"What deal?" Zhao An asked, a look of doubt in his eyes.

Xi Yan's cultivation and status in Heavenly Mandate City were too much higher than him, and he really couldn't think of anything worth trading on himself.

Xi Yan said seriously, "I want you to go all out to help me participate in this year's carving conference, and no matter what the result is, I will help you get rid of your guilt and restore your freedom, without having to do hard labor in the carving treasure building." ”

Zhao An was stunned for a moment, "What is the carving conference?"

Xi Yan pondered for a while, and said softly, "It is a grand meeting of all the carvers in the Heavenly Mandate City, and it is also a grand event for the selection of outstanding carvers. In another half a year, the carving conference will begin, and because I don't have a good helper, I don't get a good ranking every year, so I can only watch a group of fools who are not as good as me climb to the top, so the resources for cultivation and carving are also divided by them.

If you can be my helper, I believe that with your rapid fusion power, I will definitely have the strength to win this time. If I succeed this time, it will definitely do you more. ”

Zhao An thought for a moment and asked, "The matter of fusion is already extremely helpful to my cultivation, besides, you took me out of the fusion zone, and I am now working under you, even if you don't take the initiative to ask for it, I will naturally do my best." However, after the deed is completed, I have one more condition, I hope you can agree to me. ”

"What conditions?" asked Xi Yan.

"I heard from them that the carver has a very high status in Heavenly Mandate City, and his words are extremely weighty among the various factions, after the carving conference, I hope you can help me Elder Feng of the formation faction, I have something important to ask for. ”

"Elder Feng?" his face furrowed, "Is it Elder Feng who specializes in space formations?"

"Yes, that's him. Zhao An nodded and said, "Elder Feng Shenlong can't see the head but the end, with me as a nobody, it's hard to see him. But if it's a carver, maybe there's hope. ”

Xi Yan fell into a dilemma for a while, his fingers lightly hooked a strand of black hair and entangled, and said, "It's not that I don't help you, but that Elder Feng has an extremely high status and is highly respected in the Formation Sect, and ordinary people rarely ask to see him at all, I'm afraid I can't do it either." ”

Although he had already guessed that this was the end, Zhao An's eyes were still dark, revealing a hint of disappointment.

But after a while, Xi Yan suddenly put down the long hair in his hand, as if he had made up his mind, and said to Zhao An, "I don't know if you need to find him for anything, but if you can help me wholeheartedly and win the first place in this treasure carving conference, I am qualified to kneel and beg the elder, and ask the elder to come forward and ask Elder Feng to come out." ”

Zhao An's eyes lit up, "Is this true?"

He glanced at Zhao An with disdain, and said calmly, "The first place in each Carved Treasure Conference is qualified to make a wish to the Great Elder or the Carved Treasure Mansion Master. If you can help me get to that point, trust me for this little request, the elder will agree without even blinking an eye. ”

Zhao An frowned slightly, and asked, "Since you can only make one wish, you can obviously ask for better resources or other good things from Diaobaolou, isn't it a pity to waste an opportunity for me in vain?"

He smiled indifferently, "It's just a wish, as long as it's what I want, I'll be able to get it sooner or later, and I don't need them to give it." All I want now is to fight for a breath. ”

Speaking of this, his face turned cold, "There is a person who has been pressing on my head since I was a child. If it's my lack of cultivation or talent, I'll admit it. But every time I lose to his financial and human resources, I am not reconciled!"

The pink fists were slowly clenched, and a cold glint emanated from Xi Yan's eyes, "Although your cultivation is low, you are extremely talented in fusing magic weapons, and you are a malleable talent." In this half a year, I will do my best to help you improve your cultivation, not only to help me, but also to help yourself. ”

Zhao An looked at the face in his eyes, pondered for a long time, and said seriously, "Okay! ”

After walking out of Xiyan's room, Zhao An didn't say a word, and went back to his place directly, sitting cross-legged, ready to impact the eighth layer of condensation.

Staring at the three Broken Rank Pills in his hand, Zhao An didn't know whether he was happy or strange, a Broken Rank Pill that was difficult to get even if he had hollowed out his mind was now casually obtained!

With the number of Broken Rank Pills in his hand, he believed that he could not only easily break through the eighth layer of condensation qi, but even impact the foundation building period was also promising.

Licking his lips, Zhao An's eyes flashed with irrepressible excitement, thinking that he was about to become a foundation building period monk, Zhao An did not hesitate, decisively took a Breaking Pill, closed his eyes, and went all out to break through the cultivation......

As the Treasure Carving Conference approached more and more, not only Zhao An, but even Xi Yan was in retreat and cultivation in the room every day. I don't know if it's because of the transaction, Xi Yan's attitude towards Zhao An has been greatly eased.

Whenever Zhao An's cultivation encountered a bottleneck, Xi Yan would point out the crux of the problem, and took the trouble to explain the skills and tricks of the fusion for Zhao An, and every sentence benefited Zhao An greatly.

