It's been nearly two decades again.

It has been more than ten days, the sun is scorching, and the hot and dry temperature has been high.

The skin of the boy's bare upper body has changed from the original white skin to a pure and thick bronze color. This made the young man fade a little immature and a little more resolute, and his clear eyes became more and more bright.

The young man's figure seems to be thinner, but his whole body reveals a vigorous spirit, the flesh and bones are not "eliminated", but "fine", and the muscles are more solid and tight, so he looks thinner.

The young eagle has begun to take shape, and the momentum of flapping its wings is flying.

After absorbing the green fire liquid, that is, the cyan viscous liquid configured by Bai Xuan, Xuanchen slowly stood up, patted off some of the blood scabs that were still sticking to his body, shook his shoulders, and there was a crackling sound like a soybean popping.

"Do you want to see the results of cultivation during this time?" Bai Xuan asked.

Xuan Chen couldn't wait to say, "I think about it every day!"

During this period of penance, the results are naturally remarkable, but how much you have grown, just like a student who has studied poetry and books hard, has accumulated more and more knowledge in her stomach, but how much you have learned, only when you are right in poetry, or in a discussion and debate, or in the next pen and answer, can you see the true chapter.

As the so-called awakening in the heart, the mouth says, it is useless to do it on paper, and if you don't learn it from your body.

"Try it with a punch. Bai Xuan raised his chin and pointed to a thick black cedar tree in front of him.

The black cedar tree, in terms of hardness, is like the position of cold iron in metal, and it is very tough. A black cedar tree the size of a bowl is more difficult to break than an ordinary tree half a meter in diameter.

As soon as he said that, the aura in his body was running, Xuanchen clenched his right fist, and his muscles suddenly soared.

What he wants to try is the "Iron Mountain Fist".

And at the moment when Xuanchen had just condensed his aura, around his right fist, a whining wind actually rose without wind.

"This is a fist style?" Xuan Chen said in surprise, he actually had a fist style before he punched.

You must know that before the change, Xuanchen could barely punch with all his strength, and he was extremely vulnerable to the backlash of his fist afterwards. Moreover, Xuan Chen faintly felt that he was likely to be able to control the Iron Mountain Fist with ease now, and his power was the same as his physique, which was completely different from before.

"Cloud opening next grade martial arts, Iron Mountain Fist!"

Xuanchen ran wildly under his feet, and everywhere he passed, the fallen leaves were swept up in a mess by the surging fist wind.

The clenched right fist, with the bronze complexion, seems to be cast in copper water, the iron mountain fist, this is worthy of the name.

Sure enough, Xuan Chen threw a punch, hearty, without the previous dullness of being stuck in the mud.

"Boom!"

It was a crisp metal crash, and the black cedar trees shook violently, and the leaves were shaken and fell in all directions. As a bird scattered.

The next moment, a crack appeared where the fist fell, and it was ......

"Click!"

"Click!"

The cracks spread like crumbling ice.

"Click!"

The black cedar tree fell.

Xuanchen retracted his fist and took a deep breath, feeling ecstatic in his heart. It is undeniable that his aura realm is much stronger and more stable than when he first used the "Iron Mountain Fist", but what really allowed him to exert the Iron Mountain Fist to such a powerful point was the physical tempering during this time.

Without a solid physique to support it, simply relying on aura to improve the fist will undoubtedly be a duck on the shelf, and a little carelessness will be counterproductive. Virtue is still applicable when it falls on the martial arts. What is "virtue"? Naturally, it is the warrior himself, and what is "thing"? Of course, it is the strength or weakness of the move.

"How do you feel?" Bai Xuan walked over and asked.

"It's more handy, and it's more flexible," Xuan Chen looked at the clenched fists and said happily.

Bai Xuan nodded lightly and said: "When it comes to cultivation, both the physique and the martial arts realm must not be slack, top-heavy, not only if you are unsteady, but if you are not careful, you will be stumped." ”

"The students suddenly realized it, and now they have a deep understanding. Xuanchen said.

