8. Doubts
Several young men and women strolled through the bamboo forest.
They did not take the official road opened up by the four leaders of An Fang, but walked directly in the Ten Thousand Bamboo Forest, and everyone's demeanor seemed very relaxed, not taking the danger of the Ten Thousand Bamboo Forest in their eyes at all.
"I didn't expect us to be able to get such a good errand, it's really thanks to You He Xiong." A middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties smiled and said to the young man surrounded by everyone, his expression was already trying his best to disguise, but there was still this obvious flattery.
The other two men and one woman around him also smiled and echoed at this time, each with a bit of flattery on their faces, regardless of their age being older than this young man.
The boy looks like he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he may not even be able to do so, and the immaturity on his face and the innocence and enthusiasm unique to a young man fully show the outside world that this young man has not experienced the dangers of society. So in the face of the compliments of the people around him, he quickly showed an embarrassed flush on his face, and he looked a little uncomfortable.
However, this teenager does have the qualifications to be complimented by everyone.
Although he was young, the aura exuding from his body indicated that he had reached the seventh layer of the Xuan Dynasty.
In the monastic realm, each major realm has nine layers, and each third realm is divided into small realms. Basically, as long as you can break through a small realm, then before the critical point of the next small realm, the improvement of the realm is not a difficult thing, it is completely a matter of course.
Therefore, this young man named He Xiong is already equivalent to half a foot stepping into the Tongxuan Realm.
At his age, the future in the cultivation world is bright, and stepping into the realm of breakthrough is already a sure thing. And if you can step into the Breaking Realm before the age of thirty, then you can even hope to gather and impact the true Immortal Dao.
In a sense, this He Xiong can be described as an out-and-out genius, no matter where he looks, he is a talent who is focused on cultivating.
So it's not for nothing that the three men and one woman around him will slap him like this.
In particular, He Xiong's talent has obviously attracted the attention of the family, otherwise he would not have given him such a task, which is obviously exercising He Xiong's ability to deal with things and adaptability. After all, with the potential shown by He Xiong, it is already impossible to become a deacon in charge of a territory in the future, so it is natural to take advantage of this time to start exercising his various abilities in advance.
Only in this way can we be entrusted with important tasks in the future.
This is also the consistent management and ruling policy of all sects and major families.
In the midst of casual chatter mixed with compliments and sycophants, the group of five soon came to a woodland located in the deep position of the Ten Thousand Bamboo Forest.
He Xiong glanced at the surrounding situation, then nodded slightly, and said, "It should be here." β
While saying this, he also took out the map and compared it, and then he really confirmed that it was correct.
For He Xiong's cautious and careful approach, of course the other people would not have any dissatisfaction, but took advantage of this to compliment a few words. Anyway, these beautiful words don't cost money, and in the cultivation world, strength has always been respected, and there is nothing wrong with the weak slapping the strong on the back, of course, these people will not be embarrassed because He Xiong is younger than them.
Although He Xiong was still a little uncomfortable with this atmosphere, he didn't continue to chat, but urged the True Yuan in his body, condensed a True Yuan Secret Order according to the mantra obtained from the deacon, and then hit a stone about half a person high in front of him.
When this aura condensed by the true element hit the stone, a special texture of royal blue suddenly appeared on the stone.
Judging from the distorted texture above, two characters can be vaguely recognized, one of which is the word "Mu", and the other is the word "phantom".
This is a means of identification used by families, sects, and even gangs to enclose the land, which means that this illusion or secret realm already has a master land.
Like the word "Mu" clearly floating in mid-air in front of him, it indicates that this opened illusion is the territory of the Mu family.
Not to mention that it is in Chizhou, even in the entire Shenzhou, there is only one person who dares to use the word "Mu" as a territorial identification.
Chizhou Mu family, Mu Wangfu.
This illusion that has been opened is undoubtedly the Hsinchu illusion opened up by the old man of the bamboo forest with the support of Mu Wangfu.
Soon, the royal blue Mu character that appeared in mid-air exploded after a few trembling moments, and an invisible electric current flowed in the air, and then gradually built a looming azure portal.
The pure aura that was so rich that it made people feel intoxicated gushed out from the portal, and almost turned into substance.
Smelling this fragrant scent, everyone, including He Xiong, felt a burst of relief.
"Okay, let's hurry up, try to solve the matter in the morning, and then we can practice here for three days." A satisfied smile appeared on He Xiong's face, "I heard that the effect of cultivating for one day in this Hsinchu Secret Realm is almost equivalent to three days of cultivation in normal times. β
"It's a pity that the speed of time hasn't changed." The middle-aged man in his thirties who first complimented He Xiong sighed with a fly in the ointment.
