The hall on the first floor of Wanbao Building was full of mercenaries, and they all gathered when they heard that there were moving and talking dolls, and they wanted to see them. When the receptionist took out a child's doll and saw the face like a real person, a mercenary man touched it with his hand, and the touch of the tentacle like a real person made the mercenary man amazed. After the receptionist pressed the button on the back of the doll, the child's hand swayed, and the mouth made a crisp sound Don't touch my face, the receptionist touched the child's hand again. Immediately, the doll came out again: "Don't touch my hands, you are so annoying, you always touch me." ”

The mercenary man looked at such a strange item and felt very curious: "How much does this doll cost?" ”

"30 gold coins," replied the receptionist.

The mercenary man took out the gold coin, snatched the doll and walked out of Wanbao Tower, as if he was afraid of being snatched away.

Immediately after that, the mercenaries all paid for all kinds of dolls, and walked out of the Wanbao Building with a smile on their faces.

In this way, Wanbaolou's business was booming, but after more than a month of this prosperous day, business became light again, Lin Xuan thought about it, and knew that the money in the pockets of those mercenaries had been spent, so he asked the guards to post a notice that a cup of one-star fighter blood could be exchanged for a gold coin. A cup of Dou Gu's blood can be exchanged for 10 gold coins. A cup of Great Fighter's blood can be exchanged for 100 gold coins.

When those mercenaries saw the content of the notice, they came to Wanbao Tower one after another, and one of the rugged men took the lead in front of the receptionist and said with a smile: "You guys here in exchange for the cup of blood, I want to bleed, I am the strength of a five-star fighter." ”

The receptionist took out an extra-large cup, the size of a scoop of water on the earth, and made the mercenary man stammer, and couldn't help but say, "Your cup is a bit big, I'm a little panicked." "I thought to myself that if I had released such a large amount of blood, I was afraid that I would have to crawl back to the ground.

"It's okay, our landlord has taken into account the physical condition of the mercenaries, and specially prepared medicinal materials for you that can replenish blood. After speaking, he took out a medicinal herb and put it on the counter.

The mercenary said dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter with you, don't even dare to let go of this blood, or you go down and let me come." ”

Who said that I don't dare to bleed The mercenary man put his left hand on the mouth of the cup after speaking, took out a dagger and cut the blood vessels, and suddenly blood came out, and the mercenary man's face became pale quickly, and a cup of blood was filled;

Looking at the other party's distrustful gaze, the receptionist took out 5 gold coins from the ring and put them on the counter, and the mercenary man picked up the gold coins and walked out of Wanbao Building with a weak body.

"Next;" said the receptionist.

A mercenary stepped forward and said with a smile, I am a strong man who is dedicated to fighting, after speaking, he put his hand on the mouth of the cup, took out a dagger and cut the blood vessels, and soon filled a cup of blood, received a reward of 10 gold coins, and after eating a blood-replenishing medicinal herb, he retreated.

Soon, the mercenary men went up one by one to bleed, and after eating the medicinal herbs and receiving the payment, they walked out of Wanbaolou with a smile on their faces.

In the evening, Lin Xuan was resting in the room of Wanbao Building, and a maid stepped forward, took out five wooden barrels from the ring, and said with a smile: "Landlord, four of the barrels are filled with the blood of the fighter, and the other bucket is the blood of the fighter. ”

Lin Xuan waved his hand, looking at the barrel full of blood, thinking in exchange for blood, I don't know when I will be able to break through my strength, but the gold coin is like dung to me, so I have to use it to improve my strength.

Hearing this, the maid retreated, and helped Lin Xuan close the door when she left. I thought in my heart that I didn't know what the use of the landlord asking for so much blood, but the treatment here was really good, and everyone could get a low-level ring as soon as they started working.

After Lin Xuan waited for the maid to leave, with a wave of his hand, a large group of mosquitoes flew out of his cuffs and flew into the barrel with fluttering wings, absorbing the blood. Soon the five buckets of blood were absorbed, and the mosquitoes continued to fly back into Lin Xuan's sleeve. With a sigh, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate and cultivate, and the time slowly passed in cultivation.

As dawn broke, a ray of light shone on the window. Lin Xuan opened his eyes, washed up, and walked towards the courtyard of the Xiao family.

When he came to Xun'er's yard and knocked on her door, a sweet voice came from inside: "Who?"

