Ling Xia returned to Naught Prefecture, the journey was a little farther, and there was no news for the time being.

But the other people who walked around Miaozhou in the Ming Province Valley had already made some gains.

Within a few months, there have been a lot of children and teenagers with cultivation endowments in the valley of Ming Province, although at least half of them have the problem of mixed spiritual roots, and most of the remaining half of them have only medium qualifications, but there are really a few good seedlings who have endowed people with pure spiritual roots.

If placed in front of any sect, he will be willing to accept it as a good seedling for his disciples.

Xue Yun and Xiao Luo, as the valley masters of Ming Province Valley, were happy, but they couldn't help but feel puzzled.

The one who solved the doubts of the two was Yao Lan, who was born in Miaozhou.

"The two valley masters don't have to feel strange, if there is one place on the Kyushu continent that is most likely for us to pick up the leak, it is Miaozhou. Although there is not much attention paid to Yuanzhou, there are few people who settle in Yuanzhou's aura, and although the place is large, it is not very useful. At this point, Yao Lan paused slightly, remembering the secret place in Yuanzhou where their group accidentally stumbled into it and got benefits, really, before that, she really never thought that there could be such a magical secret realm in Yuanzhou, but...... It wasn't the point at this time, Yao Lan quickly came back to his senses and continued: "Here in Miaozhou, the aura is good, and it can produce good seedlings. ”

"If so, why ......"

"Because in the eyes of most monks, although Miaozhou's aura is acceptable, it has little other value. ”

"Oh?" Xue Yun and Xiao Luo glanced at each other, and continued to look at Yao Lan: "Why is there no other value?"

"After our Ming Province Valley was built, although everyone went out to try to find spiritual materials and hunt some demon beasts in exchange for spirit stone money, but ...... It's really barely enough to maintain our consumption in the valley, if it weren't for Xiao Gu's main formation to really leave, whether it is to arrange the Spirit Gathering Array or the Mountain Protection Array, a lot of things have been saved, just with our little income, it would have been ...... a long time ago Ahem. ”

This Xue Yun has a little bit of a number in his heart.

After all, before Xiao Luo came back, although Wen Ning and Yao Lan helped, she picked up the affairs in the valley single-handedly.

But......

“...... Everyone put their own safety first, and they did not go deep into the mountains and forests, nor did they stay far from the valley station. Could it be that the whole Miaozhou ......"

Yao Lan smiled and nodded: "Yes, it is worthy of our Xue Gu Master, it is thorough at one point, he is really smart, hehe." ”

“......”

Xue Yun was speechless, but Xiao Luo on the side chuckled twice.

Set up the mountain gate of the valley of Ming Province and became the lord of the valley, with up and down, many people in the valley were a little more restrained when facing Xue Yuan. Except for Wen Ning, who has known Xue Yun and Xiao Luo for a long time, the most different is Yao Lan.

But after all, this is the right thing, Yao Lan didn't delay any longer, and continued:

"On the territory of our Miaozhou, although the aura is still good, there are some spiritual materials and elixirs that go deep into the mountains, but there are few traces of high-level demon beasts, and even if there are, they are all low-level, and they can't get back much spirit stone silver after hunting. There are no high-level demon beasts, and the elixir is not very easy to find, and it is of little value to those loose cultivators who rely on hunting demon beasts in exchange for cultivation materials. It is difficult to support yourself, and it is easy to sit and eat empty mountains when you stay in Miaozhou, and over time, there are few scattered cultivators on the boundary of Miaozhou, and most of them will leave to make a living in other state capitals even if they are born in Miaozhou. Therefore, there are few monks, and few people can find out about the seedlings who can practice scattered all over Miaozhou, if it is a child born in an ordinary Rao family, sometimes they may not know that they can practice until they die, and their lives will be wasted like this. ”

The family sect is based on blood, and those with foreign surnames have also defected to the past after achieving success, and they almost never train monks with foreign surnames. And most of the several sects on the Kyushu continent are also active in their own state capitals, or some of them are assessed to know that they have a foundation of cultivation and take the initiative to come to study. After becoming famous, he no longer went to other state capitals to find cultivation seedlings by himself, but waited for others to come to their own door to ask for it.

There are no great families in Miaozhou, and there are no top sect forces, and the scattered cultivators are not easy to find in the deep mountains because of the few rare elixirs of demon beasts, so they don't stay in Miaozhou much. Thereupon......

Most of the children who have cultivation endowments above Miaozhou, except for some cultivators in their families who know that they are endowed and send them to nearby sects, such as the Xuanqing Sect in Qingzhou or the Yin Sect in Yanzhou, are like Yao Lan, and they may not realize that they are endowed for the rest of their lives, and they live an ordinary life silently.

