"Send to death, then it depends on who is dead?" Shi Xuan said.

"Unexpectedly, or a thorn in the head? I'm just reminding you, don't you die when you don't even have a whole corpse?" the old mercenary mocked.

"Take care of yourself, your mouth still stinks?" Steward Lu said to the old mercenary.

Shi Xuan didn't bother to bother with him, most of these people were some spirit masters with average talents, and they were self-righteous.

Soon it was Shi Xuan's turn, Steward Lu rushed the young man in front of him, although he didn't despise Shi Xuan like the old mercenary, but he also felt that he was young and his strength must not be very good, "This little brother, this mission is not usual, you better go to the side to pick up some safe tasks, right?" Steward Lu said calmly.

"Isn't the minimum requirement for the mission to be in the Ning Yuan Realm? Isn't I, a spirit master of the Heavenly Vein Realm, worthy of this mission?" Shi Xuan said.

"God, Heavenly Pulse Realm, is there a mistake?" the old mercenary almost laughed out loud when he heard him say this.

"Little brother, don't say that you don't believe you, have you also seen other people's reactions?" said Steward Lu.

Shi Xuan turned around and looked, several old mercenaries were about to laugh badly, "Sure enough, it's a group of old fritters with rat eyes, I'll let you see it today, otherwise you will look down on it?" Shi Xuan was slightly angry, grabbed the old mercenary with a foul mouth and threw it out of the door at once, and the old mercenary didn't have time to react, so he fell a dog and ate.

The other mercenaries were also stunned by the strength he displayed, which was indeed something that only people above the Heavenly Vein Realm could do.

The old mercenary got up and killed him angrily, and Steward Lu shouted: "Presumptuous, this is the territory of the Lu family, and it's not your turn to go wild, stop me?"

Only then did the old mercenary stop, "Look at your virtue, if the little brother wanted to hurt you, you would have died?" said Steward Lu.

Only then did the old mercenary withdraw his weapon and stand aside, "It turned out to be an old man and a clumsy man, what do you call the little brother?"

"Jiahe City Shi Xuan, Heavenly Vein Realm Spirit Master, came to take on this task this time," Shi Xuan said.

"Unexpectedly, Shi Xuan's little brother is young, but his strength is so terrifying, he is really young", Steward Lu said.

"Is my strength enough?" Shi Xuan asked.

"Enough, to be able to achieve such strength at this age is already rare in the life of the old man, the remuneration for this mission depends on your performance at that time, with your strength, the low price is at least 10,000 gold, if you can get major achievements in the mission, my family master will have another reward", Steward Lu said.

"When does the mission start?" Shi Xuan asked.

"In ten days, we're going to be on our way, and you'll come here to report then," said Steward Lu.

"Okay, then I'll go back and wait for ten days before I come back?" Shi Xuan left after speaking, he was also going to use the power of the Lu family and the Cai family this time to completely disintegrate the power of the bandits.

Many of the mercenaries present were also suppressed by Shi Xuan's strength, although it was only a short shot, but they saw the gap at once, and even Steward Lu was shocked by the young Shi Xuan, which reminded him of his son.

Steward Lu's son can also be regarded as the pride of the Lu family, ** is slightly one or two years older than Shi Xuan, he has already left the Lu family these years and went to the southwest continent to join other forces, he is strong and talented, and now he can be regarded as a good backer for the Lu family.

On the other side of Jiahe City, the Cai family is also in full swing to recruit troops, although the bandits were expelled by the two of them and driven out of Jiahe City, at that time, Ultraman You were also quickly retaliated against, and their industries outside were raided by the bandits, and they lost a lot every year. This time they finally made up their minds to eradicate them once and for all.

Shi Xuan returned home again, and after many years of separation from his parents, he was also ready to accompany them first, as for the task of the Flame Core, he had no clue for a while, he could only wait for the opportunity.

Dad has the help of Shi Xuan's elixir in the past few days, and his injuries have improved quickly, which is really unimaginable for them, as the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, not to mention so many broken muscles and bones, but these elixirs that Shi Xuan gave him are not comparable to those ordinary medicinal materials, these elixirs are all refined from high-level spiritual materials, and ordinary people can't even buy them with money.

Shi Xuan's return also brought hope to the small stone village, the villagers all watched Shi Xuan grow up, they now see Shi Xuan's strong return, and it also inspired their dream of being a spiritual master, many villagers who were still hesitant finally made up their minds to send their children to the academy to practice spiritual arts.

Shi Xuan often came to the woodland behind the village to give guidance to some children in the village, as a disciple of Tianhua Sect, he had too much experience in teaching, and it could be regarded as a good starting point for them.

Shi Xuan also learned from them that his former good brother Shi Yun had also walked out of Hongyan Ridge and went to the mainland to find the path of the spirit master, and Shi Xuan was also happy for him.

