Chapter 34: A Visit to the Kim Family
Shi Xiao took Lin'er to walk around the sect for a brief walk and came to the house where he used to live......
"This is the house I used to live in, how about the environment!" Shi Xiao said proudly. My own room can be regarded as relatively exquisite, divided into front, middle and back. The front hall is where Shi Xiao usually cultivates, the small courtyard in the middle is where Shi Xiao used to exercise, and the back hut is where Shi Xiao rests.
Entering the door, the familiar smell of wood greeted him, and Shi Xiao looked at the placement of the various utensils in this hall as before, but without a trace of dust, and the futon mat was still placed in a familiar place. Walking towards the backyard, a green pine tree came into view, this is the green pine that Shi Xiao planted a few years ago, and now it is as high as a wall.
Shi Xiao touched a stone lying under the green pine, and took the stone to connect it tightly to the ground in a square shape. Shi Xiao lifted the stone, feeling that the stone was not as heavy as before, and the unknown insect under the stone quickly fled around as the stone left.
"Brother Xiao, what kind of stone is this?" asked Lin'er curiously. She followed Shi Xiao to be familiar with everything in this Domain Gate Mountain Sect, because she was going to cultivate in this sect in the next five years, and she had to be familiar with the environment here.
"It used to be used to exercise my arm strength, but it felt very heavy at the time, but now it is so light. Shi Xiao put down the stone and led Lin'er to the room where he was resting, the quilt was still neatly placed on the bed and spotless, and the strange-shaped small stones on the table on the side were still placed in the same position as before. In the past, Shi Xiao and Shi Lan often went to find some strange-shaped stones, and then gave their master an evaluation to see whose stones were more beautiful...
"From now on, you will live here, and I will live in the hall in front. Shi Xiao said.
"Hmm!"
"Let's go, let's see if Master and they have discussed, let's have a meal together in the evening..."Shi Xiao touched Lin'er's head and said. Then he walked towards the door, and at this time, the door was already full of cultivators looking at Shi Xiao who came out and whispering below.
"Shi Xiao?" a female voice came from the side of the crowd.
"Huh?" Shi Xiao looked at the source of the voice, a familiar face, but this face was a little haggard.
"Long time no see, Sister Ran!" Shi Xiao greeted.
The crowd exploded all at once, and all kinds of voices were chattering, all talking about the young man in front of them......
"Hmm... I didn't expect you—" the woman stammered.
"I didn't die, I was really sorry for you back then..."Shi Xiao said.
"I know all about that... I'm sorry," the woman said guiltily. The woman looked at the empty sleeve on Shi Xiao's left, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty in her heart, if it weren't for her own words, Shi Xiao wouldn't have been...
"It's okay, it's all gone, I'm back!" Shi Xiao released his aura to suppress the air around him. In an instant, everyone felt very uncomfortable being pressed by an invisible force, and they all fell silent.
"Let's go..."Shi Xiao said to Lin'er. Then the crowd moved out of the way and let Shi Xiao and Lin'er walk out, staring at Shi Xiao's back, the corners of the woman's eyes moistened.
......
"Xiyun Empire, don't deceive people too much...... a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses said angrily.
"What's the matter!?" said a big, wildly dressed man.
"This meeting we are discussing the matter of the blood clan, please refrain from the ...... of the representatives of your five major powers" The heavy voice instantly quieted everyone in the originally noisy venue.
"I didn't expect things to turn out like this..."Shi Lan muttered quietly from the side.
"What's the matter, I went to the toilet just now, didn't I discuss a pause, why do you look angry?" the second elder walked over to Shi Lan and sat down and asked.
"The discussion of the blood clan just now was indeed suspended, but the representatives of the five major powers quarreled..."Shi Lan explained.
Originally, the western Xiyun Empire borrowed a piece of land in the northwest from the southern Sparrow Spirit Empire to develop and plant, otherwise the food supply of the Xiyun Empire has been controlled by the Southern Empire, and if the Southern Sparrow Spirit Empire turns around one day, there will be no food supply in their own country.
But it was vetoed by the representative of the southern Sparrow Spirit Empire, and the western Xiyun Empire obviously wanted to occupy that piece of land for himself, so for the sake of his own territory, the representative of the Southern Sparrow Spirit Empire did not give any face to the representative of the Western Sparrow Empire at all, and even the representative of the Xiyun Empire plus the condition of uniting with each other was refused, and then the representative of the Xiyun Empire started a war against the Southern Empire with the restlessness in the southeast of his country, so the two imperial representatives quarreled during this short intermission.
"It's ridiculous...," the Second Elder said.
The national conditions of each country and each country are different, if it is really to use the place of the Southern Empire to grow things, it will not be discussed in such a small scene, this is related to the issue of the territory of the empire, and it must be discussed by the emperors of the two empires. No one who can see this little bit of the Xiyun Empire can see it, and they are all fools as representatives of other empires.
"Representative of the Sunset Cloud Empire, I will definitely convey what you mean!" Hmph!!" Then the representative of the Sparrow Spirit Empire turned around and left.
"Please think about it carefully!! the strong man then got up and left.
Everyone present was insulting the Xiyun Empire in their hearts, and this practice was clearly robbing. But everyone was silent, and they all knew that the Xiyun Empire couldn't afford to provoke it. In addition to the strong business and army, although the other empires are the bottom of the five empires, no empire dares to provoke this Xiyun Empire, the army is too strong, one is the claw clan, the other is the Huangyun Legion, they are all terrifying existences.
"That's the end of today's discussion, let's continue tomorrow!" the deep voice sounded again, relieving the awkward situation, and then everyone got up and left.
......