Xue Yun looked at Yao Lan: "You know the situation in Miaozhou best, when I chose to build Ming Province Valley here, I remember that you supported it." ”

Yao Lan smiled: "Hey, that's not us...... Ahem, I was very embarrassed at that time! Besides, let's flee to the south, and there are only three places to choose from: Cheongju, Miaozhou, and Nayanzhou, although Cheongju Naught is good, but there are Xuanqingmen and Yin Sect ...... against a fledgling force like ours."

Yao Lan is not finished, but everyone understands the meaning.

Xue Yun also sighed, Yao Lan was not wrong, this was also the concern she had at the beginning.

Get up, and they were also at that time, and there was no choice.

"So that's a good thing for us. Xiao Luo spoke, looking very relaxed with a smile on his face: "There may be many more 'Puyu' in this place in Miaozhou than we expected before, and it is the best foundation for our Ming Province Valley to stand. ”

"It's not!" Yao Lan smiled and responded: "These good seedlings are cheap for us now! Even if you don't go out of Miaozhou, you can probably find a lot." After a few days, the brothers and sisters in the valley will go out and go farther away, so that they can bring back more Rao. Is...... It is the ...... of our Ming Province Valley The second generation, right?"

Xiao Luo reached out and patted Xue Yuan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Look, we've grown up a lifetime." ”

Xue Yun glanced at Xiao Luo.

"Get up...... In the past two days, the children have just come in, and they have only settled down after testing their qualifications and spiritual roots. I don't know when I started teaching them to practice?"

Xue Yun frowned slightly and was groaning.

Xiao Luo opened his mouth and continued: "Although we have just built in the valley, everything must have a rule and rules, in two days, we will hold an introductory ceremony for those children, and then arrange for the school to be repaired after we have the identity of a serious disciple...... It's all good within the qi refining, and the method of inducing qi into the body is nothing special, and the other exercises are ...... It's not too late to talk about the toss of our life. ”

Yao Lan's brows relaxed, nodded and knew that this was a serious order, so she arched her hand towards Xiao Luo: "Okay, I know, go back and pull the sisters to think about the ceremony for the children." ”

After these things and receiving the task, Yao Lan left, and before leaving, she didn't forget to take a plate of snacks on the table, which was to tease Miao.

Since Shangguan Miao came, Wen Ning has not "fallen out of favor" in Yao Lan's eyes, Yao Lan has paid more attention to Shangguan Miao, a sister who is clearly soft and cute, but always likes to have a straight face, and her favorite is to hold the girl in her arms and rub it, watching people being "bullied" by herself to the point of tears and a serious expression.

At this time, only Wen Ning was still "never abandoned" by Shangguan Miao's side, trying to feed the tiger with his body to help share some of it......

After Yao Lan left, Xue Yuan looked at Xiao Luo:

"Xiao Luo, I want to ...... Respect Uncle Xiao as the founding master of the Ming Province Valley. ”

Xiao Luo was not surprised by Xue Yuan's proposal. In fact, after he took out the books and classics that Xiao Ding passed on to him, prepared to organize them into the collection of the Jing Pavilion in the Ming Province Valley, and selected some cultivation classics and exercises for everyone in the valley to practice and use, Xiao Luo knew that Xue Yuan would have this plan.

Xiao Luo is a casual cultivator, and Xiao Luo's master Xiao Ding is also a casual cultivator, but Xiao Ding is not an ordinary casual cultivator, I don't know what kind of background experience he has had, he has quite a lot of background, and he has a lot of books and classics. After Xiao Ding returned to the ground, he left all the magic weapons and books to his only disciple, Xiao Luo, and let him do things cheaply and dispose of them as he pleased.

In addition to the Xue family's exercises, Xue Yuan has also been taught by Xiao Ding since he was a child, so he was not restrained after he faked his death and left the Xue family and no longer used the Xue family's family heirloom spells. And with the power of the origin, especially after going to Jiujing in Nayan Prefecture once, Xue Yuan's cultivation method unconsciously moved closer to the concept vaguely obtained from Jiujing, and it was already a method of its own. It's just that although Xue Yuan's cultivation method is obtained from Jiujing, it is only applicable to her, who has the power of the origin, and it is inconvenient to teach it to everyone in the valley.

The valleys in Ming Province are all loose cultivators, and many people have no family lineage and no suitable high-level exercises, which is really ...... It is not conducive to the cohesion and enhancement of strength in the valley.

Xiao Luo's many books and classics in Xiao Ding's collection can solve this problem.

"Okay. Regarding Xue Yuan's proposal to make Xiao Ding the patriarch of Ming Province, Xiao Luo also bent his eyebrows and responded: "Master, if his old man has not been reincarnated, Huang Quanxia knows that the girl he used to tease and play in the past has suddenly given him a seniority, and he has made a steady stream of apprentices and grandchildren, and he may lose his eyes with laughter." ”

Xue Yun heard Xiao Luo smile like this, and stretched out his hand to pat him: "You're blind." Uncle Xiao has always been the most afraid of trouble, and he easily refuses to let people disturb his purity, and if he really wants to know, he may blow his beard and stare at him. But ......"

