Tong Sanniang's words, in fact, the truth is very simple, but often the simpler the truth, the fewer people can think of it.

Su Xiaoqi was like waking up from a big dream, and his heart was shocked.

Yes, if you practice the sword, why can't you carry the sword, and if you practice the knife, why can't you become a sword immortal?

In the past, he was self-contained, so that after meeting Wu Yuan, a small knot appeared, although it was very deeply hidden, but after all, it really appeared.

As Tong Sanniang said, he not only has to carry the sword, but also to practice the sword, and to practice with his heart, the higher the swordsmanship, the deeper the knife can be hidden, and the more he can be unprepared.

It's just that it takes a lot of time.

And the Jiang family and Haotian Sect obviously won't give him so much time.

Su Xiaoqi really had a headache.

So he put down his glass and went upstairs to draw talismans.

The next day, Su Xiaoqi finally mastered the use of the sword talisman, but he still seemed a little rusty, and if he was not careful, he would be attacked by the talisman and make him embarrassed.

Wu Yuan didn't lie to Su Xiaoqi either, and did find a talisman that Su Xiaoqi wanted.

The quality is not high, it's just a yellow gall talisman, it belongs to a rare blessing talisman, and it's not difficult to use, as long as you learn this talisman, you can directly draw this talisman on any object, not only can you increase the weight, but also get a lot of increase in attack power.

It's just that this kind of talisman has a disadvantage, that is, it can only be used once, and then you have to draw it again.

But for Su Xiaoqi, it was just right, after all, he only had one knife.

And during this time, a piece of news spread throughout the town of Panyang.

On the third day of the third month of the third month, the Qichaoshan Association will hold a grand meeting in Qingluan County, as long as the Qingluan County cultivators who are less than twenty years old can participate, and the winner can not only get a sword that can be called a divine weapon, but also obtain the status of a named elder of Chaoshan.

When Su Xiaoqi heard the news, he was naturally a little moved.

What kind of magic weapon is that, Su Xiaoqi doesn't care, but the identity of this nominal elder is not small.

"Elder", Su Xiaoqi has seen the weight of these two words in Tianji Pavilion, the man surnamed Liu, who came to see him some time ago, has reached the middle stage of Guanhaijing, but he is only the last elder in the Qingluan County branch of Tianji Pavilion.

Although it is only the last seat, the power in his hands is terrifying, Qingluan County has a total of more than 70 cities, large and small, half of the information is in the hands of this person, and there are countless killers under his hands, just the killer of the sea viewing mirror, there are as many as eight people.

Although Qichaoshan is not as powerful and mysterious as Tianji Pavilion, but last time Su Xiaoqi saw eight people from Qichaoshan with his own eyes, that kind of strength is not to mention in Qingluan County, even if it is the entire Jinghe Sixteen Continents, as long as you don't provoke the thousand-year-old king and eighty-thousand-year-old turtle, it is not difficult to walk sideways.

If he really becomes the nominal elder of Chaoshan, even if he has less power in his hand, it should not be a problem to mobilize a few disciples of Chaoshan.

When the time comes, it may be difficult to tear up his face with Haotian Sect and let Qi Chaoshan make a move, but it is not too much of a problem to drag Qi Chaoshan into the water.

So after that, every day before dawn, you can see a young man with bricks tied to his legs and a grinding stone on his back, starting from the dilapidated courtyard in the west of Panyang Town, and running east along the Rhine River to Xianrendrunk.

At the beginning, he had two bricks tied to his legs, starting from the time of Mao, and it was already the end of the hour when he arrived at the immortal drunk, and slowly, there were more and more bricks on his legs, and the time to reach the immortal drunk was getting earlier and earlier.

Wu Yuan and Tong Sanniang didn't say much about all this.

The road of cultivation is long, and there is never a shortage of so-called geniuses, but most of those who die in the middle of the road are often these so-called geniuses, so on this road, talent is important, and it can even be said that it is indispensable, but what really determines how far you can go is often the perseverance in your heart.

Su Xiaoqi's talent is good, and he can still have this perseverance and endure this hardship, which is really commendable.

It's just that Wu Yuan still feels a little sorry.

Such a good seedling, in the matter of foundation, but so-so, can he really go further in the future?

So he left the immortal drunk again and went to the stone arch bridge.

For so many years, he had never gone to find the old man, but after knowing Su Xiaoqi, in a short period of time, he had taken the initiative to find the old man twice for the sake of this young man.

Even he himself found it unbelievable and unbelievable.

On the stone arch bridge, the old man seemed to know that Wu Yuan would come, so he had been waiting there for a long time, still like last time, smoking dry cigarettes and watching the water flowing under the bridge.

After Wu Yuan walked onto the stone arch bridge, before he could speak, the old man waved his hand and said indifferently: "This time, it's still for that kid, right?"

Wu Yuan nodded.

The old man put down the cigarette stick and said slowly: "No wonder, this kid is a little similar to you at the beginning, he is a little better than you, and he can endure hardships." ”

Wu Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, if you suffer hardship, you will become a master, I was afraid of hardship at the beginning, so I ...... now."