For these low-level people, Shi Xuan is also happy to help them, this time he thought of Tianhai Yuan, he decided to meet his former mentor, in addition to missing, he also wanted to find a way out for the future of these children, Tianhua Sect has been fighting repeatedly over the years, losing a lot of disciples, and he also wants to attract some talented disciples for the sect and replenish fresh blood.

Tianhai Yuan produces a lot of outstanding disciples every year, and he also wants to contribute a little strength to the sect and attract these talented spirit masters to join the Tianhua Sect.

With his current prestige in Tianhua Sect, he can still call the shots in this matter, and with an idea, Shi Xuan immediately went back to implement it, and he came to Tianhai Academy again, the enlightenment academy of this spirit master.

After Shi Xuan's introduction, the person guarding the gate finally let him enter the gate, and he went to Mentor Zhong Wei's forge first, which was also the place he was most proud of, and his proud identity as a spirit forging master also started here.

Although after many years of absence, the academy has been newly renovated, but the overall environment still retains the pattern of the year, Shi Xuan walked through the once familiar academy, as if he had returned to the past.

One by one familiar figures appeared in his mind, mentor Su Li, senior sister Yuan Caiwei, good buddies Liu Ming and Song Renjie, the extraordinary strength of Du Ruofei and **, these former partners now have their own creations, they have already gone to the mainland and become famous in a foreign country.

Shi Xuan's side passed by many immature faces, they were all apprentices who had just entered the academy, their faces were full of longing for the spirit master, and they were full of hope and worked hard to practice here.

Shi Xuan came to Mentor Zhong Wei's forging workshop with ease, the environment here was the most remote in the entire academy, after all, the loud noise from the forging would inevitably disturb the cultivation of other spirit masters, so Zhong Wei chose a remote place.

Shi Xuan once again stepped into the familiar place, and there was a familiar rhythm in the forging workshop, which was a special hammer method taught to him by Tutor Zhong Wei, and to this day, although he also learned the hammer technique of Master Du Chunhua, he did not forget the teachings of Tutor Zhong Wei.

It was still the rhythm that was once familiar, and the sound of forging that was noisy in other people's ears was so pleasant to his ears, which was a unique feeling that only spirit forgers had.

When Shi Xuan slowly pushed open the door of the forge workshop, he saw the old man again, at this moment he was much haggard, no longer as strong as he remembered, but his forging was still sonorous and powerful, there were two young children beside him who were also learning his hammer technique, there were big drops of sweat flowing on their immature faces, and their faces were baked red by the forge furnace, but neither of them gave up, under their hammer forging, a piece of first-order spiritual metal gradually exuded brilliance.

Shi Xuan saw his childhood self on their faces, and also saw the immortal inheritance of the spirit forging master, and it was this inheritance that carried forward the spirit forging master's skills.

Zhong Wei finally felt the fiery aura coming from behind him, and his agile soul suddenly realized that the genius who best cultivated the spirit forging technique was behind him, and he turned to look at Shi Xuan.

After a while, something suddenly remembered in his eyes: "Stinky boy, is it you?" Zhong Wei suddenly became excited, although Shi Xuan's appearance had changed drastically from before, his aura was still familiar.

"Master, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still so obsessed with spirit forging techniques?" Shi Xuan said.

"It's old, it's useless, it's not as good as you young men, in your breath I feel the unique rhythm of the spirit forging master, it seems that you kid hasn't forgotten the old man's teachings back then", Zhong Lao said.

"How dare I forget that the identity of the spirit forging master is my greatest pride, without the teachings of the master, I am nothing. Master is above, please accept the disciple Shi Xuan's bow?" Shi Xuan made a master-apprentice salute towards Zhong Wei.

"Hurry up, the old man is already very happy to see that you have achieved something", Zhong Wei helped Shi Xuan up.

"These two children are indeed good seedlings, and the master's vision is indeed hot," Shi Xuan said.

"Compared to you, there are still very few people in control of the ultimate elements in this world, a disciple like you, the old man has already met a gift from heaven, and he doesn't dare to ask for more", although Zhong Wei has received a lot of apprentices over the years, but a disciple like Shi Xuan who has mastered the ultimate element has never encountered it again.

"No matter how good the talent is, it can't be separated from a good mentor**, without the master's teachings, my talent may be wasted, which is also the credit of the master", Shi Xuan said.

"I've heard that the Southwest Continent is making a pot of porridge everywhere, and I've been worrying about you for the past few years, but God willing," Zhong Wei said.

"Master, I'll show you something, you'll definitely like it," Shi Xuan said.

"Could it be?" At this age, the only thing that can make Zhong Wei's heart move is the grandmaster-level spirit forging.

