Chapter 599: Tempering the Heart in the World of Mortals

They gained tons of fun from this Xiao Chou.

As the national master of Leguo, of course he will not let go of such fun.

…………

On the outskirts of Yongle City, Xu Hei cut firewood and bamboo and built a small house as his residence this year. Then, a wooden fence was built around the hut to form a small courtyard.

The small courtyard is not big, with an area of ​​ten feet square. There are three words written on the door: Qingzhu Residence.

Qingzhuju is where Xu Hei makes wooden puppets.

Qingzhu Residence is located next to the official road. Passers-by and business travelers pass by every day. Xu Hei will also set up tea in the yard for people to drink.

A little hidden in the forest, a big hidden in the city, Xu Hei will not really settle in the mountains, he will still be in contact with people.

At this moment, Xu Hei's yard is filled with various wood carvings, including snakes, lizards, spiders, cows, horses, pigs and sheep, various domestic animals, and wild animals.

Most of them are puppets that can move, like living creatures.

Xu Hei was sitting on a chair, holding a semi-finished wood carving of a dog in one hand and a carving knife in the other.

"Click!"

There was just a crisp sound and the dog's head fell to the ground.

"Another one wasted."

Xu Hei sighed and put down the dog wood carving in his hand.

This is already the tenth wood sculpture he has carved in a month. The original shape of this wood sculpture is naturally black and yellow.

However, no matter what, Xu Hei could not successfully reproduce the original appearance of black and yellow, and could only have a semi-finished product at most. As long as Xu Hei tries to burn in the charm, this wood carving will be scrapped immediately.

He shook his head and could only take out another piece of wood, intending to carve it into gold.

"Boom! Boom!"

There was a knock on the door of the courtyard, and a young man with slightly dark skin and a simple and honest appearance stood in front of the door.

"Please come in." Xu Hei didn't even raise his head.

Xiao Chou walked into the courtyard, sat down at the table, took a sip from his tea cup.

This is his second time here, so he is familiar with the road.

He looked at the waste wood carvings all over the place and said, "Boss, did you fail again this time?"

"Yeah." Xu Hei nodded, "I'm still not good at studying."

"Haha, the boss is so humble! Even those high-ranking immortals will never be able to make such perfect works of yours as long as they don't use magic!"

Xiao Chou did not hesitate to praise him. This was his truth. Otherwise, he would not have given the wood carving to the imperial master.

Xu Hei just smiled and did not respond.

Looking at the outline of the elephant appearing in Xu Hei's hand, Xiao Chou asked curiously: "Boss, have you really seen so many beasts?"

"I once hunted in the mountains." Xu Hei said.

"That's it." Xiao Chou nodded.

He looked at Xu Hei and thought that such a master, if he could become an immortal, must be a genius at puppetry. Unfortunately, not everyone can cultivate immortality.

Those who have spiritual roots are only one in a hundred, and those who practice Qi are only one in a thousand.

From now on, there will be even fewer foundation-building pill-forming Nascent Souls.

He still suffered a wave of benefits from the demon lord, the death of a super god-forming monk, and the return of his spiritual energy, so that he could make a lucky breakthrough. In the past, he might not have had the chance to reach this point in his life.

Talent is important, but opportunity is even more critical.

Xiao Chou didn't stay long, he put down a peace charm, bought a wild boar wood carving from Xu Hei and left.

…………

It took Xu Hei three days to carve the golden appearance before it was completed. Although it is only as big as a fist, the complexity of the details is no less than that of a formation.

When Manjin's eyes were clicked, he seemed to come to life. Xu Hei stared into his eyes and could feel the wild atmosphere in them.

"Brother Manjin, long time no see." Xu Hei said to himself.

The old friend can no longer respond.

Xu Hei took out a new piece of wood and began to carve the purple lightning lion king, Raymond.

Qingzhu Residence is often visited by guests, mainly business travelers and passers-by, all of whom are ordinary people.

Xiao Chou has never appeared again since he left last time. This also resulted in no more monks arriving.

Time flies, spring passes and autumn comes.

Xu Hei has more and more wood carvings. From the wild boar and octopus he ate for the first time, to Ergou, Manjin, and Raymond... the monsters he has seen can basically be found in their original forms among the wood carvings. .

The monsters with a lower realm than Xu Hei have already been carved, and now he starts to carve the ones of the same level.

After a short time, the outline of a slender snake appeared in his hand. The snake's scales showed a wavy pattern, its head was oval, and its body was as slender as a whip. It was a sea snake.

In the eyes of this snake, there is a kind of unruly temperament that is fighting against the sky. This is Haiteng.

Xu Hei was envious of the hot-blooded young man, because he didn't have it and didn't dare to have it.

From the moment he left the house, he was already in danger, and any youthful spirit might get him killed.

"Haiteng, Nine-Headed Insect, Xiong Dabao, I don't know what happened to you." Xu Guangming said.

Once upon a time, he didn't care about the life and death of this group of people, but now, he actually misses them.

At this time, the figure of a white snake appeared in his mind. She was on the sea, looking at him from a distance. The ship was getting farther and farther away, and two lines of tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

Xu Hei suddenly raised his head and looked towards the horizon, but there was nothing.

Xu Hei suddenly felt empty and lost.

After a long time, he sighed.

"This is it, a mortal?"

…………

On the border of Le Kingdom, at the top of a big mountain.

Xiao Qiuku was sitting here, holding a piece of wood carving in his hand, with a sad face.

This year, he searched all the woodcarving shops in Le Country, and even went to the surrounding countries, looking for every woodcarving master, but still no one could compare to Xu Hei.

He wanted to buy all of Xu Hei's works, but the other party refused. He was already very kind to give him one or two.

But the national teacher only liked Xu Hei's works.

Could it be that he was asked to steal or rob? He couldn't do such a thing. If it was an ordinary mortal, it would be fine, but he couldn't do it to such a master who looked like an old friend.

"Forget it! A real man, why worry about not having a wife?"

"I am a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. What kind of woman can't I find? There is no need to hang myself on a tree."

"If I go to find her again, I will be a grandson!"

Xiao Chou muttered to himself, as if he was swearing a poisonous oath, his eyes were firm, and the light of faith burst out.

He looked back and looked deeply in the direction of Changle City, and jumped, about to leave Le Country.

But at this moment, his waist suddenly shook, and Xiao Chou quickly took out a communication order, on which there was a message from the Le State Master.

"Are you there?"

The content was only one word.

Xiao Chou's whole body trembled violently, and his hands were about to become unstable. He quickly entered the spiritual information and said, "I'm always here, I'll be there right away. If you have any instructions, I'll be there right away..."

After saying that, he immediately turned around and rushed towards the direction of Changle City.
