4. Nurturing grace

Since the complete activation of the super brain, Gao Jie has shrunk in the Miscellaneous Labor Valley and practiced the art of refining the body desperately, for a whole month, he came back from the miscellaneous labor every day, which was a retreat and hard practice.

Although the days of closed-door penance are a bit boring, this is just a trivial matter for Gao Jie, who is determined to pursue martial arts.

Entering the Xuanwu Palace, the ridicule he suffered this year made him clearly know how important power is on this continent...

Although the days were hard, the results achieved by cultivation were surprising.

Using the crystal coin polished by the crystal spirit to practice the art of body refining, the effect is far better than Gao Jie's expectations.

Originally, he thought that even with the help of spirit crystal cultivation, Gao Jie would need at least half a year to reach the Yuan Qi realm of the first realm of the physical body, but he didn't expect that it only took him half a month to reach this realm...

In this regard, even Gao Jie himself couldn't help but be amazed by this cultivation speed.

After all, this speed is too fast!

You must know that the cultivation of the first realm of the three realms of the physical body is particularly difficult to cultivate, and there are not a few people who spend one, two, or even ten years...

Even those legendary martial arts geniuses would have to take at least a few months, and in comparison with the before and after, Gao Jie's ability to reach the realm of the flesh in half a month is indeed a bit terrifying.

Standing up from the ground, Gao Jie looked back at the spirit crystal powder on the ground, and muttered in a low voice: "If people know that I use crystal spirits to cultivate the art of body refining, I'm afraid that it will make people jump immediately!"

After all, the spirit crystal is something that only supernatural martial artists are qualified to enjoy, and the martial artists of the three realms of the physical body, let alone cultivating with spirit crystals, I am afraid that they are rarely seen.

"Young Master, the second young lady has been released, let's go to the Valley of Forgetfulness now. ”

An old voice came, Gao Jie was slightly stunned, pushed open the door, and saw an old man with white hair standing outside the door.

The old man was wearing a well-fitting dress, looking at Gao Jie's eyes, without the slightest anger, as if looking at a piece of wood.

Obviously, this old man is the kind that is completely disappointed in Gao Jie.

After a year of getting along, Gao Jie knew that this was the old man who followed him into the Xuanwu Palace's mansion as a handyman, and he was the old housekeeper of the Gao family, the third year of high school.

As for why the original owner and this old butler entered the Xuanwu Palace's mansion to do miscellaneous servants, this is a long story!

Judging from the memory of the original owner, the Gao family used to operate sea trade and fishing, and was also in charge of a sea trade route.

It seems to be good, a superior family background, and a great future.

Unfortunately, this is all in the past tense.

Speaking of which, the original owner is really unlucky, the family is young, food and clothing are not worried, and when you are leisurely, you can also adjust the girl of a good family.

But there were unforeseen circumstances, but his father, who ran a sea trade business, had an accident.

An ocean storm engulfed his father's fleet, and all 385 people, including Gao Yuanli, were spared, and not only did they sink their priceless goods in the sea, but they also owed a lot of debts, and even the sea trade route was lost.

This was a real disaster, and the entire Gao family was turned upside down.

All the real estate owned by the Gao family was emptied by those creditors almost overnight.

And every day there are creditors who keep coming to the door to collect debts, the original owner who has lost his financial resources, can no longer continue his life as a young master, he had to let the old housekeeper take himself to hide in the Xuanwu Mansion on a windy and dark night, one is to avoid trouble and escape debts, and the other is to find a place to land.

The third year of high school, nominally the old housekeeper of the Gao family, but in fact, he was the life and death brother of the original owner's father on the battlefield.

Therefore, after the accident of the Gao family, all the servants ran and fled, and only the third year of high school stayed.

"Third uncle. Gao Jie laughed awkwardly.

In front of this old housekeeper, Gao Jie was unconsciously a little restrained.

Because, after the accident of the Gao family, it has always been this senior who has been taking care of Gao Jie.

If Gao Jie still has some respect for anyone in this world, it is only for this senior year.

"Let's go, the old slave finally heard the news of the second lady's exit, let's not miss it!"

The senior nodded, didn't say anything, and walked out of the room with a blank expression.

Gao Jie scrupulated, smiled bitterly, and followed Gao San out of the Miscellaneous Servant Valley, because he knew what Gao San was taking him to do.

Because strictly speaking, he can only be regarded as reserve miscellaneous servants, that is, miscellaneous servants who have not yet been regularized.