In front of Zhong Wei's eyes, he saw Shi Xuan take out a superb grandmaster-level spirit sword, at this time his entanglement hand gently stroked this spirit sword, this is his eternal pursuit in this life, but he was born by mistake, an era when the spiritual energy dried up, his achievements were extremely limited, and now when the spiritual energy is revived, he is old.

"I still remember a few decades ago, when I traveled to the mainland, in a ruins, I saw a broken grandmaster-level spirit sword, at that time it made me very happy, I swore that in this life, I must forge a grandmaster-level spirit sword, I didn't expect time to fly, in a blink of an eye, decades have passed, the old man still has achieved nothing, ashamed", Zhong Wei said.

"Master doesn't need to blame yourself, with your talent, if you weren't born in the wrong era, such a spirit sword is definitely not a difficult thing for you, you don't have a dream to complete, let the disciple complete it for you, and I will definitely forge a superb grandmaster-level spirit sword in the future", Shi Xuan said.

"I believe in you, with your current strength, even the old man can't see through it, I believe that in less than ten years, you will be able to achieve unimaginable achievements, and then our spirit forging master will finally rise again", Zhong Wei said.

"Master, if you like it, I'll give you this spirit sword, I can't urge the sword spirit for the time being, it doesn't mean much to me now," Shi Xuan said.

"You are walking the rivers and lakes now, it is the time when you need it, it is better to stay with you, the old man has no quarrel with the world, and the spirit sword will only be wasted here with me", Zhong Wei said.

"No, master, I firmly believe that I can rely on my own strength to forge my own grandmaster-level spirit sword, now as long as I step into the spirit realm, I can forge a fifth-order spirit sword myself, and this spirit sword will be collected by you, right?" Shi Xuan insisted.

"Since you have this confidence, the old man will accept it. You're here today, and you've also seen a lot of things for your two little disciples, right?" Zhong Wei said as he looked at the two cute little apprentices.

"Most of the things I know are taught by you, master, since you want to demonstrate, I'll demonstrate a section, the forging hammer method I learned from Tianhua Sect, right?"

"Each hammer technique has its own characteristics, so you two should observe the hammer technique that your senior brother showed you, right?" Zhong Wei said to the two new disciples.

When the two children heard that they could learn a new hammer technique, they were so excited that they didn't even care about the pain in their arms.

Shi Xuan selected a piece of spiritual metal, and showed the new hammer method taught by Master Du Chunhua under the gaze of everyone, the spirit forging master has different inheritances, and his understanding of forging is naturally different, by observing other people's hammer methods, he can also confirm his own forging skills, even Zhong Wei was attracted by his new hammer method, he seemed to see a new forging technique from Shi Xuan's hammer method, and solved many of his doubts.

Shi Xuan's hammer method also gave Zhong Wei a new understanding, it seems that he has found a solution to his doubts over the years, and he has also found a solution from the forging of others, he did not have the opportunity to contact other inheritances before, his original forging method is incomplete, it does shackle his progress, this time he rekindled hope.

Shi Xuan's two junior disciples were also fascinated by learning, and such an opportunity was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them.

After a long time, a junior disciple asked, "Senior Brother Shi Xuan, where did you learn these hammer techniques?"

"Tianhua Sect, as long as you have good talent in the future, Senior Brother can introduce you, I believe that Tianhua Sect can help you go further," Shi Xuan said.

"Then with our talent, can we join the Tianhua Sect?" the disciple asked.

"In my opinion, your spirit forging technique has reached a certain level, but your strength is still a little lower, as long as you reach the Ning Yuan Realm within three years, the door of Tianhua Sect will be open for you," Shi Xuan said.

"It's going to be a matter of reaching the Ning Yuan Realm within three years, that's too high, isn't it?" the little junior brother said in surprise.

"It's not tall at all, Shi Xuan was older than you when he was studying here, didn't he also successfully join?" Zhong Wei said.

"Yes, now that the heaven and earth are full of spiritual energy, the Ning Yuan Realm is not an obstacle at all," Shi Xuan said.

Shi Xuan's arrival You have learned for Zhong Wei the real changes on the continent over the years, this is indeed not the world he is familiar with, the current continent is the world of the younger generation of disciples, their group of people has indeed been abandoned by the times, but for Zhong Wei, he is already satisfied to have Shi Xuan's disciple.

"Master, this time, in addition to visiting your old man, I have one more thing I want to ask you for?" Shi Xuan said.

"Tell me, kid, what can I do for you?" Zhong Wei said.

"Our Tianhua Sect has indeed lost a large number of disciples in the past few years of fighting, and the sect's forces have lost a lot, I want to reach a consensus with the academy to let the outstanding disciples of Tianhai Yuan enter our Tianhua Sect to practice, which is beneficial to you and our Tianhua Sect," Shi Xuan said.