"You go down the mountain first, today's cultivation is over for the time being. When you go back, go get some things ready. Bai Xuan said.

Xuanchen asked, "What do you need?"

"A green fire grass, a huiling grass, a blood condensation fruit, a first-order water demon core, a bottle of ice spirit dew, and a cloud furnace. ”

"The medicinal materials for refining the green fire liquid?" Hearing the green fire grass, Xuan Chen thought of the green fire liquid.

Bai Xuan replied vaguely: "Not exactly." ”

Xuan Chen said with some embarrassment: "That teacher...... The cost of the first few materials is not small, and this last cloud furnace is even more ......."

Xuanchen, who used to be a "medicine jar", has a little insight into the spirit grass, and ordinary spirit grass, even if it can't be used as a way to warm the body and help practice and heal injuries, he probably knows its attributes, and of course, the price. So he estimated it, the Green Fire Grass, the Huiling Grass, and the Blood Condensation Fruit are all first-grade spirit grasses, and they all need about five hundred gold coins in total, and the first-order demon core is slightly more expensive, three or four hundred gold coins, Bing Linglu is okay, ordinary healing medicine, ten gold coins are like. Then Xuanchen added all the ones again, and suddenly felt a terrible headache.

There is also a cloud furnace, which is even more expensive for him.

"What?" Bai Xuan asked.

"Somewhat expensive. Xuan Chen scratched his head, "I remember the last time I heard that there was a first-grade cloud furnace in the Lan Clan's auction house, which was bought by the people of Cuichun Pavilion, and the price of the hammer was 10,000 gold coins. And as far as the previous materials are concerned, I can't afford it for the time being. Teacher, don't you know, my father-in-law and mother-in-law used to warm up my body, and the family's savings have been spent very little. Recently, I've been getting better and I'm back to being a warrior, so I don't have to waste that money anymore. But after all, it's just starting to open up sources and reduce expenditures, and I don't want to ...... I don't want to add to their burden. ”

The more Xuan Chen said that his voice was lower, and he secretly went to look at Bai Xuan's face, worried that the teacher would be dissatisfied with his indecision and ineffective work.

But I didn't think about it......

"Then solve what can be solved first, and try to find a way if you can't solve it now, but you can't go back to tomorrow, remember to always be mindful. Bai Xuan didn't have half of the seriousness and coldness of the past, but seemed to be very reasonable.

Xuan Chen nodded happily, "The student knows." ”

After that, Xuanchen left the cliff and returned home.

Sitting at the table, Xuan Chen supported his head with one hand and frowned, and with the other hand he carried the money bag with about sixty gold coins left. I can't afford to buy half of the stuff anyway. Oh no, Ice Spirit Dew is still okay.

The more Xuan Chen thought about it, the more bitter the sadness on his face became, it turned out that "it is difficult to move an inch without money", firewood, rice, oil and salt are like this, and when it falls on the road of cultivation, it is generally the same. It is really the master who knows that salt and rice are expensive, and only when he practices can he know that money flows.

"You can sell the Gathering Spirit Grass, the three-grade spirit grass, and it is the kind of superior quality among the three products, how much can it be worth a little money, and it is not difficult to solve the urgent need in front of you. A thought floated out of nowhere, and said.

Xuan Chen glanced at the verdant Gathering Spirit Grass on the table, the little guy grew quite fast, he put down the money bag, stretched out his two fingers to open the distance and compared the head and tail of the Gathering Spirit Grass, almost two inches long.

Xuanchen crossed his arms on the table, and leaned down his head weakly, "Instead of saying cool things in my ear, it's better to help out more, maybe I'll think more of your good." ”

"There's nothing I can do about it. A thought also floated to the table, leaning on the money bag with his back, and reclining comfortably, "Money is something outside the body, and we and other worldly masters who are beyond the mortal world have long looked down on it, but we are not in the same stream as you ordinary people." ”

Xuan Chen said angrily: "You are not a human being. ”

Yi Nian said with a grin: "The master is not human. ”

"White horses are not horses?" asked Xuan Chen.

