The early morning sun sprinkled on the verdant mountains and forests, as if covered with a light green veil, illuminating all the deep and light colors like a song undulating and beautiful tune. The blue sky is as clear as washing, the faint bird calls, endlessly, on the street, bustling, the beauty is graceful, the jade lang is handsome and chic, the endless shouting sound comes and goes, the exquisite hairpin, rouge powder, the fragrance of the food spread far away, attracts the attention of passers-by on the street, and people come one after another.

"Don't miss it, take a look, take a look. Xiao Lotus showed his sharp corners, and when he saw the pork ribs and stewed beans; The moon falls and the sky is full of frost, and the pine nut corn field is three fresh; Ask how sad you can be, cumin iron plate burnt fat cow ......" I saw a guy from a restaurant standing at the gate shouting hard, which immediately attracted the attention of many people

"Poof, I'm laughing to death, this is really a fucking talent, it's a pity not to be a comedian" Xu Yichen, who got up early in the morning to look for medicinal herbs on the street, couldn't help but laugh after hearing this

"He is indeed a very interesting person who knows how to get the attention of passers-by...... There is a pharmacy not far from the left in front to see if there are any needed herbs."

"Okay, I'll go now"

......

After visiting all the pharmacies in Tianxiang City, the missing two medicinal herbs were still not found, Xu Yichen let out a long sigh after walking out of the last pharmacy with his head down

"There's no way around it...... We can only wait patiently for half a month," Ling Lao said helplessly

"Well, I hope nothing goes wrong during this period" Xu Yichen could only comfort his lost emotions like this

A frightened scream came from a house not far to his right, filled with people discussing something, and a faint cry could be heard.

"What's going on over there?"

Xu Yichen couldn't help the curiosity in his heart and rushed over to see what was going on

I finally squeezed in from the crowd outside, and saw a woman holding a male corpse crying loudly, the deceased's clothes were torn and there were several cuts, and there were also a few scratches on his face, which seemed to be cut by something sharp. Blood continued to flow from these wounds on his body, staining all the white clothes he was wearing blood-red

His face was pale and he stood there motionless, Xu Yichen only felt that strands of cold sweat flowed down his spine.

The air suddenly became heavy, and everyone felt an inexplicable terror. The onlookers who came to watch were frightened by this scene, and some timid people quickly covered their eyes and fled here in panic

"The strength of the eight-rank battle master, why is it so gone?"

"The wounds on the body of the person who were attacked in the middle of the night the other day are exactly the same. It's been four times this month."

"Stay in your own house at night and don't go out! It is rumored that a mysterious monster has come from nowhere in Tianxiang City recently, I didn't believe it at first, but now I see these scratches and it seems that the rumors are true!"

"But now there are people who mysteriously disappear in the room in the middle of the night."

"It's terrible, it's not safe in the city at all......"

"Presumably it was also the work of that mysterious monster, and now I only hope that someone with a high level of cultivation will kill it."

The crowd behind him gathered together to discuss the matter in horror, everyone hoped that all the recent strange events would disappear and Tianxiang City would return to its previous peaceful and harmonious appearance

"Xiao Chenzi, don't be stunned, go up and ask about the situation" There was a hint of seriousness in the words from Ling Lao, as if he was worried that something terrible would happen

Holding back the fear in his heart, Xu Yichen calmed down, and his panicked face began to slowly calm down

"Auntie, can you take the liberty of asking......" Xu Yichen stepped forward and patted the woman's shoulder gently, the woman slowly raised her head to wipe the tears in her eyes, and looked at the delicate young man in white in front of her......

......

After comforting with kind words, Xu Yichen came to an alley where the woman just said that passers-by found the body, and there were still a few blood stains on the ground that had not been cleaned up. The breeze was blowing, and the empty alleys were even more terrifying

"Goo...... Mutter...... Goo"

The crisp sound of a bird call came, Xu Yichen looked up along the source of the sound, and a gray-white bird kept flapping its wings and flew up, and finally landed not far away

"That's?" The sharp-eyed Xu Yichen suddenly saw a cluster of silver-gray things scattered where the bird fell, and the bird was standing there staring at him