Now, the two-year probationary period will expire, and if he can't pass the assessment anymore and become a regular miscellaneous servant, he will be expelled from the Xuanwu Palace.

Now although Gao Jie already has the strength to pass the formal miscellaneous assessment, he doesn't want to show it yet, after all, it's about super brains, and his previous image is useless, and he doesn't like to practice.

If you rashly let others know that you have the strength of the first realm of the physical body in just half a month, others may not suspect anything, but this old butler who has been with the original owner for more than ten years will definitely have doubts!

If it is considered to be possessed by the devil, and then invite a martial artist with magical powers to check it, Gao Jie is really not sure that he can hide the past......

Therefore, when he didn't want to show his strength, and he didn't want to be kicked out of the Xuanwu Mansion because he couldn't pass the assessment, he could only let the old housekeeper in front of him help him solve this matter.

The Xuanwu Palace's Mansion was located on a huge island, with one hundred and eight valleys on the island, and the Valley of Despair they were going to was a hundred miles away from the Valley of Miscellaneous Servants.

The old man walked with Gao Jie for most of the day before he appeared under a huge mountain peak.

The giant peak is majestic and beautiful, majestic and straight, and the clouds are only halfway up the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain stands a stone mountain, which is more than hundreds of zhang high and dozens of zhang wide.

The black stone mountain is full of the vicissitudes of time.

Directly above the stone mountain, there are three vigorous characters engraved - Forget the Valley of Love!

"Heaven is ruthless, too forgetful, forgetful, transcendent. ”

When the old man saw this stone mountain, he thought of the peerless demeanor of the second young lady, and forgot to glance at the young man beside him, thinking of his unbearable martial arts talent, but he sighed softly.

The Xuanwu Palace, which is based on the sect, advocates humanity and does not take people as slaves.

Therefore, all those who join the Xuanwu Mansion are commensurate with senior brothers, junior sisters, and junior sisters.

The disciples of the Xuanwu Palace, from low to high, are divided into six levels: reserve miscellaneous service, formal miscellaneous service, outer disciple, inner disciple, core disciple, and true disciple.

At the beginning of the entry, regardless of identity or talent, they were all reserve miscellaneous soldiers, and practiced the most basic introductory exercises of the Xuanwu Palace.

Those with high qualifications can be promoted to official handymen in ten or half months; ordinary people can take two or three months to take this step; no matter how poor their understanding is, it should be enough to spend seven or eight months.

However, the young man next to him has been two years, but he has never been able to cross this threshold, and now he is only a reserve miscellaneous soldier of the Xuanwu Palace!

And next month is the day when the two-year reserve miscellaneous service expires, if they are expelled from the Xuanwu Palace, where will they go?

The old man remembered what the young man around him had done over the years, and he was silent for a while, and when he thought of the second young lady who had become a core disciple of the Xuanwu Palace, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

"What a tall mountain!" Gao Jie didn't pay attention to the look on the old man's face at all, looked at the giant peak in front of him with a shocked face, and secretly exclaimed: "Even the first peak on the earth is less than one percent of this giant peak!"

The old man did not take Gao Jie into the main gate of the valley, but walked on an ancient road at the corner of the mountain gate, the ancient road is not long, about hundreds of meters, with the old man's footsteps, he soon arrived at the location of a valley.

This is where the second lady lives......

The core disciples of the Xuanwu Palace, each of them is the treasure bump of the palace, and their status is not even below the children of the palace, and they have the right to open mountains and valleys in the palace.

The two of them walked all the way, and after a while, they came to the entrance of the valley.

The old man was taking Gao Jie into the valley by himself, when he suddenly heard a cold voice behind him say, "Third uncle, why did you bring him again?"

Gao Jie's heart was shocked when he heard this voice, and when he turned around, he saw an extremely beautiful girl standing behind them, dressed in white like snow, and the cold in her eyes was as piercing as frost, and it was as shining as two crystal jade.

Gao Jie dared to swear to God, this was the most charming pair of eyes he had ever seen in his life.

The old man turned around and said sadly: "Second Miss, you have been in retreat for the past year, so you don't know that those people almost beat your brother to death this time!"

Hearing this, Gao Jie's face was slightly weird, it happened from time to time that he was forced to pay debts this year, but he was beaten up but it never happened once.

The reason why the old man said that he Gao Jie was so miserable was that he was afraid that it was also to win the sympathy of the girl in front of him.

