Qingli Sect is located in the deepest part of the Yunmeng Mountain Range, covering an extremely vast area, between the peaks, there are many courtyards, even the outer disciples have their own independent courtyards.

Su Bai walked back to the courtyard where he lived from the martial arts arena, and Lu Xiaochen stood quietly next to him.

"Xiaochen, I still failed after all, and my soul is about to wake up. The tiredness in Su Bai's eyes flashed.

"Failure is failure, it's not a big deal, you've done your best to stop the awakening of your soul over the years, and a prophecy is just a prophecy after all, maybe it won't really happen. Lu Xiaochen looked at the young man next to him, and sighed lightly in his heart, Su Bai said that he was a soul master, and everyone thought that he was deliberately boasting for grandstanding, only Lu Xiaochen knew that this was not the case.

Su Bai, he is indeed a soul master, but the life star who communicates freely with him is the "breath" in the prophecy.

Fifteen years ago, the sky was thundering, the universe was shaking, and a star called "Breath" suddenly appeared in the sky, and the light of the stars it emitted rendered the entire starry sky into a vast sea of blood, just like the end of the world, and at the same time, the twelve main stars that had existed forever stopped functioning.

Born with a vision, Zhongzhou was shaken, the Qintian Pavilion Great Star Master in the Hanging Island of Zhongzhou Holy Land observed the stars and deduced the heavenly machine, but the Great Star Master pointed to the sky and died, and left the world a prophecy about the catastrophe when he was dying: "The breath is out, the source of the disaster, the main star is reversed, the fate is tribulated, Kyushu gathers, the four seas return, and all living beings are destroyed......"

Overnight, the Qintian Pavilion rang the bell nine times, announcing to the world that the Lord of Tranquility had been born, and if anyone found his traces, he could go to the Holy Land and be rewarded with the qualification to enter the Holy Land to practice.

Since then, there have been countless searches for the Lord of Rest, but more than ten years have passed, and no trace of him has been found.

"Three years ago, when I found out that my natal star was a breath, I no longer continued to practice, hoping that my soul would be silent forever, although I Su Bai did not have the heart of a self-sacrificing saint, but I also did not want the heavens and the earth to be destroyed because of me. Su Bai shook his head helplessly, laughed at himself, and said, "However, the three-inch tree in my dantian has been converging spiritual power into the spiritual veins in an attempt to awaken the soul. ”

"Tonight is another full moon period, and when the three-inch tree receives the power of the stars of the main star of the bright moon, I can no longer suppress the awakening of the soul, and I have worked hard for three years, but in the end I still can't change anything. ”

Su Bai raised his head and stared at the vast starry sky, the dark red breath was suspended alone among the stars, flickering, as if he was also staring at this young man who was connected to its fate.

"No matter what happens in the future, I will always stand by your side and face it with you, which is not only the mission entrusted to me by my family, but also my commitment as a friend. Lu Xiaochen looked at the young man beside him who looked up at the sky and said very firmly.

Lu Xiaochen is not a person from the Eastern Wilderness, but from the far south of Xinjiang, three years ago, Lu Xiaochen teleported to the Yunmeng Mountain Range through the family's altar, and according to the induction of his life star "Yu Fei", he found the owner of "Breath" Su Bai, in order to fulfill the family's mission, he wanted to use his life to protect the young man in front of him.

Zhongzhou can be roughly divided into four directions and one island, namely the Eastern Wilderness, Southern Xinjiang, Western Desert, Beichuan and the central hanging island, each of which is vast and long, with hundreds of millions of living beings.

"I don't even know where I came from, why did the elders of your family send you to guard me?" Three years ago, when Su Bai woke up on the edge of the mountain forest near the Yunmeng Mountain Range, his eyes were confused, he didn't have the slightest memory except that his name was Su Bai, if he hadn't met Lu Xiaochen, he still didn't know where to wander.

"Grandpa once said that you are 'hope', and in the future, when you are strong enough, when you come to southern Xinjiang in person, you will know everything. Lu Xiaochen responded.

"Hope......" Su Bai showed a slightly surprised and confused look on his face, he didn't understand what this "hope" represented, and he changed his words and asked, "Xiaochen, do you believe in fate?"

"Believe, don't believe, although fate is unpredictable, but it is only to obtain and give, that's all. Lu Xiaochen replied.

"Acquire, give up......" Su Bai stared at the star hidden in the stars, his handsome face showed a touch of determination, and said: "My fate is up to me, not to heaven!

"Haha...... Men should be like this, on other days, if you step on the peak and reverse your fate, I will accompany you to laugh at the world! If you are not tolerated in the world, I will accompany you to get drunk to the end of the world!" Lu Xiaochen's green face appeared with a smile that was both cold and arrogant.

