The moon is like water, the breeze is gentle, and the lights of the silent Wohu Valley are flickering, full of the atmosphere of late spring.

In the Loyal Academy, Gu Xuan didn't really make fun of anything, and changed the topic: "How many subordinates are there in this courtyard?"

Nangong Yan said: "There are only eight maidservants, with white skin and beautiful appearance, each performing their own duties. One of them, a maidservant in the late stage of the Zeni Realm, is in charge of teaching me to practice. ”

Gu Xuan chuckled: "This is the treatment that the chief disciple should have." ”

Nangong Yan glanced at Gu Xuan, and suddenly his expression was correct: "I understand your concerns, but this place is not the Longtan Tiger's Den, you are resting in the guest room, and I visited the ancestor overnight." If the ancestor has not returned, let's take care of it. ”

Gu Xuan nodded, followed Nangong Yan to the guest room, and sighed secretly.

Thinking that at the beginning, Nangong Yan went to Ximen Villa to challenge, which can be described as swaggering and boiling.

In contrast, when he came to the Nangong family, he was sneaky and unsightly, like stealing chickens and dogs.

Nangong Yan took Gu Xuan to the West Wing and opened the door with his own hands: "You wait a while, I'll come when I go." ”

"Please. ”

The guest was as he pleased, and Gu Xuan didn't light the lamp, but walked directly to the bed, sat cross-legged on it, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Closing the door, Nangong Yan turned around and sent a voice to a dark corner: "Yingluo, always pay attention to the guest room, the person inside is my son's honored guest, no one is allowed to disturb him." ”

As soon as the words fell, a woman's voice sounded in Nangong Yan's ears: "Don't worry, Childe, Sakura Luo understands." ”

Nangong Yan nodded with satisfaction, stretched his fingers into his mouth, and blew a whistle, and the Wind Feather Eagle soon flew from a distance.

......

In less than two hours, there was a knock on the door, and Gu Xuan, who had been meditating and pranayama, opened his eyes and said, "Please come in." ”

With a creak, the door was ajar, and Nangong Yan stepped in and closed the carved wooden door with his backhand: "I've been waiting for a long time." ”

Gu Xuan looked at Nangong Yan, didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "How?"

Nangong Yan lit candles and sandalwood one by one, and said casually: "This tone sounds impatient, in the dark, you won't be scared to pee, right?"

Gu Xuan got out of bed and twisted his limbs, pressed his fingers crossed, and his knuckles gurgled: "It seems that tomorrow you will have to write a challenge book, and you will be looking for teeth all over the ground." ”

"Don't. Nangong Yan sat down, "When this son goes out next time, he will definitely compete with you again." ”

"What is there to fight for male and female?" Gu Xuan also sat down, "Young Master Ben is naturally a male, and it is an indisputable fact. ”

Nangong Yan stopped at the right time, and didn't say any more: "The ancestor of this family returned the day before yesterday, and through the relationship of Emperor Xi, he has obtained a boiling blood pill in Xixuanzong, and my second uncle has not taken it yet." When the ancestor heard about the four-grade blood demon Yuannu, he asked Empress Xi and agreed to exchange with you. ”

This trip was originally made by Nangong Yan on his own initiative, and he swore to invite Gu Xuan to come, but after this guy said this, it seemed that Gu Xuan came to the door by himself.

Gu Xuan didn't care, and asked with a smile: "Where is the Boiling Blood Pill?"

Nangong Yan immediately took out a wooden box, put it on the table, and then opened the lid of the box, and there was a red pill as red as blood lying inside.

The common pill is only the size of an adult's eyeball, but this pill is two or three times the size of an eyeball, and the texture on the surface is like a distant mountain, which is beautiful.

Gu Xuan only glanced at it slightly, and he felt the blood boiling all over his body, as if it was about to swell, and quickly looked away.

Wang Mang spoke up: "The old man has never seen the Boiling Blood Pill, I don't think there will be a fake, this Pill is worth exchanging." ”

Nangong Yan didn't look at the pill, and when he saw Gu Xuan's strange look, he immediately pushed the lid of the box tightly.