"Hey, that's a special thing that only exists in secret realms, and you don't have to think about illusions." The only woman in the team smiled and spoke, "And I've heard that not all secret realms have this kind of special feature, only a few secret realms have. β
"Anyway, being able to cultivate in this illusion realm for three days is already a very rare benefit." Another person spoke, "Hurry up and finish picking the spirit plants, and then let's start cultivating, every minute and second of talking now is precious." β
To this, everyone nodded in agreement.
The opening time of the Hsinchu Illusion under He Xiong's control is only four days, which means that they must leave here before He Xiong's True Yuan Secret Order expires. However, if they were able to collect the spirit plant medicinal materials in the Phantom Realm in only half a day, then they would be able to cultivate freely here for the next few days.
After all, three days of cultivation can withstand the effect of the usual close to half a month, and such benefits are not common.
Therefore, in order to be able to join the team that went to the medicine garden to collect medicine, these lowest-level disciples had to show their best and go through a dragon and tiger fight. This is also the reason why the middle-aged man would say that they had received a good errand because they had been blessed by Ho Xiong.
With a relaxed smile, a group of five mermaids entered.
But when they entered the Hsinchu Fantasy World, the smiles on the faces of the five people froze instantly.
In the entire fantasy world, a large area of the medicine garden has been turned into an open space.
With He Xiong's eyesight, he could instantly tell that there was a third less spirit plants in the illusion, and these missing spirit plants were obviously carefully selected and matched. Although he didn't know much about this Hsinchu Illusion from the deacon, he also understood that these missing resources could refine at least three thousand Biling Pills, and although this loss was not much for Mu Wangfu, it was definitely not something that could be ignored at will.
And most importantly, it means that people can come and go in and out of this fantasy world at will!
Although He Xiong was still young, after the strict education of Mu Wangfu, he understood the seriousness of the matter in an instant.
In particular, he also discovered that there were all kinds of things scattered everywhere in the Illusory Realm: a change of clothes, some dry food and drinking water, and so on.
There's even a corpse!
He Xiong walked quickly to the corpse's side, and then crouched down to examine it.
But as soon as he saw the corpse for the first time, his eyes became astonished. And not only him, but even the three men and one woman next to him also showed a look of surprise and disbelief.
Maybe others can't see it, but these people from Muwangfu will never be able to see it.
The wounds on this corpse were caused by the "Quartet Sword Technique" that all the family members in their Mu Wangfu had to learn! And judging from this injury, the Mu family member who performed this Quartet Sword Technique was definitely far more proficient in this martial art than any of them!
"Old Chen......" A man looked at the oldest person in the room.
But this voice only exchanged for a shake of the head of the middle-aged man in his thirties.
His eyes looked very solemn: "I'm not as good as him." β¦β¦ I even suspect that Lao Zhao may not be so neat. β
As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present changed.
He Xiong may be the strongest among them, but in terms of the proficiency of the "Four Square Sword Technique", he is not as good as the middle-aged man who spoke. After all, martial arts and exercises are separated, the faster you practice the exercises, the faster your status in the family will improve, and the "Quartet Sword Method" is just a martial art for the family to learn, only those who are slow to improve their strength and cannot become a guardian of the Mu Wangfu family will continue to study on the "Quartet Sword Method".
Like He Xiong, once he stepped into the Tongxuan Realm and was promoted to the guardian of Mu Wangfu, then he could learn the "Bafang Sword Method", which was stronger than the "Quartet Sword Technique", so he didn't need to study in the "Sifang Sword Technique" at all, as long as he reached the most basic mastery.
In King Mu's mansion, when was there such a skilled swordsman?
Moreover, why is there a corpse in Hsinchu Fantasy? Or die under the "Quartet Sword Technique"!
All kinds of questions made the five people present feel a burst of boredom and palpitations.
I thought it was a simple and easy errand, but now it has become a bad thing because of the loss of one-third of the elixir in the Hsinchu Illusion and the addition of such an inexplicable corpse.
"Can you know the identity of this person?" He Xiong asked.
Several people around shook their heads.
Just kidding, their identities are just family members, and they usually pour tea and water in King Mu's mansion, or run errands for the high-rise, how can they know anything else. They don't have a great future like He Xiong, so they can reveal some secrets appropriately.
Looking at the reactions of several people around him, He Xiong already understood the problem very well, so without the slightest hesitation, this shy boy who was still a little naΓ―ve and very uncomfortable with flattery and flattery before, instantly revealed a strong attitude: "Leave two people to continue to pick elixirs and guard here, Lao Chen, your "Sifang Sword Technique" is better, take one person back to the nearest lower city to inform the steward, and he will report it, and see what the palace has to say." β
"Good!" The middle-aged man also knew the seriousness of the problem, so he nodded, "What about you?" β
"I'll go see if there are any clues around here, maybe the other party will not be able to cover up the clues when they get closer." He Xiong replied.
"Be careful!" Lao Chen instructed again, and then called a young man to leave with him.
And He Xiong also turned around and left Hsinchu Fantasy Land and began to explore clues.