"I, Su Bai, have a friend like you in this life, it is not in vain in this life, tonight I will go to Hualing Mountain to awaken the soul, where the spiritual power is the most abundant, presumably the speed of the three-inch small tree to absorb the spiritual power will also speed up a lot. ”

Hualing Mountain, adjacent to the outer gate, is the location of the Qingli Sect to plant elixirs, and there is a huge spiritual vein underground, therefore, the formation master of the Qingli Sect spent a lot of effort to arrange a large array of spirit gathering that covers the entire Hualing Mountain.

The Great Gathering Spirit Array, gathering the aura of the underground spiritual veins, feeding the elixir on the mountain to multiply and grow, so that the growth cycle of the elixir is infinitely shortened, and the aura contained in it is very majestic.

"Hualing Mountain...... There was a chill between Lu Xiaochen's eyebrows, and there was a trace of murderous intent in his eyes: "You want to see Fang Decai?"

Fang Decai, the deacon of the outer sect of the Qing Sect, the five-fold cultivator of the Apocalypse, is responsible for the daily management of the Baicao Pavilion.

"Baicao Pavilion", the elixir institution of the outer sect of the Qing Sect, is in charge of the collection, collection, and selection of elixirs for the entire outer disciples to go to Hualing Mountain.

Since three years ago, since Su Bai's cultivation stagnated, Fang Decai has repeatedly bullied Su Bai, not only deducting cultivation resources at will, but also using extremely despicable means to make things difficult for Su Bai many times, Lu Xiaochen has also done it with Fang Decai, although the two are equal in combat strength, however, there are always other people involved in it during the period, so that in the past three years, Su Bai has suffered countless injuries, but fortunately, the three-inch small tree in Su Bai's body is magical, and Su Bai's injuries are repaired again and again, so there is no worry about life.

"Well, Fang Decai asked me to go to him at dusk, saying that he was going to give me a collection task, and it happened that I took the opportunity to go to Hualing Mountain. Su Bai looked at the Baicao Pavilion in the distance and said indifferently.

"I'll go with you. Lu Xiaochen didn't have to think about it at all, that Fang Decai definitely didn't have any good intentions.

"No need. Su Bai shook his head slightly and said: "The assessment of the promotion inner door is approaching, at this juncture, he will not blatantly do something to me, I can solve it myself." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back. ”

Su Bai bowed slightly at Lu Xiaochen, and then took a step and walked in the direction of Baicao Pavilion.

......

Inside the Hundred Grass Pavilion.

"Knock knock!"

"Deacon Fang, Su Bai came to the appointment. Su Bai stood at the door of a room on the second floor and knocked on the door.

With a "squeak", the door of the house opened automatically inward, and Su Bai's expression moved, and he walked in.

"Hey, isn't this a genius who brags that he is a soul master in the martial arts arena in the afternoon, hurry up and show his hand and let the master take a look. In the center of the room, a thin young man sat leisurely at a round wooden table, his expression full of mockery.

Fang Yun, Fang Decai's nephew, fifteen years old, has a sevenfold cultivation in the Innate Realm.

"Deacon Fang, it's getting late, please tell me anything about it. The look of disgust in Su Bai's eyes flashed, and he didn't pay attention to Fang Yun, but said coldly to Fang Decai who was lying on the rocking chair.

"Hmph!" Fang Yun saw that Su Bai didn't pay attention to him, his expression was slightly angry, and when he was about to have a seizure, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and then handed the teacup containing tea on the round table to Fang Decai, and then stared at Su Bai playfully.

I saw that on the rocking chair, the obese Fang Decai reached out to take the tea handed over by Fang Yun, put it to his mouth and tasted it gently, as his mouth smacked, the horizontal flesh on his face also trembled, looking very ugly.

"Su Bai, you have grown a lot of confidence recently, and you dare to talk to me in this tone. Fang Decai's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tiny eyes shot a cloudy light.

"Puff!" The teacup in Fang Decai's hand suddenly shot towards Su Bai, and the surging spiritual power made a soft sound in the air.

"Smack!", the teacup hit Su Bai's left sternum, and in an instant, Su Bai didn't have time to feel the pain caused by the teacup, and his whole body was knocked away by the huge impact brought by the teacup, and then slammed heavily on the wooden door.

"Boom!"

The entire wooden door shook violently, and a wisp of scarlet blood overflowed from the corner of Su Bai's mouth.

"How is it? How does it feel, it's very comfortable, isn't it?" Fang Decai did not hide his contempt for Su Bai, his fingers lightly tapped on the armrest of the rocking chair and sneered: "I don't know the height of the sky, don't think that with Lu Xiaochen behind you to support you, you can provoke Lao Tzu unscrupulously." ”

The cultivation realm of the Zhongzhou Continent can be roughly divided into: Quenching Pulse, Innate Nature, Apocalypse, Yun Dan, Yuan Infant and so on, and each realm is divided into nine small realms.