Gu Xuan took out the jade box prepared in advance and also put it on the table: "Inside the box is the blood owl yuan core." ”

Nangong Yan said solemnly: "The stakes are very high, I have to see with my own eyes." ”

Gu Xuan naturally had no objections, and the two of them pushed casually, and the wooden box and the jade box slid on the table, exchanging directions.

Nangong Yan held down the jade box and gently rubbed it a few times before opening the lid.

I saw the shape of the blood owl yuan nucleus ball, the whole body was blood red, as big as a fist, exuding a rich bloody aura.

Gu Xuan couldn't help it, glanced at it curiously, couldn't help but feel in a trance, and the terrifying scene of the monstrous corpses and bones in the sea of blood suddenly flashed in his mind.

With the flash of yellow light in the soul of life, Gu Xuan's eyes returned to clarity.

Wang Mang explained: "If your cultivation is still shallow, you will be affected by the bloody qi, if it weren't for the existence of the old man, you might be robbed of your mind, sink into the demonic barrier, and become cruel and murderous from then on." ”

Gu Xuan's heart palpitated, he didn't dare to look at the blood demon Yuan Core anymore, his eyes swept away, and he hurriedly looked at Nangong Yan.

Nangong Yan was not much better at all, his eyes were dull, his whole body was trembling, and he was drenched in cold sweat, as if he had been taken away.

"Resurrection!"

With a thunderous break in his ears, Nangong Yan's body trembled before he returned to normal.

Nangong Yan hurriedly closed the lid of the box, and his voice was quite old, and he continued to transmit the sound: "This thing is the blood and the evil core, judging by the blood and evil qi, there are really four grades of cultivation, and Qiu Yin Zhenren takes it to give it away, and it doesn't stick Zhang Zhensha charm, how can it be reasonable?!"

Seeing Nangong Yan staring at him, Gu Xuan asked, "Are you okay?"

Nangong Yan shook his head, and the old man's voice continued to sound in his ears: "Such a strong bloody qi is unbearable in the middle stage of the Ordinary Gang Power Realm, but Ximen Shu is actually fine?"

Nangong Yan smiled bitterly: "It's not a secret, if it weren't for the ancestor of the family, the consequences would be unimaginable, but if you have nothing to do, it's really incomprehensible." ”

Gu Xuan had imagined a similar scene, and had already prepared a set of rhetoric, and when he didn't change his color, he blurted out: "I once took away the sacrifice, and the ancestor of this family will naturally have some means of protection against my Yuan Shen." ”

"I see. ”

Nangong Yan suddenly, took out the birth bead, and pushed it from the table to Gu Xuan, his expression suddenly became solemn.

"Originally, I wanted to keep you for a while, and we would consult the power control method together, but from tomorrow, the valley protection array will be opened here, and the ancestor of this family will refine the healing pill with his own hands, I'm really sorry. ”

Wang Mang said: "This is the intention of Nangong Ancestor, and I quickly agreed." ”

"Understood. Gu Xuan smiled slightly, put away the treasures on the table, "There are many disturbances this time, so I left overnight and came back to visit another day." ”

"Okay, I'll give you a ride. ”

Nangong Yan stood up, stretched out his hand, and walked out of the guest room with Gu Xuan.

The door of the guest room was not closed, and the jade box containing the blood squirm yuan core was swept away by the divine sense of Nangong Old Ancestor.

As soon as the whistle sounded, Nangong summoned the Wind Feather Eagle and sent Gu Xuan out of Yishan until he returned the same way.

......

The jet-black spirit crane flew in the air, Gu Xuanpan sat on the crane's back, and Wang Mang's voice echoed in the upper dantian.

"There is something strange about this matter, Nangong Huang has been injured for several years, but the old man has never heard of it, the Nangong family needs blood replenishment holy relics, at least there is no relevant news circulating in the Xi country cultivation world. ”

Gu Xuan pondered: "With Nangong Huang's combat power, it can be regarded as a pillar of the pillar, does the Nangong family intend to cover it up?"