The night when Shi Xiao returned to the sect was very lively, and he had dinner with several elders, and after a while of greetings, Shi Xiao told about how he was rescued by Lin'er and the old man three years ago, although Shi Xiao added a lot of scenes and plots that were not originally there, but everyone didn't know whether it was true or false, anyway, they all listened to it. After Shi Xiao finished speaking, some elders even wiped the corners of their eyes.
......
"Yuanyuan! I feel so happy now!" Shi Xiao said, lying on the rubble of his hall and looking at the night sky.
"Stinky boy, enjoy this short time, the next few days are still long!" said Yuanyuan.
"Definitely, do you think I look like a lazy person!" Shi Xiao smiled.
"Hmph, seeing that you have grown so rapidly under my education, I will praise you today!" Yuan Yuan said.
"Who wants you to boast..."
"What about the Jin family?" Yuan Yuan asked suddenly.
"Do you think with my current strength I can fight against such a big family?"
"Wait a little longer, when your state is at its peak, you will take revenge..."Yuan Yuan said flatly.
"What do you mean?"
"You can store a lot of aura with that cultivation method, and when it's full, you will take revenge!" Yuan Yuan explained. Yuanyuan's heart is also very empty, he doesn't know what strength this Jin family has, if he rushes there, he will definitely suffer a big loss.
"I know..."Shi Xiao then got up and jumped to the ground, walked to the hall and sat on the futon to absorb the aura.
Shi Xiao also wanted to take revenge as soon as possible, because the most important thing next was to go to the continent that Yuanyuan said to improve his strength to avenge the revenge of the blood clan, but now the most important thing is to get rid of the Jin family from Luoyang City.
Before killing Saishu last time, he told the person named Ya that he wanted to find the head of the Jin family for something, and it seems that the Jin family still has something to do with the blood clan. Shi Xiao had already kept this matter in mind, as long as it was about the blood clan, it was a big thing for Shi Xiao.
After a night of silence, Shi Xiao went to the peak of the sect early in the morning to refine the pill, and Shi Xiao had no foundation in the next big war, if he was not fully prepared, he was afraid that the pill would run out of food by then. At the same time, under last night's cultivation situation, Shi Xiao felt that the spiritual power of the Dao Sect was very strong, and this situation could not even be explained.
In the next few days, in addition to the place where Shi Xiao sent Lin'er to cultivate during the day, he talked about this and that with Shi Lan, and then learned from Master about some things about the Yu Blood Clan. At night, he stayed in the house to cultivate, and got up early in the morning to refine the pills. The consumption of spiritual energy in refining pills was very huge, and there were less than fifty pills in total in three days.
This kind of idle day does not feel boring, but enjoys. Shi Xiao felt that he was different from his peers, and entered the stage of enjoying his old age in advance. What should come will still come, Shi Xiao's leisure time lasted for a week, and there were more than a hundred pills refined, because the medicinal materials were not enough, so Shi Xiao stopped refining the pills.
"Let's go to Sunset City today, and by the way, go to that little girl in Xuan Ziwen to buy some medicinal herbs..."Yuan Yuan said.
"Well, I'm going to say hello..."Shi Xiao said.
Except for Yuanyuan, no one knew about this operation, not even Lin'er. Shi Xiao was going out this time and was going to take care of the Jin family's affairs before embarking on another stage of the cultivation path, so he would definitely not be able to come back in a short time, and he had to say hello loudly before leaving.
"Master, senior brother, this time I go out to cultivate, Lin'er will be handed over to you, maybe a year, maybe five years, I will definitely come back!" Shi Xiao said firmly.
"Go ahead, since the path of domain power is not suitable for you, then you should follow the path that suits you...", the old man sighed lightly.
"Thank you, Master, for your understanding, please bow to your disciples!"
"Plop!" Shi Xiao kowtowed to the old man. Nothing can be expressed in words, only in the most respectful way.
"Ahh There is no way, this disciple in front of him is no longer able to cultivate like an ordinary person, his path can only be found by himself, and now he can't do anything about it.
"Senior brother, please also use the space scroll to send me to Sunset City!" Shi Xiao clasped his fists in both hands.
"There's no need for us to be so polite!!" Shi Lan said slightly angrily. Then he opened the space scroll, and the heavy suction power instantly spread to the surroundings.
"Then no thanks, hahaha!"
Shi Xiao stepped into the heavy black space, and all that was left was the last laugh......
"From now on, that little girl will be handed over to you, and I don't have the energy to teach others anything," the old man said with his hands behind his back. Shi Xiao walked, Shi Lan was not just an illusion or something, he always felt that his master's back was bent a little.
"Yes!"
Night......
Lin'er came back from the cultivation ground and found a letter on the table. The letter was left by Shi Xiao, and the content was to let Lin'er work hard to cultivate and something like that. But in Lin'er's opinion, every word in the letter is deeply engraved in her heart. She knew what Shi Xiao was doing in the letter, because Shi Xiao had explained that the Yumen Mountain Sect had some connections with the Jin family, so she couldn't say it.
......
The first thing Shi Xiao did when he came to Luoyang City was to find a place to stay, and then go to the auction house to buy some medicinal materials, because the procedures were too cumbersome, he asked Xuan Ziwen to arrange for him to wait for his affairs to be done before coming to pick them up.
Shi Xiao's daytime is equivalent to living in an auction house, and the medicinal materials he needs are very rare and very difficult to auction. After doing these things, the sky gradually darkened, Shi Xiao found a place to eat, then went back to the inn to change into the black robe, and rushed from the roof to the Jin family.
"Knock knock~~"
"Who?"
"It's a matter of finding your master!"