Yi Nian snapped his fingers, "Exactly!"

Xuanchen rolled his eyes, "It's not skinny, it's really okay if you don't want to." ”

Xiao Zhen's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Chen'er, are you there?"

"Father?" Xuan Chen was a little strange, and got up to open the door.

A thought immediately snorted and flew back into the ring.

"Father, why are you here?"

Xiao Zhen walked into the room, sat down at the table, poured himself a glass of water, drank it all, wiped his mouth, and replied, "It's not that I left something at home, so I ran back again." I just heard from your mother that you came back early today, and I thought I would come to see you. You're a busy person during this time, and it's not easy to see you. ”

Xuan Chen scratched his head in embarrassment, "The child has indeed been too obsessed with cultivation recently, neglecting his father and mother. ”

"Haha, okay, okay, being a father is just joking, don't care, I don't mean to complain about you. Xiao Zhen smiled and waved his hand, then took out a blue card from his arms and handed it to Xuan Chen, "There are a thousand gold coins stored in this card, which is the commission for the last mission." I kept half of it, and here's the other half, come, take it. ”

Xuanchen didn't answer, but asked suspiciously: "Commission?"

"You played a crucial role in the last mission, if it weren't for you, not only would the mission fail, but my father and the brothers of the Thunder War Mercenary Regiment would definitely not have escaped. So the head of Lei Xing gave us a lot of commissions, but I returned some, you know, the head of the group helped us a lot, and offended the Mu family because of this, don't blame me for being arrogant. Xiao Zhen said.

"Father, what are you talking about, the decision you make is my decision. But this money ...... You'd better take it back. You've spent so much money on me before, but you've been stingy once, so how can I turn around now and divide the money with you? That's not right. Speaking of the lion-faced butterfly incident, I was really lucky. ”

"One yard to one yard. Xiao Zhen actually stuffed the blue card directly into Xuanchen's arms, "This is for you by the head of the regiment, it is your commission, it has nothing to do with me, I am a change of hands." Hurry up and accept it, and then my mother-in-law and mother missed the time to be a father, and I will be unhappy for my father!"

"Father!" Xuan Chen really didn't know what to do, and said anxiously.

"If you come, you will be safe, isn't it just to send charcoal in the snow,, hypocrisy. ”

There was a mocking sound of yin and yang in Xuanchen's heart lake.

Xuanchen didn't bother to pay attention to it, so he didn't hear it.

Xiao Zhen said solemnly: "Chen'er, you are already a martial artist now, how can you do it without any money on your body? As the old saying goes, if you have food at home, you don't panic in your heart, and if you have money in your hands, everything is easy to do." It's not a lot of money, but it's better than nothing. Take it, I wonder if you, a rabbit cub, will be stumped by a penny of heroes, how can Lao Tzu have so much leisure?"

In the end, Xiao Zhen scolded with a smile.

In the heart lake, a rare thought said solemnly: "What your father said makes sense. And since you are in urgent need of money right now, why don't you accept it first, repay the favor, the coming day will be long, and you won't let your kid pick up cheap things for nothing. Are you really going to be cornered by this money? Ask yourself, is your martial arts practice delayed? Don't slap your swollen face and become fat, it will really break your face. ”

Xuan Chen thought for a moment in his heart, and finally accepted the money happily, and thanked Xiao Zhen: "Thank you, father." ”

"Stinky boy, it's a minute. Xiao Zhen said with a smile, and then got up and left.

After Xiao Zhen left, a thought floated out again, looked at the blue card in Xuanchen's hand and said, "No, it doesn't take any effort to get it." ”

Xuan Chen smiled and didn't refute anything.