"Huh?"

"But if it's Uncle Shaw...... Maybe it'll be used to show off to my daddy, right?"

Xiao Luo stretched out his hand and grabbed Xue Yun's shoulder, and said softly, "...... Yes, the master will definitely hold the wine jug and squint his eyes to show off to Xue Shibo that his worth has risen all of a sudden......"

Xue Yun blinked, dissipating the sourness in his eyes, and slightly hooked the corners of his mouth: "Daddy must not admit defeat and want to quarrel with him......"

"Hmmm......"

The two snuggled up to each other and were silent for a long time, and when Xue Yuan completely woke up from the fragility brought by this moment of memory, and was lowering his head and slightly confused, Xiao Luo opened his mouth very intimately and talked about the topic, revealing the previous stubble.

Because Xiao Luo was also talking about the right thing, Xue Yuan quickly forgot his previous emotions and devoted himself to it.

"Yao Lan is just a rare high-level demon beast in Miaozhou, what do you think?"

Xue Yun pondered for a moment: "Since the establishment of the valley in Ming Province, I have only walked around the vicinity, and I have not gone far, and I have never seen the situation with my own eyes. But today, Yao Lanyi, I remembered that at that time, the money and silver materials that everyone obtained by hunting demon beasts by searching for spiritual materials were indeed ...... Some less. ”

"You were in Nayan Prefecture before, how did you feel?"

Xue Yun frowned slightly, and was also a little puzzled: "At that time, although I went to Nayan Prefecture as much as possible to avoid the dangerous places infested by many demon beasts, and walked in densely populated towns most of the time to inquire about the news, but ...... I have also encountered demon beasts a few times in the mountains and forests, and I have also seen other monks trading materials and even demon pills on demon beasts in the town, and they look good. There are many miasma poisonous insects in Naughty, and most of the demon beasts in Nautan are also contaminated, which can be seen from those materials. ”

Xiao Luo blinked: "I came from Qingzhou, but I avoided the crowds in the towns and chose places with few people." I have encountered several high-level demon beasts, and I have also met a disciple of the Xuanqing Sect hunting a seventh-order Zang Huo Eagle. ”

Xue Yun understood what Xiao Luo meant: "It is also in the south of Kyushu, Miaozhou is adjacent to Qingzhou in the west and Yanzhou in the east, and it is not as different from other state capitals as Yuanzhou, why ...... Everything is business as usual in Cheongju and the monsters are active, but Miaoju is ......"

"No, it's related to Miaozhou Jiujing?"

Xue Yun was stunned for a moment when he heard Xiao Luo's speculation, but after being stunned for a while, he felt that there might be some truth.

“...... The nine wells in Miaozhou, I am sure to find them, but ...... right now"

Xiao Luo reached out and rubbed Xue Yuan's hair: "It's not in a hurry, it's just a conjecture, or it may be something else." Now the people of Ming Province Valley are walking near Miaozhou to collect people, even Jiujing who doesn't know Jiujing, you can also try to find out, the family that has been circulating in Miaozhou for a long time, or other special news, there may be no clues. ”

"Hmm...... That's right, Xiao Luo. ”

"Huh?"

"When I asked everyone to walk out of the valley before, I asked them to find out the news related to Yuanzhou. But ......"

"Nothing?"

Xue Yuan looked up at him: "There is no movement here in Miaozhou. Either those people in the Feng family are hiding deeply, and a few of us can only detect the superficial rumors, or it is ......"

"The Feng family did not come to Miaozhou. ”

"Yes, I think so too. However, if it is the latter, it is a good thing for us, but I always feel that it is not very practical. ”

Xiao Luo sighed deeply.

"Xiao Luo?"

"When I got up, I had a strange feeling when I fled to Cheongju. Xiao Luo recalled in a deep voice: "There were fewer and fewer people chasing me, and they got farther and farther away, and then they disappeared and never appeared again." Get up...... It's not like I've been dumped off, it's more like ...... Cleaned up. ”

Xue Yun was taken aback: "You guess...... Who secretly took action and dealt with the Feng family's people who were chasing and killing us...... No, it may be more than that, it is to solve all the Feng family members who knew the situation at that time, so ......"

After all, if only the people who chased and killed Xiao Luo were solved, then at least the people who stayed behind would know that someone had escaped and failed to catch up, and even folded the men and horses who were chasing him. If this is the case, the Feng family's investigation in the surrounding area can only be greater.

"So it's very likely that the Feng family's side didn't know the exact situation at that time, and for them, they just had a broken manpower that should have been stationed in Dingyuan City, Yuanzhou, but they didn't know about our existence. ”

That's why there was no further investigation and hunting in other state capitals.

If their guess is correct......

The focus of the Feng family's investigation of this matter was still placed in Yuanzhou, where I didn't know what was going on.

But...... Is there really such a person who secretly helps, and what is their purpose? Are they friend or foe?
