Three days later

Three days have passed since the turmoil in the Lu family, and during these three days, Jiang Xiaoqi has been living in the inn, using his spiritual power to repair the injuries in his body. Although on the surface, he did not suffer multiple injuries in that battle, the specific condition of his body is known only to him.

During the three days, bursts of medicinal fragrance came out of Jiang Xiaoqi's inn room from time to time, refreshing people's hearts. These are all pills that Jiang Xiaoqi has refined by himself, which are used to regulate the injuries in his body.

In the battle with Lu Ming, Jiang Xiaoqi's meridians were slightly damaged, at that time, he had just opened up thirty-three meridians, and the spiritual power realm was not stable, and then he fought one after another, resulting in a lot of damage to the meridians in his body.

Interestingly, the gluttonous guy of the old donkey, after smelling the bursts of medicinal fragrance coming from Jiang Xiaoqi's room, sneaked into his room and swallowed a small furnace of pills with a big grin.

After that, the roar of the old donkey ghost crying wolf can be heard in all corners of the Great Wilderness City, and the old donkey with a male duck voice makes the already noisy street have a beautiful landscape, and I don't know how many stalls have been lifted off the street. For a while, the old donkey became the object of everyone's shouting and beating in the great desert city.

As for the Lu family, although they have not been removed from this great wilderness city, the heads of the family have disappeared overnight, some people say that they have seen the sky full of spiritual power in the desert outside the great wilderness city, and soon after, the only remaining disciples of the Lu family received the news of the death of Lu Ming and others.

Since then, the Lu family has completely lost its former grandeur in this great desert city.

"Bang"

In the inn, Jiang Xiaoqi's door was kicked open, and then, I saw a black and white donkey rushing in, holding his tongue and barking like a domestic dog, his tongue dripping downward, staring at Jiang Xiaoqi sitting cross-legged on the futon with a pair of big round eyes.

"Boy, what kind of thing are you refining, it's been three days, and the effect of the medicine hasn't been exhausted. ”

After entering the door, I saw the old donkey with a mouthful of big teeth, and shouted at Jiang Xiaoqi, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, with his tongue, and glanced at him with his round eyes, as if he had taken an aphrodisiac, and the tip of Bai Huahua's nose was red.

"You're gluttonous, but you're blaming me. ”

Listening to the violent wheezing of the old donkey in his ears, Jiang Xiaoqi slowly opened his eyes, and the azure aura that permeated his body slowly dissipated and converged into his body. Then, seeing a smile on the corner of his mouth, he shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and said to the old donkey.

"Brother Donkey, do you think I have a chance of winning against a demon like Daozi in this realm now?"

Slowly getting up, Jiang Xiaoqi walked to the table and chair on the side, poured a cup of tea and drank it himself, with a bit of inquiry in his words.

"Even if you open up thirty-three meridians now, I'm afraid the odds of winning against that perverted guy are less than one percent. ”

After Jiang Xiaoqi got up, he saw the old donkey sitting on the futon, wearing a rough face with his tongue and a look of resentment.

Then, the old donkey heard Jiang Xiaoqi's inquiry on the side, and immediately his old face was stunned, and a pair of big eyes glanced at him squintly, with a look of disdain in his eyes, and he opened his mouth with a big grin, and said to Jiang Xiaoqi so humiliated.

"Why? ”

For the old donkey's answer to the yellow-robed Taoist, Jiang Xiaoqi's right hand holding the teacup was slightly stunned, and then turned around, a trace of doubt flashed on his handsome face, and asked the old donkey like this.

It's not that Jiang Xiaoqi boasts, he feels that his own strength in the Yangxi realm has reached an extremely amazing point, even if he is a martial artist in the Four Manchu Realm, he is sure to win the battle, but after two inquiries, the old donkey and the Taoist's answers are the same, and such an answer makes him can't help but doubt in his heart.

"Your spiritual power that has opened up the thirty-three meridians is indeed strong, and your strength can be said to have the potential to crush in the same realm, but against a demon like Daozi, your chances of winning are very small. ”

"A demonic existence like that has long ceased to focus on a single spiritual power cultivation, just like you were once beaten to death by that old man. ”

"He was also in the Siman realm at that time, although there are many gaps compared to the demons like Daozi, but do you think you have more chances of winning against that old man now?"

Leaning down, the old donkey lay his huge head on the futon, and spoke slowly, discussing his strength measurement for Jiang Xiaoqi at this moment, and then took out the old man Shi as a comparison, and asked Jiang Xiaoqi like this.