In the temple fair, Xuan Chen spent two hundred and fifty gold coins to buy a green fire grass, one hundred gold coins to buy a Huiling grass and a blood condensation fruit, a first-order water system demon core cost four hundred, and Ice Spirit Dew spent ten gold coins.

Then when he checked out, Xuan Chen learned that there were not only 1,000 gold coins in the blue card, but 1,500 gold coins. This made Xuanchen cry and laugh, Jiang was really old and spicy.

The blue card is one of the "gold deposit cards" used to store gold coins, and the accurate name is "blue crystal card", which is a relatively low-level gold deposit card. There are also silver crystal cards, gold crystal cards, platinum crystal cards, diamond crystal cards, and the most noble is the black diamond crystal card. Depending on the quality of the deposit card, the upper limit of what can be stored is also different. Like this blue crystal card in Xuanchen's hand, he can only save a maximum of 50,000 gold coins.

After buying the three materials, Xuanchen still had seven hundred gold coins left on his body. There is still the last cloud furnace left, not to mention that the money on the body is still 108,000 miles away, and where to find the seller who sells the cloud furnace is also an unsolved mystery.

"Why are you here?"

There was a beautiful voice like a silver bell behind him, and Xuan Chen turned to see that it was Mo Qinghan, a pretty girl who was eccentric and interested in his hair.

The girl walked up to Xuanchen and said faintly: "I went to your house to look for you a few times, but you are not here, where have you been during this time?"

A moment ago, Xuanchen, who was still full of sorrow and browsed the stalls on both sides like a horse, suddenly looked frozen, the muscles on his face were tense and stiffened together, and he hesitated for a long time before he spit out an inexplicable answer: "I, I don't know." ”

This performance of the teenager stems from the fact that he has little contact and communication with his peers, and in the first nine years of the clan, Xuan Chengui is the son of the patriarch and the genius of the clan, so the rest of the young people are in awe of his attitude. This has created estrangement and alienation, and no one dares to get along with him in a normal manner, and they are extremely cautious in their words and deeds. To say it well is to "treat each other with courtesy", and to say it badly, it is to "respect and stay away".

Therefore, even if Xuanchen took the initiative to make friends with them, those who could avoid it pretended to turn a blind eye and couldn't dodge, so he fought haha, perfunctory two sentences, and said that there was this and that, and left.

Not to mention the past five years in Yaobei City, no one has thrown stones, and they are all lucky.

All kinds of factors have led to Xuanchen not being good at it, and even saying that he is not used to getting along with his peers.

What's more, standing in front of him is still a delicate and lovely girl with eyes like autumn water.

"You don't know?" Mo Qinghan raised his head as if asking, "Then do you know that I climbed over the wall of your courtyard several times, almost showing it to others, and making people chew the root of their tongue?"

"I, I don't know. Xuan Chen replied honestly.

The girl suddenly glared at Xuan Chen angrily, "Then what do you know?!"

"I, I, I know now. Xuanchen muttered.

"Hmph, there's something else you don't know. Mo Qinghan snorted and said, "I'm still worried about your injury, so I specially prepared a lot of healing herbs, but now it seems that I am too worried." ”

Mo Qinghan seemed to be annoyed, turned his back, his hands on the lower end of his crisp chest, and a pair of red cheeks bulging like two small mountain bags.

Xuanchen hurriedly walked around to Mo Qinghan, and said apologetically to her: "I'm sorry, I've really been practicing outside during this time, and I come home late every day, so I don't know the situation at home." If I knew you had been here, how could I not see you?"

"Really?" Mo Qinghan glanced at Xuan Chen suspiciously, and twisted his head to the side again.

"It's true!" Xuan Chen said categorically.

"Okay then...... I'll forgive you this time. Mo Qinghan slowly turned his head and glanced at Xuan Chen with some twist, "But as a way to make up for it, you are not allowed to go anywhere today, where I go, you will accompany me wherever I go." ”

After saying that, in fact, the girl who had premeditated for a long time still couldn't avoid the two colorful glows that fell from the sky, hanging on her white cheeks.