During this time, Xi Yan even hung up the sign of "free customers", and no longer accepted any carving business, so as not to delay the time of cultivation.

In this kind of hurried cultivation, the days flew by, twenty-four hours a day, but Zhao An only rested for four hours, and spent all his time cultivating.

Finally, on this day, Zhao An was kneeling cross-legged in the room, above his head, half a round of golden breath and half a round of black breath blended and collided above his head, and the full of vitality and the dead air of decay and nothingness appeared strangely on him alone.

Looking at it, half of Zhao An's body skin is smooth and soft, and his hair is black and soft, like a newborn baby, full of vitality.

On the other side, the body is yellow-skinned and skinny, there seems to be no flesh on the body, blood vessels can be clearly seen under the withered yellow skin, and the hair is white and dry, as if it is an old man who has fallen down.

At this time, Zhao An's brows were tightly locked, his teeth were tight, bursts of breath emanated from his body, and the indescribable pain on his face seemed to be enduring great torture.

"Ho!"

Suddenly, Zhao An let out a low cry in his mouth, and several magic tricks were quickly changed in his hands, and the golden vitality above his head and the dead qi of nothingness and decay touched even more violently, obviously the doors and windows were closed, but the wind was howling in the room, and Zhao An's clothes were hunting.

Suddenly, Zhao An's eyes opened suddenly, and in an instant, his black pupils suddenly changed into a slender one, like snake eyes, looking straight at a place in front of him, exuding a creepy aura.

Not only that, but even the voice made by Zhao An was like the "hiss" sound of a snake, and behind him, the silhouette of a giant python with its knees raised to the sky faintly appeared.

"Ahh

Zhao An let out a roar of pain, and with a pause, the silhouette of the giant python behind him suddenly disappeared. Not only that, but even the life and death qi of the Thousand Illusions Reincarnation Dao instantly drilled back into his body.

"Hah...... Ha ......"

Panting heavily, Zhao An's pupils returned to normal, and a hint of shock flashed.

I can't tell how many times, every time he wants to hit the foundation building period, most of the spiritual power in his body will be strangely absorbed by the sea of knowledge, and every time he absorbs it, he can feel the roar of the monstrous python in the sea of knowledge.

"What the hell is that?"

Forced to suppress the confusion and doubt in his heart, now there is only one month left before the Treasure Carving Conference, with the help of the Breaking Rank Pill, he has already broken through the cultivation of the ninth layer of condensation, but every time he hits the foundation building period of cultivation, he will fail without exception.

"That's it, it's been promoted like this, so don't force it. ”

Although he was unwilling, but now that the three Breaking Rank Pills were all taken, if he forcibly took the fourth Breaking Rank Pill, I am afraid that it would be harmful to his cultivation and would not be beneficial.

Walking out of the room, Xi Yan was sitting on the porch, her white and tender feet soaked in the pool water, holding a lotus flower in her hand, and splashing from time to time.

"You haven't broken through yet? Xi Yan glanced at Zhao An and spoke helplessly. "Those three Rank Breaking Pills, even an idiot can break through the foundation building period, it's really a waste of my pills. ”

Zhao An smiled bitterly, "When you say that, I'm embarrassed to stay here." With that, Zhao An turned around and was about to leave.

Xi Yan glared at him and said, "Dare! If you dare to go, I will discount your dog's leg immediately!"

When Zhao An heard this, a wicked smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he ran back to Xi Yan on his feet, stretching out a leg again and again, "Boss, if you bear it, you can discount my leg, I will never blink my eyes." ”

"I see that you haven't learned a lesson for a long time, and you owe it to clean up, aren't you!" Yan Yan was angry, and the lotus flower in his hand was unceremoniously thrown on Zhao An's body.

"Oops......"

Zhao An bent over, covered his beaten abdomen, and muttered, "Why are you really beating." ”

After half a year of contact, the relationship between Zhao An and Xi Yan is not only extremely relaxed, but also to the point where you can laugh, although sometimes when you see Xi Yan's outfit, Zhao An still blushes involuntarily, but he has long lost his original fear and rejection.

Xi Yan looked at Zhao An's embarrassed appearance, laughed out loud, and said, "What's wrong with kicking you, I still have your dog legs." ”

"Hey, come here. Xi Yan suddenly smiled, stretched out a finger, and gently hooked Zhao An.

"What are you going to do?" Zhao An opened his mouth vigilantly, with a look of resistance, but he still walked in front of Xi Yan.

The next moment, a string of water droplets splashed from the pond and slapped Zhao An in the face. Before Zhao An could react, two snow-white and smooth feet stepped on his shirt and slapped back and forth.

In Zhao An's stunned gaze, Xi Yan shook his feet with satisfaction, squatted down, and put on his shoes.

"You just used my clothes to wipe your feet?" Zhao An stood in place and asked blankly.
