found that the gray strange air could stabilize the mark.

It's not that the strange energy is so powerful, but because the strange energy is attached to the wandering soul all year round, carrying the aura of the traveling soul, and the soul mark is in the soul.

In this way, the foreign air wraps the mark, and even if you travel far away from the jade pendant, the divine soul breath in the foreign air can stabilize the mark, making Xiao Yueying unable to detect any abnormalities in the mark.

"alright."

Zhou You wrapped the jade pendant with foreign energy and hung it on the refined corpse. The first jade pendant and jade slip were all placed on the refined corpse. Then he turned around and turned into a rainbow and left the place.