Xuan Chen looked at the crimson of the girl's cheeks, and didn't think much about it, just thought that the heat was unbearable, and the girl's face was so hot that she blushed. Originally, I wanted to ask if I wanted to find a shady place to rest my feet first, but after thinking about it, I was at fault first, or I did everything according to what she said, and didn't take the initiative to suggest it. If you talk too much, you will lose, and you must not make her unhappy again.

So Xuanchen only nodded heavily and said, "Okay, you can go wherever you say!"

Mo Qinghan asked: "I heard that Daddy said that there is an auction to be held at the Lan Auction House today, and many people have gone to join in the fun, are you interested?"

"Your father will go too?" asked Xuanchen with a strange face,

"Will you go, what's wrong?" Mo Qinghan asked suspiciously.

Thinking of the man who seemed to be amiable, honest and kind, but his eyes were sharp and terrifying, Xuan Chen felt a little worried in his heart. But it's hard to ride a tiger, and I've already promised the girl, so I'm definitely embarrassed to shirk it at this time.

"Ha, it's nothing, just ask. Xuanchen was worried that the girl's interest would be mistaken because of the previous subconscious question, so he immediately said, "Actually, I wanted to see their so-called auction before, but I never had the chance." ”

Of course, Xuanchen is indeed interested in the Lan Auction House, the four surnames of the Imperial City, and the magnificent titles.

"That's perfect. Mo Qinghan smiled, walked to Xuanchen's side and said side by side with him, "Let's go, I'll lead the way." ”

Xuanchen said yes.

The two of them walked side by side outside the temple fair, and the girl had a more and more intense enthusiasm that seemed to be born by the scorching sun, and she had nothing to say to the teenager along the way. Tell the boy how difficult and tortuous she was when she went to find him for the first time, it was difficult to find the porcelain alley, and it was even more difficult to find your small courtyard; the medicinal materials she had worked so hard to collect were more or less heavy, and she was running around with a large package, and her hands and feet were almost painful; and on two occasions when she climbed over the yellow mud wall, she was almost seen by passers-by, which was very thrilling......

In this way, there are young men and girls with a purpose, but they are more like walking aimlessly and just moving forward. Because each of them has forgotten that there is an end.

When the two of them were far away, two young men, one fat and one thin, walked to the place where they had stood and began to talk.

The fat man asked first, "What's wrong with our young lady?"

The thin man sighed: "It's summer, but Miss has just reached spring." Wonderful, wonderful. ”

The fat man pushed the thin man and complained: "Leather monkey, can you not be a god who chatters, let's have something to say, okay?"

The thin man shook his head, and said hatefully: "Alas, I usually ask you to read two more books, but you don't listen, and as soon as your hand touches the page, the snoring sound is like thunder." Now it's complaining about the heavens, it's sad, it's sad. ”

The fat man pushed the thin man again, and the thin man dodged away, and the fat man said, "your grandmother, didn't you just read two more broken books?" ”

The fat man looked in the direction where the two of them left and said, "What did that kid do to Miss, make Miss absent-minded all day long, and specially sent two of us personal 'toys' to keep an eye on his movements." As soon as she heard that the boy appeared at the temple fair, the young lady stopped eating the pastries like burning eyebrows, and ran over. Thinking about the years before, I counted the number of times the young lady went out with both hands. Why are you running out all day now?"

"You're the 'toy', your whole family is a 'toy'!" the thin man scolded angrily, "Illiterate and rude." ”

In the end, the thin man glared at the fat man, shook his sleeves and turned around, and walked away without looking back. Only the fat man was left standing in place, scratching his head, puzzled.

"What kind of spring is it, isn't this autumn still far away?" the fat man squinted and looked at the red sun above his head, thinking of those sloppy words, thinking that it was better to forget it, he would not be this piece of material, or it would be better not to read it.
