Cangshan Prefecture City is not too far from Zhenyuan City, and ordinary warriors can reach it within two days, even if it is by carriage, it is only five or six days' effort.

But Huo Xiu's trip took more than ten days. During this period, he traveled around the mountains and rivers and seemed to be amusement everywhere.

However, during this period, Huo Xiu also took the opportunity to completely refine the Yuan Spirit Fruit given by the Lord of Confucius when he left.

He opened up the meridians of his left arm and broke through to the realm of the late stage of the Qi Control Realm.

At the same time, Huo Xiu felt more and more that the kung fu in his hands was weak, but he couldn't afford the Xuan-rank combat skills at all, and all the Zhenyuan Martial Mansion could provide was the yellow-rank combat skills.

Huo Xiu would rather continue to wait than focus on that rather ordinary combat technique.

Finally, more than ten days later, Huo Xiu finally returned to Zhenyuan City.

At this time, the news that he had won two games in a row at the Demon Eradication Conference had already spread in Zhenyuan City. Although he did not win three games in a row, he won the attention of the Nanshan Sect. But such a record is already the best level in the past two or three years.

It was Huo Xiu who was not idle, and was always asked by others about the situation at the Demon Eradication Conference. He was not bored either, he always answered all the questions, and from time to time it was revealed that he had stumbled upon a strange fragment on his return, which looked like some kind of powerful combat skill.

This also made everyone marvel at Huo Xiu's excellent luck, and he could even pick up good things when he traveled to the mountains and rivers.

However, in a few days, everyone knew about Huo Xiu's condition.

In the past few days, Huo Xiu has been trying to find Mu Lao to exchange the rewards for the second stage of the task, but he was told that Mu Lao and Lynch had gone out together, so he had to temporarily dispel this idea.

And in a remote house in Zhenyuan City, it suddenly became lively, and there was always a person coming in and out, as if he was busy with something.

On this day, this man appeared again in the house. He seemed to be in such a hurry that he didn't even knock on the door, and went straight in.

"Back to Hall Master Zhao, I have already found out that the fragment in the hand of that kid named Huo Xiu looks like this. ”

As he spoke, the one-eyed man handed over a piece of paper with a pattern on it.

This one-eyed man is none other than Ali of the Black Evil Gate.

After Hall Master Zhao took it, he looked at it carefully a few times before slowly raising his head.

"Ali, what do you think of this stuff?"

Ali arched his hand and said, "Returning to the hall master, I haven't seen the fragment in Huo Xiu's hand, but I have just drawn it according to what everyone said. Rao is so, or is it eighty or ninety percent similar to the fragment you showed me. ”

Hall Master Zhao nodded, without words.

Seeing this, Ali continued: "Hall Master Zhao, I still have something to report to you. It is said that Huo Xiu did not get the fragment locally. Instead, I accidentally picked it up on the way back from Cangshan Prefecture. ”

"Good!"

Hall Master Zhao slapped the handrail and shouted.

A hint of incomprehension flashed in Ah Li's eyes, and he looked at Hall Master Zhao with a puzzled face.

At this time, Hall Master Zhao had already walked over and patted Ali on the shoulder.

"Ali, well done. In fact, there is one thing I haven't been able to tell you, and that is that Ling Yu, who holds the fragment, did not disappear from us, but disappeared inexplicably on the way to Cangshan Prefecture City. In other words, this fragment cannot be found here, only on the way to Cangshan Prefecture. I didn't tell you before, because I was afraid that you would be deceived by others. ”

Ali hurriedly said yes and praised Hall Master Zhao for his thoughtfulness. Then he questioned again.

"Hall Master Zhao, since it's almost decided, let's go straight to it. ”

Hall Master Zhao shook his head and said softly, "That kid named Huo Xiu couldn't know the secret of the fragment at all, he just regarded it as a fragment of his combat skills. But he is a student of Zhenyuan Martial Mansion, and there is no guarantee that the lord and head of Zhenyuan Martial Mansion will be interested in this. In other words, the fragment may not be on Huo Xiu's body. Ali, your task now is to find out where the fragments are, and you must not act rashly and startle the snake. ”

Ali hurriedly accepted the task and left quickly.

What happened at this time was just as Hall Master Zhao had predicted. As soon as Mu Lao and Lin Qi returned, they immediately summoned Huo Xiu and asked him about obtaining the fragments.

Huo Xiu didn't explain much, just deduced that he had picked it up by accident. When he had finished speaking, he took out the fragments.

Lynch's gaze was instantly attracted by the fragment, and it was not until Huo Xiu put away the fragment that he reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

Lynch frowned and glanced at Mu Lao.

Mu Lao comprehended and smiled indifferently: "Huo Xiu, if the old man's expectations are good, the pattern on the jet-black iron sheet should be some kind of forbidden." With your strength, it's hard to open, so it's better to leave this fragment to me to deal with. ”

The corners of Huo Xiu's mouth raised, and he said with a smile: "Muzhang Yuan, it is very likely that there is some kind of extremely powerful combat skill in this fragment, are you sure to lift the ban? Don't be self-defeating." ”

Mu Lao's beard trembled, and he scolded with a smile: "You kid, you are really a broomstick." Anyway, you did a very good job at the Demon Eradication Conference this time, only winning two battles and not seeking a third victory. This Xuan-level mid-grade combat skill is given to you, so take it as compensation. However, this combat skill is very domineering, so don't be too ambitious. ”

The super mission system wasted no time in reminding Huo Xiu that he had successfully completed the second stage of the mission and gained 40,000 skill points.

However, Huo Xiu didn't care, his gaze was already completely attracted by the scroll. Although it was not opened, it was written on it with the Vajra Mahamudra.

This was exactly the combat skill that Huo Xiu desperately needed.

Huo Xiu carefully put away his combat skills, then took out the fragments and handed them to Mu Lao.

Mu Lao took the fragment and observed it up and down for a long time, but he didn't see the reason, so he had to say with a dry smile: "Huo Xiu, this fragment is really a little weird, why don't you put it here with me first, and when I have some results, I will notify you in time." ”

Seeing this, Huo Xiu saluted, and then turned around and left.

As soon as he went out, Huo Xiu snickered in his heart. This fragment is a forgery, and it is impossible to research anything. It's just that the pattern on it is not made up, but completely copied from the prohibition on the undercover list. So at first glance, it's a bit strange.

At this time, in the grass hall, Lynch hooked his hand and motioned for Elder Mu to hand over the fragments.

Mu Lao smiled and said, "Lynch, I am only a shallow learner, and I really can't see through this thing." I don't know if you can get a glimpse or two of the realm of your clutch realm. ”

Lynch took the fragment and observed it for a long time before he said slowly: "The pattern on this is too weird, it seems to be forbidden but there is no aura, and further research is needed." ”

Mu Lao nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Lynch put away the fragments and asked Mu Lao, "Mu Lao'er, you and I have worked hard these days, can we succeed in reconfiguring the medicinal liquid specifically for Huo Xiu?"

Mu Lao stroked his beard and said proudly: "Don't worry, although I am not as good as you in cultivation, in terms of medicine, you can't catch up with me." This time, the potion was specially prepared for Huo Xiu, mainly following the previous one, and it was even more powerful, he would definitely not be able to resist the temptation. It just takes a little more time, about three to five days to complete. ”

Lynch's face turned cold, and he said impatiently: "Speed up, it's been more than a month since the last dose, and we don't have much time, we have to hurry." ”