"Hmm... Half and half. ”

After groaning slightly, Jiang Xiaoqi recalled in his mind the scene when he had fought against Grandpa Shi, and spoke like this after considering the strength in it.

"If I say that in your realm, I can defeat that old man with a crushing attitude, do you believe it?"

After licking his lips, the old donkey drooped his ears and continued to speak, his words were leisurely, and he said slowly under Jiang Xiaoqi's slightly frowning gaze.

"Whew"

With a light breath of turbidity, Jiang Xiaoqi swallowed the tea in his mouth, silently calculating the gap in his heart. Although what the old donkey said was not necessarily accurate, it could be used as a criterion for him to see the shortcomings.

"Actually, in terms of spiritual power, there is not much difference between you and that bull's nose, what you lack is an understanding of spiritual practice. ”

"Not only you, but the martial artists of the entire world have gradually lost this instinctive understanding in the long river of cultivation, and they just blindly increase the majesty of their spiritual power, which has led to a deviation in their overall strength. ”

"Many of the martial artists of the Four Full Realms that you have seen, they have only reached that level in terms of cultivation, but if you measure it according to the standard scale of ancient times, they will not make a single move under the martial artists of the same realm, and this is the impact of changes in the world environment. ”

After raising one ear to drive away the lingering flies, the old donkey continued to speak, bubbles bubbling between his noses, and slowly spoke, his eyes pretending to sleep, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Is it because the environment of the world has changed, or is there something wrong with the martial artist's own cultivation method?"

Moaning slightly, Jiang Xiaoqi held his chin with one hand, thinking about what the old donkey had just said, and immediately asked.

Regarding the so-called environment of this world, Jiang Xiaoqi not only heard it from the mouth of the old donkey, but even Grandpa Shi had mentioned it, but now, listening to the meaning of the old donkey, it was like there was a problem with the cultivation method of the martial artist himself, so he couldn't help but ask.

"There are both, if the environment of the world has not changed, it is not wrong to continue to follow the previous way of cultivation, there will also be supreme powerhouses, but it is impossible to reach the level of the ancestors. ”

"And after the environment changes, even if it is the so-called supreme powerhouse now, it will not appear again. ”

"Because of this, in a way, there is a problem with the cultivation method of the martial artist himself. ”

Regarding Jiang Xiaoqi's doubts, the old donkey opened his mouth without thinking, stretched his limbs and said slowly, looking at its appearance, it seemed to know a lot about cultivation.

"I remember that the paper you gave me last time was all about the habits of our ancestors, and there was no so-called cultivation method for you. ”

Listening to the old donkey's words, Jiang Xiaoqi nodded from time to time, but then, he remembered the broken paper that he had coaxed over from the old donkey, and immediately questioned the old donkey who was in a daze on the futon.

Since the beginning of his broken paper, he has never gotten any method of cultivation from it, and at that time, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart if this guy was deceiving him, but now that he looks at it, his heart has roughly been determined.

"Well, that's it."

On the futon, hearing Jiang Xiaoqi's questioning on the side, the old donkey's eyes suddenly opened, and he glanced around, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a thief with a weak heart, and he couldn't speak.

Looking at the old donkey's weak appearance, Jiang Xiaoqi couldn't help but sweep a few black lines on his head, his eyes stared at it, and he rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight with it.

That piece of broken paper was once blown by the old donkey to an unprecedented goodness, and he said that he had a supreme cultivation method, so that in the end, he used a rune under a seal in exchange to get the broken paper.

But now, it should be a piece of torn paper, and the crooked handwriting on it should have been drawn by the old donkey himself.

As soon as he thought of this, Jiang Xiaoqi couldn't help but want to go up and beat it.

"Is this Tianzun the kind of donkey that deceives you? That piece of paper is the supreme method of cultivation of the ancestors, but after years of devastation, it has become what it is today. ”

Seeing that Jiang Xiaoqi rolled up his sleeves and was about to find it to fight, the old donkey immediately jumped up from the futon, stood upright, and gestured with its two front hooves in front of him, and immediately made a sound, explaining like this, but there was not much convincing impulse in its words.

"Then tell me, what is the cultivation method on this?"

With a flash of figure, Jiang Xiaoqi came closer, grabbed the old donkey's big furry ears, and made its shouting old face stunned for a moment, and then began to struggle with its teeth and claws, and glanced at Jiang Xiaoqi obliquely with its big eyes.

"If I could figure it out, would I still be like this?"