"Tianhua Sect is indeed a good place for a spirit master, but you still have to ask the Yuan Master about this matter, but don't worry, I will convince him for you", Zhong Wei said.

"I will also try my best to persuade the head of the sect to lower the threshold appropriately and recruit more disciples," Shi Xuan said.

"Fortunately, with a super force like Tianhua Sect to attract, our Tianhai Yuan will definitely be able to attract more genius teenagers to come, which is also a good choice for us, and it is also the biggest reward for those top disciples," Zhong Wei said.

"Then there's Master Lao," Shi Xuan said.

Zhong Wei attached great importance to Shi Xuan's proposal, and he immediately discussed the matter with Jiang Liyuan, and Shi Xuan immediately wrote a letter to Dai Tiande to teach, hoping to gain his support.

After thinking about it, Jiang Li finally felt that it was feasible, for the top disciples of the academy, they also had a good home, the reputation of Tianhua Sect on the mainland had already spread, and the battle report from Canghai, even the forces of Jiahe City had already heard that Tianhua Sect was also the best choice for countless disciples.

Many disciples of Tianhai Yuan soon learned the news, and many of them were from some families in Jiahe City, and they had already heard about Tianhua Sect, but they were thousands of miles away from Tianhua Sect, which caused many outstanding disciples to have to give up this idea. But Shi Xuan decided to let the sect come to Tianhaiyuan every other year to directly recruit students, and let the disciples of the sect escort them to Tianhua Sect, so that this little journey would be nothing.

He even wanted to reach such an agreement with other academies in Jiahe City, but for the sake of safety, he still decided to reach a consensus with Tianhai Yuan first and make plans in the future.

Over the years, the situation in the world has changed rapidly, and the old rule of Tianhua Sect many years ago, recruiting students once every three years, is obviously difficult to meet the requirements of the situation, such as today Huazong is facing a lot of pressure, must replenish fresh blood, the original passive recruitment of disciples They no longer have an advantage, the Moon Worship Sect relies on the terrible way of preaching, has already secretly gathered a large number of outstanding disciples, and other forces have already changed the traditional method of recruiting disciples, Tianhua Sect should also change, otherwise, excellent disciples are snatched away by other forces, and there will be disasters in the future。

These days, Lin Zixu has made a huge movement in Canghai, which can be said to have promoted the strength of Tianhua Sect very well, Canghai is the closest place to Hongyan Ridge, and the news from there has greatly spread the reputation of Tianhua Sect.

Shi Xuan did this, and he also happened to take advantage of Lin Zixu's momentum, and the prestige of the sect also depended on strength to speak, and the allied forces led by Lin Zixu had no power to fight back against the Blood Ring Sect and the Sea Shark Palace, which indeed greatly enhanced the prestige of the sect.

This is indeed a huge temptation for those disciples who have not yet chosen a sect, who does not want to enter a powerful sect, a strong sect can not only improve their future, but also bring backers to their own family. Both the Lu family and the Cai family have many disciples who have entered some super forces on the mainland, which is also their huge backer.

In Tianhai Garden, a boom was quickly set off, and the attraction of Tianhua Sect to them did play a good role in encouraging them, giving hope to those top disciples.

In the next few days, Shi Xuan was preparing to go into the mountains to eradicate the bandits, and the day before the Lu family set off was approaching, Shi Xuan must also be fully prepared, these bandits are unusual, they have been rooted in Jiahe City for many years, and they have networked a large number of outlaws, relying on the steep mountains of Hongyan Ridge as a support, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and have caused great panic to the towns around Hongyan Ridge for many years.

Shi Xuan knew that it was necessary to eliminate the evil, otherwise once these bandits formed a fish that slipped through the net, they would definitely be infinitely harmful, and if they wanted to kill them this time, they would have to be killed completely, so that they would disappear completely.

Although the Lu family and the Cai family are only preparing to recover the mines and some industries this time, Shi Xuan is ready to add fuel to them, and it is bound to use their strength to eliminate the bandit forces in one fell swoop and restore peace to Jiahe City.

This time, if he wants to gain the trust of the Lu family, he must show enough strength, with his strength at the peak of the ninth order of the Heavenly Vein Realm, he can also be regarded as the number one person in Hongyan Ridge, as long as he does not provoke those old monsters in the late stage of the Spirit Realm, he is enough to protect himself.

Although Jiahe City is calm on the surface, only the spirit master here knows the surging of the dark tide, no one has forgotten the turmoil caused by the Shen family, the Wang family and the bandits, and now, an operation against the bandits is in full swing, the Lu family and the Cai family are openly recruiting troops, and this battle is bound to win.