At the edge of the door, Su Bai listened to Fang Decai's words, a sharp cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes, this seemed like a simple blow, but he had already suffered a minor injury, Fang Decai was a fivefold cultivation of the Apocalypse, and he himself was only quenching the pulse threefold, the gap between the two was too big!

"Fang Decai, what do you want?" Su Bai stood up tremblingly, raised the back of his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared at Fang Decai.

"Hmm, after being hit by Lao Tzu, you can still stand up!" Fang Decai showed a look of surprise, he had absolute confidence in his strength, even if a person from the innate realm was hit by the blow just now, at least he would be seriously injured, and this weak young man in his impression was only slightly injured, which really surprised him, Fang Decai thought that maybe he thought too much, and said: "What Lao Tzu wants, it depends on your performance, Fang Yun will give him something." ”

Next to him, Fang Yun pursed the corners of his mouth, smiled coldly, and with a "whoosh", he saw two items wrapped in spiritual light shooting towards Su Bai from Fang Yun's hands.

"Smack!" Su Bai stretched out his right hand to catch the two items flying in, and fixed his eyes to see that they were a bamboo slip and a token that looked like a wood but not a wood.

"This is the token to the second area of Hualing Mountain, and there is also a list of elixirs to be collected recorded in the bamboo slips, give you four days to get the medicine for Lao Tzu, otherwise you will know the consequences." Fang Decai gently patted his bulging belly and said with a cold smile.

Su Bai opened the bamboo slip and took a cursory look at the list of elixirs recorded in his eyes, his pupils shrank slightly, even if the elixir in it was an inner disciple who was good at collecting medicines, it was difficult to collect it all in four days, this Fang Decai was obviously setting himself a trap.

"Are you stupid?" Fang Decai frowned, and shouted impatiently: "What are you still doing standing here, don't get out of here!"

"Squeak... Squeak. The wooden door opened and closed twice, and Su Bai walked out of the room with a cold face.

"Uncle and nephew of the Fang family, you two have another account today. Su Bai slowly exhaled a turbid breath and walked out along the stairs.

On the way, the three-inch small trees in Su Bai's dantian swayed gently, and wisps of vitality permeated out, repairing all his injuries.

......

"Hahaha...... This is the genius who once stood above the clouds, but that's it!" Fang Yun's smug laughter spread throughout the room.

"Since he stole Song Shao's limelight during the entrance assessment three years ago, some things have been doomed, if it weren't for Lu Xiaochen's reliance on being a genius favored by the top of the sect and protecting Su Bai many times, would he have survived until now?" Fang Decai's face showed a touch of disdain.

"Hehe, what my uncle said is that three years ago, Su Bai still wanted to be friends with me, but I didn't know that I was just playing with him at that time, thinking back to how ridiculous it was when he was knocked to the ground by me and questioned me with an unbelievable expression. The corners of Fang Yun's mouth bent slightly, revealing a smug smile, what an exciting thing it was to be able to trample the young man who had once stood at the top under his feet!

"He Su Bai can't complete this mission no matter what, as long as the four-day period has passed, I will put him on a charge of stealing the elixir, and at that time, no matter how much Lu Xiaochen is favored by the top level of the sect, he will not be able to protect Su Bai. Fang Decai lay on his back in a rocking chair and made a "creaking" sound.

"Uncle is clever, Su Bai's waste wood can't be imagined in any case, his death is approaching. Fang Yun complimented.

"No, that's not something I came up with. Fang Decai shook his head, took a sip of tea, and said, " It is Song Shao's meaning, the token that enters and exits the second-floor area of Hualing Mountain is also given by Song Shao, the entry assessment three years ago, Song Shao is determined to win, who wants to kill Su Bai and Lu Xiaochen halfway, can only be forced to succumb to the third, Lu Xiaochen has the attention of the high-level of the sect, Song Shao can't move for the time being, but this Su Bai, who has become a waste wood, will never let go, now the Song family is in full swing in the Qing Dynasty, the future of you and my uncle and nephew depends on Song Shao's words, and the things he confessed, of course, must be done well. ”

"Haha...... As long as Uncle helps Song Shao get rid of Su Bai this time, your position in the outer gate will be more stable. Fang Yunxi was overjoyed, Su Bai's life was just a mustard in his eyes, and if he died, he would die, it was no big deal.

"Well, let's wait for the good news in four days. Fang Decai slowly closed his eyes, the rocking chair swayed slightly, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he imagined the scene when he was in power.