With a mouthful of big teeth, he viciously scared Jiang Xiaoqi, and then, at the moment when Jiang Xiaoqi lost his mind, he suddenly broke out of his ears and roared.

"What exactly is the so-called correct cultivation method? Is this kind of blind ascension cultivation really a big disadvantage now?"

The old donkey's words made Jiang Xiaoqi fall into deep thought, holding his chin and frowning, his lips half open, muttering to himself.

"In fact, it is not difficult to say, it is not easy to say simple, the so-called cultivation method of the ancestors is just to find the law in the primitive nature, and then condense it into a piece of pictures and texts, and then evolve into the cultivation method of today's martial artists. ”

A pair of big round eyes swirled in the eye sockets, and then, the old donkey approached Jiang Xiaoqi again, his ears swayed, and he said loudly after groaning.

"Runes?"

"Why does it sound so similar to the practice of the spirit rune master?"

The old donkey's words fell on Jiang Xiaoqi's ears, which couldn't help but make him raise his eyebrows, turn sideways and look directly at the old donkey, mutter, and said with some doubts.

From the words of the old donkey, Jiang Xiaoqi roughly understood the so-called cultivation method of the ancestors, that is, to explore the laws from the natural world, rub the next symbols, integrate into themselves, and then obtain a strong power beyond themselves, which is the cultivation method that the old donkey talked about.

However, judging from the cultivation method described in the old donkey's mouth, it is similar to the spirit rune master he once obtained. However, after groaning, Jiang Xiaoqi gradually understood one thing in his heart, and immediately turned his head and looked at the old donkey on the side, with a bit of real brilliance in his eyes, and the latter who stared at the past was a little hairy.

"Well, I admit that the reason why I followed you in the first place was to deceive you about the source of the rune, but don't worry, now this Tianzun no longer has that kind of thought. ”

was a little hairy by Jiang Xiaoqi's eyes, the old donkey's ears were straight, and his body swept back suddenly, opening up a distance from Jiang Xiaoqi.

With the cunning nature of the old donkey, it was already clear, from its words just now and Jiang Xiaoqi's doubts, the latter had gradually guessed its intentions, and immediately knew that it could not be hidden, and immediately grinned and admitted.

"Could it be that the cultivation of a martial artist should also be linked to runes?"

Jiang Xiaoqi was a little surprised by the old donkey's frank admission, but then, he thought of the crux of the matter, the reason why the old donkey was so eager to get his rune inheritance should not be as simple as he originally thought.

The old donkey's temperament is more refined than a monkey, how can he be so simple, it is estimated that this guy knows more about the curse of the spirit rune master than him, and it is impossible for him to rush in without fear of death.

That being the case, this guy must have other plans to get the runes, and it is very likely to be related to the cultivation of martial artists.

"Bang, little brother Jiang, the hour is almost up, the city lord is already waiting for you in the city lord's mansion. ”

Just when Jiang Xiaoqi wanted to ask again, there was a knock on the door of the inn's room, and outside the door, there was a light laugh, with a folding fan swaying in his hand, and the person who came was not someone else, it was the owner of Zhao Ji Qianzhuang, Zhao Yi.

"Whew"

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Xiaoqi packed his bags, put them into the space bracelet at his wrist, and carried the familiar medicine basket from the corner, and after making a color to the old donkey on the side, he pushed the door out, and then, he saw Zhao Yi standing outside the door, and immediately saw Jiang Xiaoqi opening his mouth with a smile.

"I also bothered my seniors to run in person, and the kid couldn't afford it. ”

Pushing open the door and looking at Zhao Yi who was folding a fan in front of him, Jiang Xiaoqi hurriedly clenched his fists, a touch of apology appeared on his handsome face, and after a few words of greeting, he followed Zhao Yi's footsteps towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Three days ago, Jiang Xiaoqi had mentioned to the Taoist that he wanted to use the teleportation circle in the Great Wilderness City to go to the central region, and go to the location of the four holy places to find the next volume of the "Nameless Sutra", which was what the old man Shi had told him, and if he wanted to get the second half of the exercises, he should be able to get the answer in the holy land.

The cultivation in the Yangxi Realm has almost reached the end, thinking that Jiang Xiaoqi's cultivation will be able to reach the Four Full Realms in the near future, and at that time, he must find the second half of the exercises, otherwise, it will be difficult for him to make progress in his cultivation in the future, and his cultivation will stop there, which is undoubtedly bad news for him.