The pace under his feet gradually accelerated, Xu Yichen came to the location where the thing was, bent down and picked up a small cluster and took it to his hand to observe it carefully, but the little bird did not fly away directly to dodge, so he accompanied him to watch

The cluster of silver-gray stuff scattered on the ground looked like some kind of animal's hair, and it was a little hard to the touch, and it didn't feel like it had been shed by a normal animal

"Are you trying to guide me to this clue?" Xu Yichen slowly stood up and said in a soft tone

As if he really understood human speech, the bird nodded and flew back to the nest in the tree

"Elder Ling, it looks like some kind of high-level xenomorphic beast has broken through the defensive array of the border guards and come to Tianxiang City," Xu Yichen's expression became nervous

"No, this definitely won't be an alien beast from the outside world," Ling Lao said in a deep voice

Xu Yichen was stunned after hearing this, and only after a long time did he ask suspiciously: "Why do you say that? The Fengming Empire has a rule that you can't bring back alien beasts from the outside world, and if there is a violator, the royal family will definitely personally lead the army to exterminate it with all your might." So there is no other way than for a high-level xenomorph beast to forcibly break in."

"There was no xenobiotic scent on this tuft of hair at all. Some...... It's more like the breath of a cultivator. Not only that, but in addition to this aura, there is also a little bit of faint weird energy that remains like the previous few times" After a moment of silence, Ling Lao's tone of voice vaguely revealed a sense of worry

"No breath of xenomorphs?

"Don't hang around outside now, hurry home and prepare for the next battle, and there's something I need to tell you"

"I understand, I'll go back now"

Putting the silver-gray hair in his palm into the pocket of his clothes, Xu Yichen hurried home

......

Tianxiang City Qingyun Inn

The girl in a pink dress was lying on the window, looking curiously at the beautiful scenery outside the window with clear and bright pupils, and a lock of beautiful black hair fluttered down like a waterfall. The curved eyebrows, the beautiful nose, the pink cheeks are slightly red, the cherry lips like dripping cherries, the face like melon seeds like flowers is crystal like jade, and the skin like snow jade is smooth and crispy, and the ice is crystal clear. The figure is graceful and slender, beautiful and vulgar. The dignified appearance reveals an indescribable sense of innocence.

"What's the matter, Xiyin, what beautiful scenery can make you so fascinated?"

Gently taking a sip of the tea in her hand, the woman in white got up and came behind the girl and said gently

"Senior Sister Ling Yun, look, the scenery outside is so beautiful."

Turning his head and smiling lightly at the woman in white, Xiyin's face showed cute little dimples, and he smiled with his slender fingers pointing at the scenery outside the window

Following the beautiful scenery outside the window of Xiyin's finger, the woman stepped forward to take a look, only to see a breeze blowing away the clouds and mist, and the sun happily showing a smiling face, sprinkling warmth and light on every corner of the street. The sunlight is filtered by the layers of leaves, and it leaks into others, turning into a faint round and gently swaying halo......

"Yes, I've been in the sect for a long time, but I haven't seen such a beautiful scenery in the world for a long time," the woman couldn't help but sigh

"Hehe, why don't you go out to play?" Xiyin stretched out her hand to hold Ling Yun's arm and said coquettishly

"You, you, you, how to have fun in your head, have you forgotten the task that Master gave us?"

"How come? I can listen to the old man's words, this time he asked us people to go down the mountain just to recruit teachers every five years in Tianxiang City."

Rubbing his nose, Xiyin's small mouth flashed into a soft smile

"And what about the other most important one?"

"Of course, we can't forget that Master specially told us several times before the retreat. Xu Yichen, a well-known genius boy in Tianxiang City, must let him join our Lingxiao Pavilion. It seems that the master has great expectations for him, I really don't know what kind of teenager he will be" When he said the three words Xu Yichen, Xiyin somehow had more expectations in his heart

"Prepare well, in a few days, we will personally visit the Xu family, before the other sects have caught up with him," Ling Yun said, looking at the scenery outside the window

"Okay, there's still plenty of time to prepare, let's go wander around the streets and see if there's anything interesting."

"Okay, okay, I can't help you"

With a treacherous look on her face, Xiyin giggled and covered her mouth and chuckled, and then took Senior Sister Ling Yun's arm and went downstairs......
