The place where Chao Xiaonan lived for nine years was a small village in the central and southern provinces, and the village was self-sufficient, so it had no contact with the outside world.

The Central and Southern Provinces are one of the four major provinces of the Great Ten Empire, and the Great Ten Empire is one of the only two major empires on the Wuluo Continent, an empire with a history of no less than 1,000 years.

Chao Xiaonan rarely chose to meditate or practice at night, but chose to sleep comfortably, in the dream he dreamed that he had left this place and saw the prosperity outside the village......

The next morning, the sun was still rising, and the whole village was once again covered in golden sunlight.

Chao Xiaonan's figure still appeared at the foot of Nanshan, tempering his physique.

About two hours later, he stopped at Xiao Nan, sweat pouring down his forehead.

Sensing that there was not the slightest increase in spiritual power in his body, he shook his head towards Xiao Nan and sighed: "Alas, could it be that I can really only be an alchemy genius towards Xiao Nan......?"

Chao Xiaonan's voice was inevitably a little annoyed.

Over the years, Chao Xiaonan has been practicing martial arts in Nanshan every day, and every time he has squandered all his strength, and finally collapsed to the ground, and then Meng Qingwu or Mu Chen are responsible for carrying him back.

But now that more than nine years have passed, Chao Xiaonan is still at the peak of the acquired realm, which is also a fact that Chao Xiaonan has to face, he may really not be suitable for martial arts.

Whenever he was about to break through, the spiritual power in his body seemed to suddenly disappear.

Chao Xiaonan could clearly feel that those spiritual powers were not absorbed by anything, but more like those spiritual powers suddenly spread from the body to the outside of the body, which was absolutely appalling to the world.

As long as the spiritual power of heaven and earth is not released by the cultivator himself, then it is impossible to leave the body suddenly, not to mention that Chao Xiaonan is only an acquired realm, how can he release the spiritual power?

But this is the case, over the years, day after day, year after year, Chao Xiaonan's cultivation is like an endless cycle.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have already despaired, but he was different, because he was Chao Xiaonan, who could still move forward slowly even in the majestic rain.

......

Xiang Xiaonan squatted down and lowered his head to play with the stones on the ground.

"Since that's the case, then I'll obediently be an alchemy genius!"

Then Xiao Nan childishly threw the stones in his hand far away, and a few geese resting on the trees in the distance were so frightened that they fluttered their wings and flew away, and a few geese were arranged in a neat line.

Suddenly, there was a scream in the distance, and a grim farmer roared while holding his head in his hands: "Whoever threw the stone, who threw it......"

Hearing this, Chao Xiaonan, who knew that he was in trouble, immediately ran away......

Deep into the top of the South Mountain, Mu Chen's handsome figure emerged, Mu Chen's eyesight was excellent overlooking the childish behavior of the young man below, and the corners of his mouth hooked a trace of arc.

"If you give up like this, it won't be Chao Xiaohei, it's just a pity that you're too tired after all, what are you carrying?" Mu Chen asked to himself with a warm smile.

After a slight pause, Mu Chen retracted his gaze, his expression slightly emotional, "Maybe this is towards Xiaonan?"

No one responded, and Nanshan, which was straight into the sky, had no other sound except for the roar of the sword dancing in Mu Chen's hand.

Running a little farther towards Xiaonan, he slowed down, approached the courtyard, stopped at Xiaonan, and looked at the exquisite small courtyard that seemed to be draped in golden light veil under the morning sun.

The oak saplings planted with Mu Chen and Meng Qingwu outside the courtyard are now almost tall.

"Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, nine years have passed in a flash, what is the height of me now?"

Chao Xiaonan's eyebrows unconsciously showed a little sadness, he knew that his road was not here, and he would leave here one day, would they be willing to let me leave?

The figures of Meng Qingwu, Mu Chen, and Li Tianlan flashed in Chao Xiaonan's mind, as well as the kind faces of more than 100 villagers, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"The ten-year covenant is coming soon!" Chao Xiaonan whispered, remembering the scene when he made a ten-year appointment with the old man, and showed a look of self-deprecation towards Xiaonan.

............

"Child, it was the old man who saved you, and you almost lost your life in the snow that day. ”

"Oh. ”

“...... You're welcome, it's the doctor's job to save people and heal the sick. ”

"Hmm. ”

......

“...... That...... Why don't you get some rest?"

"Good. ”

......

"What are you going to do when you're cured, kid?"

"Explore the nature of the world. ”

"Haha...... The old man also thought so, why don't I take you as an apprentice, old man, and we will explore together?"

"Why?"

"Because...... Uh, because I'm so good, old man?"

"How powerful?"

......

"Okay, I promised, but I'll be leaving in ten years. ”

“...... Why?"

"Because in ten years you won't be able to teach me anymore. ”

“......”

"Haha...... Ten years is ten years!"

............

"Stinky boy, what are you doing there, come and help the old man!"

Li Tianlan's somewhat angry voice sounded in his ears, and when he woke up to Xiao Nan, he suddenly felt a little inexplicably funny.

I saw that Li Tianlan and Mengqingwu both opened their hands, bent down and held their breath and cautiously approached the front, and in front of them was a big spirit-tailed chicken with a beautiful color.

This spirit-tailed chicken was also a little flustered when he saw the two approaching violently, fleeing in all directions, and the huge and bewitching spirit tail swayed left and right.

Mengqingwu was having a good time, her outstretched arms clapped and cheered from time to time, and Li Tianlan reminded Mengqingwu helplessly on the side, "Xiao Wu, be quiet, when will we catch it when you shout like this...... Alas......".

Failing to catch it again, Li Tianlan's slightly rickety body sat on the stone pier of the courtyard a little depressed.

Li Tianlan stroked his forehead with both hands and looked at the spirit-tailed chicken, whose bright tail was still swaying not far away.

Noticing the strange look of Chao Xiaonan, who was not far from the courtyard, who wanted to laugh but couldn't help but not laugh, Li Tianlan said angrily: "You stinky boy, let you help you watch the excitement, you still dare to laugh!"

Seeing Chao Xiaonan's expression of more and more unbearable laughter, and even when Chao Xiaonan began to laugh unabashedly later, Li Tianlan was also a little unbearable on his face.

I saw Li Tianlan's body suddenly shook, his feet stomped on the ground, and suddenly for a while, the wind and sand suddenly rose in the courtyard, and I saw a few stones suddenly shooting towards Xiaonan at a very fast speed.

Chao Xiaonan had long realized that the situation was not good, and when Chao Xiaonan closed his eyes, the trajectory of those few stones in his spiritual perception was clear as he could see.

With Chao Xiaonan's spiritual power at this time, it was enough to perceive all the wind and grass within ten meters of his body.

Chao Xiaonan's body moved, although his martial arts cultivation had not yet stepped into the innate realm, but his physical physique was by no means comparable to ordinary people after so many years of hard training, and Chao Xiaonan deftly dodged a few stones.

When Xiao Nan opened his eyes and was about to laugh, suddenly a pair of big shoes flew in and slapped on his face with the bull's-eye, and dust was everywhere......

Li Tianlan's means of martial arts or Dan Dao are naturally not comparable to Chao Xiaonan, and in Chao Xiaonan's spiritual induction, this pair of big shoes definitely does not exist.

There were two large shoe prints on Xiao Nan's face, and his small eyes blinked, looking innocent.

"This old man still can't be easily provoked......"

Chao Xiaonan complained fiercely about himself in his heart, making you love to play with fire......