During this period, Jiang Xiaoqi discussed with the old donkey what the source of the "Nameless Sutra" was, but the result was unsatisfactory and he didn't figure out too many clues.

In addition, if the second half of the Nameless Sutra is really in the holy places, how to obtain it will be the biggest problem.

Such a mysterious and powerful exercise as the "Nameless Sutra" will also be a secret among behemoths such as the Holy Land, even if he joins in and wants to obtain such an exercise, the difficulty will be overwhelming, but now that he has reached this point, he can no longer allow Jiang Xiaoqi to retreat, so he can only leave first, and wait until he reaches the area where the Holy Land is located to make plans.

Castle Lord's Mansion

The City Lord's Mansion is located in the center of the Great Wilderness City, standing in the middle, but compared to the Lu family's grand façade, the City Lord's Mansion gives people the first feeling that it is a little desolate.

The entire courtyard of the mansion is made of obsidian, which is as strong as the city walls, and the whole body is very deep. The layout of the courtyard is like a mini big desert city, with a square pattern, and the pond dug in the courtyard has also dried up, and there are a few small dry fish in it.

At the bottom of the pond, there are smooth pebbles exposed. And the rockery piled up on the side has long ceased to flow streams, and has become a little cracked under the exposure of the sun, and the entire city lord's mansion looks extremely desolate, not at all like the residence where the lord of a city lives.

However, Jiang Xiaoqi can roughly guess the reason why this place is so deserted. Although it was only a few days to get along, he could feel that the Taoist was not the kind of person who liked to be restrained, perhaps because of the influence of Taoism, this city lord liked to travel around the West on weekdays, otherwise, Jiang Xiaoqi would not have met him outside the ancient tomb that day.

As for why no one takes care of it, it must have been instructed by this lazy city lord, after all, he has only been in this great wilderness city for five fingers, and wasting manpower all day is not like his temperament, which may also include Taoist inaction, let this city lord's mansion go on naturally.

Under the leadership of Zhao Yi, Jiang Xiaoqi and the old donkey slowly came to the desolate courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, and immediately saw the latter looking curiously, looking around in the mansion.

As for Zhao Yi on the side, he didn't care when he saw Jiang Xiaoqi like this, but looked at him with a smile. If others behave like this in the city lord's mansion, which symbolizes the status of the Great Wilderness City, I am afraid that someone has already forked it out, but judging from the movement of Jiang Xiaoqi and the city lord in recent days, it is obvious that the relationship between the two is not ordinary, and Zhao Yi, as a bystander, is naturally clear.

It's just that what makes him curious in his heart is what kind of identity Jiang Xiaoqi has behind him, and he can have such a close intersection with the city lord, after all, except for him in this great wilderness city, almost no one else has ever seen this mysterious city lord.

"You're here. ”

In the desolate courtyard, the Taoist was still wearing a yellow robe, standing with his hands in his hands, with his back to Jiang Xiaoqi.

As soon as the words fell, I saw the Taoist slowly turn around, a smile appeared on his thin cheeks, and after nodding to Zhao Yi in front of him, he fell on Jiang Xiaoqi's body and looked at him.

"Although I don't know exactly where the crippled exercises you practiced came from, since that old guy has said it, you should have a clue where you are. ”

"Take this thing well, you may need it later. ”

As he spoke, he saw that the Taoist took out a crimson spar from his sleeve robe, which was filled with fiery red lines, and the whole body was round, but the lines were a little mottled and could not be seen.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaoqi took it after a deep sigh, and after saying thank you, he began to look at the warm spar in his hand, his eyes flashing with a little surprise. The surface of the hedron looks like it is pitted and covered with scales, but when you rub it by hand, it is extremely lubricated, and it looks a little like amber.

On the side, the old donkey looked at the fiery red spar that Jiang Xiaoqi had received, his eyes were round, and he gently moved his steps to Jiang Xiaoqi's side, and then, he saw that it grinned violently and bit straight at the spar rubbed in Jiang Xiaoqi's hand.

"Whew"

Jiang Xiaoqi, who knew the old donkey's temperament very well, naturally knew this guy's thoughts, just when the old donkey's big mouth was about to touch the fiery red spar in his hand, Jiang Xiaoqi's figure flashed, accurately dodged the old donkey's big mouth, and then flew up and kicked it on its buttocks, and then saw the old donkey's bloated body fly out, and hit the bluestone by the pond firmly, and suddenly his eyes flashed with gold stars.