Wang Mang was very sure: "It is very likely, there is another reason for this, just refining the blood-replenishing pill, there is no need to open the big array at all." ”

Gu Xuan chuckled: "No matter what the secret is, it has nothing to do with us, can the Boiling Blood Pill help Xiaoqing advance?"

When Linghe heard this, he couldn't help but let out a clear sound, his expression full of doubts.

Wang Mang slowly analyzed: "After a long period of cultivation, most of the ordinary spirit cranes can advance to the three-grade realm, and if they are assisted by a panacea, they can advance in advance. Xiao Qing took a Violent Blood Pill at the beginning, which stimulated the inheritance bloodline, and the blood power contained in the Boiling Blood Pill was enough to make it advanced. ”

Gu Xuan finally put his mind at ease and touched Linghe's head: "Xiaoqing, I got a rare elixir that can help you advance in one fell swoop." ”

The crane let out a long cry of joy, its wings flapped violently, and its flight speed increased suddenly, like a lightning speed.

Wang Mang suggested: "After Xiaoqing takes the Boiling Blood Pill, I am afraid that she will fall into a deep sleep, until she wakes up naturally, it can be considered as a successful advancement, and when she returns to Ximen Villa, she can let Xiaoqing take the Pill." ”

Gu Xuan sighed with emotion: "Before the grand ceremony, I hope Xiaoqing can advance to the third grade, how should the breath bead be healed?"

Wang Mang said: "A unique method of sacrificial cultivation is needed, and a certain Taoist sect in the overseas cultivation world has this method, and the old man only heard about it back then. Even if the old man knows, you have to advance to the Gangli Realm before you can start cultivating, and it is too early to say at this time. ”

Gu Xuan asked: "The so-called overseas cultivation world, is it the South Sea Realm?"

"Exactly. Wang Mang's voice was ethereal, "The Nanyang Realm is magnificent and colorful, and when you advance to the Gangli Realm, the old man suggests that you go and travel." ”

Gu Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but yearn for it: "Gangli Realm!"

......

After the Linghe flew out of the territory of Yuanzhou, he flew straight to Xing'an City in Xuzhou.

Arriving at a remote hillside not far from Xing'an City, Gu Xuan fell to the ground and put the spirit crane into a Fusheng bag.

Walking slowly on the official road, looking at the pedestrians coming and going around him, Gu Xuan's mood suddenly brightened.

Since his training, Gu Xuan has rarely stayed in the secular city and felt the atmosphere of the market.

The walls of Xing'an City are much taller than those of Kuzhou City, and the wide gate can accommodate four carriages in parallel.

Gu Xuan walked through the city gate on foot, without causing interrogation by the guards guarding the gate.

Not far from the city gate, several open-top carriages were parked, and the sound of the coachman soliciting passengers came and went.

"This guest officer, do you need a carriage to travel?"

"Below is a newly bought carriage, which is more comfortable to sit in. ”

“......”

Seeing that Gu Xuan was dressed luxuriously and had an outstanding temperament, several coachmen enthusiastically solicited customers, working harder than the other.

Gu Xuan's eyes swept slightly, and he picked a young coachman of the same age, and Shi Shiran sat in the carriage.

The honest-looking young man showed a smug gaze, glanced left and right, and then raised the horsewhip and whipped it to the horse's buttocks.

The horse neighed, spread its hooves, and galloped out of the main road.

The other coachmen pointed and cursed at the distant carriage, but the sourness was so sour that anyone could hear it.

It wasn't until the horse galloped a few feet away that the simple young man dressed in coarse cloth and gray clothes turned around and asked, "Where are the guest officers going?" Since he was ten years old, he has been out to beg for a living and is familiar with every corner of the city. ”

Gu Xuan's face was expressionless, and he slowly spit out three words: "Dinghou Mansion." ”

Dinghou Mansion is the mansion of Gu Xuan's biological father Zhou Ding, and the map of Xi Kingdom shared by Wang Mang does not indicate the location of this mansion.

Contrary to Gu Xuan's expectations, when the young coachman heard the Dinghou Mansion, he actually showed a strange look on his face, and pulled the reins to slow down the carriage.

Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