He didn't continue, the old man glanced at him, and didn't say anything, just said indifferently: "If it goes on like this, before the third day of the third month of March, this kid should be able to condense Yuan Dan." ”

Wu Yuan spoke again: "But I always feel that it is not a good thing to make too much progress and too fast. ”

The old man sneered, but his tone was still flat: "Why, you really think that if you put it on the path of cultivation, it is applicable to all seas?"

Wu Yuan sweated, and at the same time, his eyes lit up, looking at the old man in front of him.

The old man only took a puff of dry tobacco and did not speak.

The old man didn't say anything, and Wu Yuan didn't dare to say it, and there was a sudden silence on the stone arch bridge.

I don't know how long it took like this, the old man spit out a large puff of smoke and said in a deep voice: "The foundation is solid, naturally it is not a bad thing, but there is no absolute in everything, if you deliberately suppress the realm, it is very likely to backfire." ”

Speaking of this, the old man stopped talking and knocked on the cigarette stick, "Yes, it's useless to tell you this, you, it has remained the same for so many years, your vision is too low, do you really think that Chaoshan will be so kind?"

Wu Yuan was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, was shocked in his heart, and said in horror: "Isn't it? Although the Jiang family has a relationship with Qi Chaoshan, can it really make Qi Chaoshan plan like this?"

The old man smiled, "Don't forget that there is a great city lord's wife in the City Lord's Mansion, I didn't even see that such a woman with ten fingers who don't touch the spring water of the sun will become so fast and so big after falling into the mortal dust." ”

Wu Yuan still couldn't believe that dealing with a small spirit mirror could make a sect like Chaoshan make such a big fanfare.

The old man seemed to know Wu Yuan's thoughts, and said with a smile: "This grand meeting came suddenly, but for the young geniuses of the entire Qingluan County, it is unavoidable, a divine soldier, a nominal elder, such a temptation is destined to make many people's heads bleed, and even die." ”

Wu Yuan suddenly narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "They have calculated that if Su Xiaoqi wants to deal with Haotian Sect, he needs to be the elder of Chaoshan, so Su Xiaoqi will definitely participate, and at the conference, if Su Xiaoqi has three longs and two shorts or dies directly, then even if Su Xiaoqi really has the support of Tianji Pavilion and Gusu City behind him, they can't blame them." ”

The old man nodded, and took another puff of dry tobacco.

Wu Yuan frowned and said, "But aren't they afraid that Su Xiaoqi will really stand at the end and become the nominal elder of Qichaoshan?"

The old man sneered, "Qingluan County is not big, but there are not eight thousand cultivation geniuses, but there are also ten thousand, why does such a poor boy who has just stepped into the path of cultivation stand out among tens of thousands of cultivation geniuses? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if this kid is lucky enough to become the nominal elder of Qichaoshan, then he will have to be bound by the sect regulations of Chaoshan, and if he finds one at random, he can send this kid into a hell that will never recover, even if Tianji Pavilion and Gusu City come forward, what can he say?"

Wu Yuan was already sweating.

The old man waved his hand, slowly walked down the stone arch bridge, and said: "Don't try to stop that kid, maybe it will only backfire when the time comes, this kid, maybe there are bigger people to bet on, even I can't see it really, so don't interfere indiscriminately, lest you don't know how to die when you get it." ”

Wu Yuan, who returned to the immortal drunk, regretted this experience a little.

So as soon as he entered the house, he closed the door, picked up the jar of wine, and drank like mud.

That's how life went.

It is getting closer and closer to the third day of the third month of March, and Su Xiaoqi has reached the late stage of the spirit mirror as Old Man Chen guessed, and is at the critical moment of condensing Yuan Dan. Wu Yuan has changed since the last time, so Tong Sanniang can only come forward to guide Su Xiaoqi and remind some precautions when condensing Yuan Dan.

Although Panyang Town is not far from Qingluan County, it is also several days away, so Tong Sanniang prepared a carriage for Su Xiaoqi, and also hired a coachman, in addition, he also prepared a lot of food, plus a sword.

She was like an old lady who sent her son to Beijing to take the exam, holding Su Xiaoqi's hand, telling this and that, ten thousand people were not at ease, and watched the carriage completely disappear into the morning light.

After sending Su Xiaoqi away, she rubbed the corners of her eyes and returned to the tavern, but she didn't even have the interest in counting the money.

There are some things she doesn't know, and some things she knows.

She just hopes that the child can come back safely, and she doesn't care about anything else.

Wu Yuan walked down to the second floor and stood in front of the counter, a little hesitant.

Tong Sanniang said suddenly: "Although I don't know the specifics, I can roughly guess some clues, so I'm going to go to Jiang's house." ”

Wu Yuan was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had misheard.

Tong Sanniang suddenly smiled and said: "There are some things that no one does, and the world thinks that no one will do it, such a child is not afraid, I am so old, what are I afraid of?"

Wu Yuan was still hesitating.

It's just that he hesitated before, hesitating whether to tell Tong Sanniang the truth, and now hesitating, hesitating whether to go to Jiang's house with Tong Sanniang.

After a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind, raised his head, and looked at that beautiful face for the first time, his tone was extremely flat, but extremely firm, "I'll go with you." ”

Tong Sanniang frowned and said, "I'll die." ”

Wu Yuan nodded and said, "I know." ”

After that, the two just looked at each other and smiled.

From that day on, the immortal drunk never opened the door again, and there was no such wine as Butterfly Mengxian in Panyang Town.