"Xun'er, I'm Lin Xuan, I want to invite you to visit Utan Chengfang City. ”

"Young Master Lin Xuan, I still have to cultivate, and in three months it will be the family's coming-of-age ceremony, I want to improve my strength a little, you better find someone else to accompany you to visit Utan City;Xun'er politely refused.

"Okay! Xun'er, your cultivation is important, I'll come back to you next time. After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he walked towards his small courtyard, entered the room and closed the door, and sat up cross-legged and began to retreat.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another three months have passed. During this period, Lin Xuan proposed several times to let Xun'er accompany him to play, but she refused on the grounds of cultivation. Lin Xuan had no choice but to go out to play alone and felt bored, so he retreated in the room and cultivated, and after three months, the cultivation of the One-Star Dou Sect had been promoted to the peak realm.

With a squeak, Lin Xuan opened the door and walked out of the door. continued to Xun'er's room and knocked on the door, thinking that this time he would be turned away, but he didn't expect the sound of the door opening soon sounded inside.

Looking at Xun'er's still delicate face, Lin Xuan said with a smile: "How can Xun'er be free today, you have to relax in your cultivation, don't keep locking yourself in a small black room, let's go, let's go to the market." ”

"Lin Xuangongzi, today is the day of the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony, and I have to go to the square to test the cultivation of fighting spirit;Xun'er smiled.

"Then let's go together;" Lin Xuan stretched out his hand to invite.

He also wanted to take Xun'er's little hand and go to the square to watch her test.

At this time, Xiao Yan came over and patted Lin Xuan's hand away, and said with a smile: "Xun'er, let's go to the square together to test the fighting qi."

"Okay, Brother Xiao Yan, Xun'er agreed, and walked in the direction of the square.

Xiao Yan glanced at Lin Xuan proudly and chased after him.

Lin Xuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, feeling that the distance between himself and Xun'er was getting farther and farther, and the figure that watched them go away also quickened his pace to follow.

When the three of them passed by the square, they were seen by the young children of the Xiao family, and they all looked at Xiao Yan who was walking with Xun'er with envy, and at the same time, their whispers were heard: "I really don't know what Xun'er likes about Xiao Yan, in terms of appearance, he is not as handsome as me, and in terms of strength, he is not as strong as me." A member of the Xiao family in the square said enviously.

There were immediately boos from the side. Among them, there is a member of the Xiao family: "You look better than Xiao Yan and can't see where you go, and your strength is only four levels of fighting qi, you are embarrassed to say it."

Just as they were about to continue, they found that Xiao Zhan and the three elders had already walked to the seats on the high platform and sat down, and the square immediately became silent.

"Today is the day of the Xiao family's test coming-of-age ceremony, you must behave well today, this is related to your future stay in the Xiao family, those who have reached the seven-stage fighting qi can continue to stay in the Xiao family, and those who have not reached the seven-stage fighting qi will be assigned to take care of the family's property outside; Xiao Zhan's voice sounded on the high platform, and then he glanced at Xiao Yan with a worried face, and said with a wry smile: "Now I announce the Xiao family's test ceremony, which starts now." ”

Seeing Xiao Zhan's expression, the Great Elder had a smug smile on his face, his grandson had advanced to the Eighth Rank Dou Qi, which was much stronger than Xiao Zhan's waste son.

Hearing that the patriarch announced the start of the test ceremony, a middle-aged man immediately stepped up to the stage and checked the test magic stone tablet, then stepped aside and took out the roster of the Xiao family from his arms.

Immediately, some of the people in the audience who had not reached the seventh stage of the Dou Qi showed nervous expressions on their faces, looking at the list that the testers on the stage were about to announce.

Ignoring the nervous young people in the audience, the tester's cold voice rang out in the square.

"Xiao Yan, please come to the stage to test. ”

Hearing this, the people in the square all looked at Xiao Yan who was talking to Xun'er in a low voice.

Looking at the gazes cast around him in astonishment, Xiao Yan also felt that someone was deliberately targeting him, he was the last to read his name before, he knew that it must have been done by the great elder on the high platform, and his eyes glanced at the old man sitting on the high platform.

Seeing the Great Elder smiling at him, Xiao Yan withdrew his gaze.

Xiao Zhan, who was sitting next to him, glared at the Great Elder fiercely.

Xiao Yan squeezed through the crowd and walked onto the test table. Put your hand on the test magic stone tablet and enter the fighting energy in your body, a dazzling light lit up on the test magic stone tablet, and after the light dissipated, five big characters appeared, fighting qi, seven paragraphs!

There was an immediate uproar from the audience.