This girl in white is Gao Jie's sister, that is, the second lady of the Gao family, Qianye.

The old man brought the original owner to ask for help more than once or twice.

Qianye is the righteous daughter adopted by Gao Yanli, but Gao Yanli raised her since she was a child, and she is no different from her own daughter, but since Qianye joined the Xuanwu Palace, after practicing the Forgetfulness Record, she has reached the realm of Taishang Forgetfulness, so although she saw her brother come to see her, there was no expression on her face.

Gao Jie heard the old man call her "Second Miss", and knew that the beautiful girl in front of him was the little sister in his name, and he was even more surprised.

It must be known that the girl in front of her has only been in the Xuanwu Palace's mansion for two years, and she has been able to be promoted from a reserve miscellaneous soldier all the way to a core disciple, and her cultivation talent is terrifying, and she is only afraid of being appalling.

Although Gao Jie didn't know the difficulty of the promotion of the disciples of the Xuanwu Palace, he knew that he, the original owner, had spent two years, and now there was only one reserve miscellaneous soldier.

As if he knew what Gao Jie was thinking, Qianye slowly raised his head and glanced at him Xuexue, Gao Jie couldn't help but feel a sudden in his heart when he saw her eyes as clear as autumn water and cold as ice.

Qianye looked at the old man and said, "Third uncle, did you just want to tell me that he was beaten again?"

The old man sighed and said, "Second Miss, the master has never begged you for anything until he died, but today I want to ask you for something for the dead master, and you have to agree if you agree, and you have to agree if you don't agree." ”

Qianyexiu frowned slightly, and said, "What do you want me to do?"

The old man nodded, pointed at Gao Jie, and said word by word: "The eldest young master is now the only bloodline of the master in this world......

Qianye nodded and said, "I know ...... this."

The old man didn't wait for her to finish, and suddenly raised his voice and said, "Then shouldn't you repay the old man's nurturing kindness?"

Qianye hesitated: "The grace of nurturing?"

The old man said sharply: "Second Miss, that year's winter snow, if it weren't for the master, you would have frozen to death on the side of the road, isn't it the master who single-handedly made you and made you this martial arts saint? What have you repaid the master? Now I am not difficult for the second miss, the eldest young master's two-year reserve miscellaneous service period is about to expire, as long as you let the eldest young master be promoted to the official miscellaneous servant of the Wuxuan Palace!"

Qianye was originally not a person of many words, because her practice of the mind is biased towards the path of tranquility and dust, but after all, it is not a real Dacheng, reaching the realm of transcending the world and all things, at this time, listening to the old man's loud shout, she finally couldn't help but look at Gao Jie, looking at that somewhat familiar face, unconsciously a little lost.

She is now a core disciple of the Xuanwu Palace, and her status is extremely noble, but at the same time, there are countless pairs of eyes looking at her behind her, and the brother in front of her is not only too poor in cultivation, but also old, and the bone root has been finalized, such a mediocre person, if he wants to become the official miscellaneous servant of the Xuanwu Palace, he can only use those real heavenly treasures to pile up.

But those legendary heavenly treasures, the Xuanwu Palace's mansion would never be able to issue them to a reserve like Gao Jie, because it was too extravagant and too wasteful.

If a part of the heavenly treasures that belong to her are assigned to Gao Jie, not to mention that once this matter is leaked, she will be punished by the palace, and this will also have a great impact on her cultivation.

Although she is a core disciple of the palace, on the surface, her identity is precious and the scenery is infinite, but only these core disciples know that there are no less than 1,000 core disciples in the palace, and the competition is extremely inspiring.

What made her even more embarrassed was that she didn't know how many heavenly and earthly treasures she had to consume in order to help her useless brother be promoted to become a reserve servant of the palace.

Once this amount is beyond her bearing, then I am afraid that her status in the sect will be in an unprecedented crisis, which is really a difficult decision for her to make!

You know, before she went into retreat, the resources she had sprinkled on this brother were enough to train ten, if not dozens, of full-fledged servants.

But now her brother is still a reserve servant, because it can be seen that the resources he gave him before were not used by his brother on the right path of cultivating martial arts at all, but were exchanged for silver money by him to eat, drink and have fun!

Such a brother, she really doesn't want to see her from the bottom of her heart!

But thinking of her father's nurturing grace, a complicated feeling flashed in her heart, she bit her lower lip with her upper teeth, and said, "Okay, I promise you, you will follow me into the valley." ”

With the slender figure of the thousand nights, he walked slowly.
