Chapter 24: Dancing with Demons

After getting out of the car, Huo Xiu didn't go too far. He stood on the side of the road, watching the carriage disappear into the pre-dawn darkness.

I don't know when we will see each other today. Huo Xiu had to enter the Nanshan Sect in order to get this opportunity.

Huo Xiu silently summoned the super task system, and the results of the mission of good and evil in a thought had already appeared, but he had never had a chance to check it.

"Notice: Since the host took the initiative to give up the recruitment of the Nanshan Sect, the mission of good and evil will only end in a thought, and the skill points will be deducted ninety. Increases skill points by 10,000 points. ”

"Notice: The host failed to help Ling Yu join his fellow masters, and the mission failed. ”

At the end of the mission, you can still get some skill points. If you fail the mission, you'll have nothing.

Huo Xiu's cognition of this super task system has increased by a few points. However, despite the suspension of the mission, he still got 10,000 skill points, and it seems that this task of entering the Nanshan Sect is indeed rewarding.

But Huo Xiu didn't regret it, at least he gave Ling Yu a chance to do it again, so that he wouldn't fall into the endless abyss and never have a chance to come out.

As for Huo Xiu, he can still choose to pass the selection of the Martial Mansion and win the opportunity to enter the Nanshan Sect, but this road is too bumpy.

Now, all Huo Xiu has to do is to improve his strength as soon as possible.

Huo Xiu is 15 years old this year, and he is in the early stage of the Qi Control Realm.

If you want to enter the Nanshan Sect, you have to reach the Breakthrough Realm before the age of 17, and then fight on the front line of the 100,000 Great Mountains for a whole year, which is the bottom line for entering the Nanshan Sect.

In other words, Huo Xiu had to break through the Qi Control Realm and reach the Penetration Realm within two years, which was really difficult.

Huo Xiu thought about it, opened the system panel, and checked his current status.

Name: Huo Xiu

Identity: A student of Baicao Garden, the lower courtyard of Zhenyuan Wufu

Realm: The early stage of the Qi Control Realm

Battle Spirit 1: Super Devouring Battle Spirit

Battle Spirit 2: Six-grade cold spirit and war spirit

Exercises: None

Combat Skills: Xuan-rank Lower-grade Combat Skills Cold Tobacco Legs

Skill points: 10000

Status: Except for the legs, the meridians around the body are blocked by cold. Absorb the cold qi in the meridians, and you will improve the level of cold qi fighting spirit.

Quest Item: Mystic Jade Pendant (The host realm is too low to be opened temporarily)

Mission: None

Huo Xiu carefully looked at his state, except for the fact that the mysterious jade pendant could not be opened because the realm was too low, his biggest problem at present was that he did not have cultivation techniques.

It is fundamental for a martial artist to want to improve the realm and increase the true qi in the dantian, but he can't be blind.

Increasing True Qi by consuming a large amount of various fairy grass spirit fruits is often not ideal.

The reason is that the true qi of the martial artist has not been refined, but only a simple increase in quantity, and has not caused a qualitative leap.

If left unchecked, the excess true qi will gradually dissipate, and in the end, these hard-won immortal grass spirit fruits will be wasted.

The exercises are the methods used by martial artists to refine the true qi, by guiding the true qi to circulate in the meridians, constantly refining and purifying, and finally increasing the true qi in the dantian and promoting to the next realm.

Like the combat skills, the exercises are also divided into four grades, Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, although the advanced exercises can better temper the true qi, but they are extremely rare, and ordinary martial artists can only choose to cultivate the exercises of the Yellow Rank.

Huo Xiu is now facing the same dilemma. If he hadn't been expelled by the Huo family, after he was promoted to the Qi Control Realm, he would have been able to practice the Huo family's Xuan-rank lower grade exercises.

But now that this path has been cut off, Huo Xiu has no money to buy expensive Xuan-rank exercises, so he can only choose from the yellow-rank exercises provided by Zhenyuan Martial Mansion.

In this way, the effect of refining true qi will be greatly reduced, and the speed of realm ascension will also be greatly affected.

Huo Xiu couldn't help but frown. Suddenly, a hint of joy appeared on his face, but soon he was sad again.

Huo Xiu had already remembered that before leaving Zhenyuan Martial Mansion, Mu Lao, the head of Baicao Garden, had promised that he seemed to want to give him a copy of the Xuanyin Sutra of the Xuanyin Sutra.

Huo Xiu was in a hurry to get permission to leave Zhenyuan Wu Mansion at that time, and he didn't care about Mu Lao's wooing. Now that I have tasted it carefully, it seems to make some sense.

Mu Lao made it clear, he was very aware of the existence of cold qi in Huo Xiu's body, so he recommended the Xuanyin Sutra. Although I don't know the specific effect, judging from the name alone, it is very suitable for Huo Xiu's cultivation with cold and fighting spirit.

And it is very important that the exercises are consistent with the attributes of the fighting spirit.

As the foundation of a warrior's combat power, the level and attributes of a warrior directly affect the combat effectiveness of a warrior.

The battle spirit is divided into nine grades, arranged from the highest to the bottom, which are from the first to the ninth grade.

In terms of attributes, the battle spirit can be roughly divided into utensils, animals, plants and trees, and elements.

As a battle spirit that directly affects the combat power of a warrior, its grade and attributes almost determine how far a warrior's martial arts path can go. Especially after entering the Qi Control Realm, the special abilities possessed by the Battle Spirit can be of great help to the martial artist.

Among them, the elemental battle spirit is usually listed as the middle and third grades because of its great bonus to the true qi of the warrior, and the special elements can even be ranked among the upper three grades. Huo Xiu's current cold qi battle spirit belongs to the elemental battle spirit.

Correspondingly, because of the limited help to martial artists, the grass and tree battle spirit can only be included in the middle three grades at most, and even most of them are the lower three grades, and the grass battle spirit before Huo Xiu is the ninth rank of the lowest rank in the lower three grades.

As for the grade of other types of fighting spirits, it is necessary to analyze specific problems on a case-by-case basis. However, because the warriors of the Southern Regions are on the front line of fighting against the demon clan all year round, their descendants mostly have animal and artifact battle spirits. The rest are basically garbage grass and tree battle spirits, and as for the owners of elemental war spirits, like other regions, they are all one in ten thousand.

After Huo Xiu got the Super Quest System Starter Gift Pack, he already had both the Super Devouring Battle Spirit and the Sixth Rank Cold Qi Battle Spirit.

Among them, Devouring Spirits is mainly used to devour and control other Spirits, and has no direct combat effectiveness. And what currently affects Huo Xiu's combat power is his six-rank cold qi fighting spirit.

Although this grade is not high, there is a possibility of upgrading, which is enough for Huo Xiu to cope with the situation in front of him.

The fly in the ointment is that Huo Xiu did not practice the corresponding exercises, whether it is in the promotion realm or in terms of exerting combat power, there is still great room for improvement.

Getting the Xuanyin Sutra from Mu Lao's hands seems to have become Huo Xiu's best choice at present. Otherwise, if you cultivate exercises that do not match your battle spirit attributes, you will only get twice the result with half the effort.

"Mu Lao and I are not related to each other, as soon as we meet, we will give you the Xuanjie lower grade exercises, which must be tricky. But I don't have a better choice but to be careful. After the strength improves, let's see what tricks that old man plays. ”

Huo Xiu touched his nose, greeted the first rays of sunlight in the morning, and walked briskly in the direction of Zhenyuan City.