"Senior, dare to ask what this spar is?"

didn't care about the old donkey flying out again, only to see Jiang Xiaoqi on the side of his figure, rubbing the warm fiery red spar in his hand, and asked the Taoist on the side like this.

Although this fiery red spar does not look abnormal, it can only be detected after entering it, this spar contains how powerful the fire attribute power is, Jiang Xiaoqi, who is carrying the origin of the water spirit, is extremely sensitive to this kind of repulsive power, so the moment his palm touches, he perceives the powerful fire contained in the spar.

Outside of the first time, Jiang Xiaoqi also sensed a familiar power from this fiery red spar, and that aura seemed to have some kind of connection with his body, but that moment was only fleeting, and it disappeared before he could notice it too much.

"I don't know very well, this stone was given to me by the old guy, although I don't know exactly what the exercises you are practicing in your body are, but the old man has some contact with those people in the Holy Land, in comparison, your exercises are somewhat the same as those they practice, but there are also differences, as for whether it is the same as your broken exercises, you still need to find out for yourself. ”

"As for this spar, maybe after you find the exercises, you will be able to find out. ”

"Alright, no more nonsense, let's get ready to go. ”

After the explanation, I saw the Taoist step out and dodge to the dry pond, and then, I saw the Taoist man's wide sleeve robe wave violently.

Suddenly, an invisible coercion permeated out, and the crimson spiritual power spread on the Daoist's body, and that powerful aura was temporarily beyond Jiang Xiaoqi's cognition, and it was difficult to judge the Daoist's realm cultivation from that touch of spiritual power.

"Boom"

After the Daoist's body was filled with strong spiritual power, Jiang Xiaoqi was surprised to see that the dry pond in the courtyard actually burst out with a strong spiritual light at the moment when the Daoist's sleeve robe waved and the spiritual power poured in, and the faint golden color was surging.

"Whew"

The sound of the wind whistled in my ears, and then, I saw a magnificent magic circle slowly rising in the sight of several people, standing above the pond, emitting a dappled golden light.

Looking at the magic array through the golden light, Jiang Xiaoqi's eyes flickered a little solemnly, the formation in front of him that was filled with golden light was extremely complicated, there were no less than 100,000 rune marks alone, and the rune array veins outlined in it were even more dazzling, such a magnificent formation was beyond Jiang Xiaoqi's comprehension.

This is no longer something that Jiang Xiaoqi can understand at this moment. Although he has now obtained the origin inheritance of the spirit rune master, the cultivation of the rune array needs to be tempered for a long time, and with his realm at this time, he has not even stepped on the threshold of the rune array, such a magnificent formation is not at all comparable to the messy things he has made up haphazardly.

"I've already set the directions, if nothing goes wrong, you'll reach the range of the Heavenly Pivot Holy Land, okay, let's go in. ”

The moment the magnificent rune array roared up, Jiang Xiaoqi heard the Taoist in front of him speak like this, and then, he saw the Taoist man wave his hand, and the talisman array suspended in the air slowly opened a portal, and the whole body was filled with a touch of golden light, and he couldn't see the true appearance of it.

"Senior, take care. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoqi did not procrastinate, dragged the figure of the old donkey and swept straight onto the magic circle, and immediately saw him turn around, and rushed to the Taoist and Zhao Yi under the talisman array to clench his fists, and said like this, and then no longer hesitated, and swept into the golden circle portal with the old donkey beside him, and disappeared.

And at the moment when Jiang Xiaoqi's figure disappeared, his right eyelid couldn't help jumping, and at the same time, by the pond outside the magic circle, Zhao Yi stared at the golden light magic circle suspended in the air, his always calm face couldn't help twitching, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva in his throat, and his eyes couldn't help but skim away from the Taoist beside him, his eyes contained a little complicated look.

"Eh, is there something wrong with this magic circle, I am obviously located in the Tianshu Holy Land, why is it so far away after activation. ”

"Well, there must be something wrong with this circle, and it seems that I have to find someone to fix it when I have time. ”

The golden light gradually dissipated, and the circle gradually disappeared the moment the portal closed. But then, I saw a little stunned on the face of the Taoist, and he twisted his beard and whispered to himself.

Hearing this, Zhao Yi's eyebrows on the side couldn't help jumping, and a look of truth appeared on his complicated face. Looking at his appearance, it seems that this is not the first time that the Taoist beside him has been in this situation, and now he has formed a habit.

Then, I saw Zhao Yi with a little helpless gaze, looking in the direction where the magic circle disappeared, and secretly began to pray for Jiang Xiaoqi in his heart.
