Chapter 14: The Journey
"Brother Dong, do you really want to leave?" Cai Zhiyuan looked at Xu Xiaodong and couldn't help asking.
Xu Xiaodong was dressed in a black robe, his eyes were resolute, and he was wearing a pale yellow ring on his finger.
"I already feel that I have touched the edge of the Xuan level, and I plan to go outside to find an opportunity to see if I can break through the Xuan level. Xu Xia Dong replied.
"Then have you asked for leave from the academy this time, although our school is relatively free, but if you haven't returned for too long, it will be a little troublesome. Cai Zhiyuan reminded.
"I've already taken a leave of absence from my mentor. Xu Xiaodong was also reluctant in his heart, but he was not an ordinary person after all, and continued: "I also said hello from my father's side, and you have to work hard when I am not in the academy, and you must not slack off in your cultivation." ”
Xu Xiaodong is half a year older than the little fat man, and the relationship between the two has been very good since childhood, Xu Xiaodong treats Cai Zhiyuan as his younger brother.
"Come on, I hope that when I come back, your cultivation will surprise me!" Xu Xiaodong patted Cai Zhiyuan on the shoulder and walked towards the courtyard gate.
Looking at the back of Xu Xiaodong leaving, Cai Zhiyuan suddenly had a feeling that this brother would go on a completely different path from him in the future.
"Brother Dong wishes you all the best. The little fat man secretly blessed in his heart.
A decree of the imperial city came out and came to the palace of the king of Mu.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. The king of the shepherd guarded the frontier, made great achievements, I was very relieved, and the king of the herd was specially named the prince of Sanzhu, and he was given a thousand stones, and he admired this!"
When everyone thought that the Holy Lord was dissatisfied with the Shepherd, such a decree came out of the imperial city, which made many people scratch their heads, what did Your Majesty mean?
But this does not affect the flattering people, and at the gate of the palace, which was originally full of birds, people began to visit with gifts, which is embarrassing.
Xu Xiaodong didn't know all this, he had already left the Imperial Capital Academy at this moment, got into a carriage, and was heading east along the bumpy mountain road.
After a few days, it was rumored that Xu Xiaodong had taken a long leave because he was facing a bottleneck at the Xuan level, and he went out to look for opportunities. This made many students who wanted to visit Xu Xiaodong secretly regret it.
Xu Xiaodong's destination was the misty forest where he killed the two-tailed white tiger, in the misty forest, he sensed the breath of the Xuan-level demon beasts, but he didn't cultivate the third sword and Wuji Phantom Xiaocheng at that time, so he didn't dare to pay attention to these demon beasts.
Located on the eastern border of the Southern Tang Empire, the Misty Forest resembles a giant dragon in the middle of the Purple Cloud Empire and the Southern Tang Empire, with Southern Tang on one end and Purple Cloud on the other.
The misty deep forest covers an area of 100,000 li, rich in products, and it is rare that there are no ground-level demon beasts in several large mountain ranges, although the perennial white fog is shrouded, but compared with other dangerous places in the Canglan Continent, the danger is much less, of course, this danger is much less for Xuan-level martial artists.
The proportion of yellow-level martial artists dying in the Misty Forest is very high, because there are many hidden demon beasts hidden in the Misty Forest, and many martial artists are often killed by sneak attacks before they even see the demon beasts.
Therefore, many warriors who want to go into the mountains to hunt monsters and obtain materials will form a team to go to the mountains.
Qingfeng Town is located in a small town at the foot of the Misty Forest, and many warriors will replenish and cultivate here before or after going up the mountain, and over time, a supply-like existence has formed here.
Many warriors who hunt monsters will also choose to sell materials and buy spiritual weapons here, so this place is also very prosperous.
Because of the large flow of people, the mixing of dragons and snakes, and the security of Qingfeng Town is also very poor.
Xu Xiaodong walked in the middle of the town, and with his keen sensibility, he noticed that many people noticed him.
On both sides of the street are rows of shops with various flags on them.
"Treasure Medicine Pavilion. ”
"Temple of Divine Weapons. ”
There are those who sell elixirs and divine soldiers, and there are warriors coming and going from time to time at the door of the store, which is very lively.
Xu Xiaodong exchanged the hundreds of spirit stones on his body into healing elixirs, and there were many accidents in hunting demon beasts, and he didn't want to give away his life because of carelessness.
After spending ten spirit stones to buy a detailed map, Xu Xiaodong planned to enter the mountain.
"This little brother is slow. A hearty voice came from behind him.
A burly man with a scar on his forehead called Xu Xiaodong, who was in his forties and cultivated in the late stage of the yellow level.
He was followed by two young men in their early twenties, who also had a mid-level yellow level cultivation, with pride on their faces.
You must know that Qingfeng Town is not like the genius gathering of the Imperial Capital Academy, and he has a mid-level cultivation in his twenties, which can be said to be very good.
Xu Xiaodong stopped and looked at the burly man with some doubts.
As soon as the burly man looked at Xu Xiaodong's cultivation, the smile on his face became even stronger, and he arched his hand and said: "My name is Wu Ajiu, and the brothers here generally call me Ajiu, and these two brothers are called Huang Jia and Chen Hai." The little brother is already in the late stage of the yellow level at a young age, and his future is limitless. ”
Huang Jia and Chen Hai's faces changed, they didn't pay attention to Xu Xiaodong's realm just now, and at this moment, after being reminded by the big man, they found out Xu Xiaodong's cultivation, and they were suddenly shocked, and the arrogance on their faces disappeared.
Xu Xiaodong is much younger than them, and he is already in the late stage of the yellow level.
"It's over, but how many people call me something?" Xu Xiaodong smiled slightly and asked.
Wu Ajiu was guessing Xu Xiaodong's origin, and when he heard this, he said with a hint of apology on his face: "Little brother, don't be surprised, don't hide it, we have been with you for a while just now, seeing that the little brother has bought a lot of healing medicines, dare to ask the little brother if he wants to go to the misty forest to hunt demon beasts?"
Xu Xiaodong was careless, but this was not a vague information, and he did not hide it, nodded and said, "Exactly, I have this intention." ”
Seeing Xu Xiaodong admitting, Wu Ajiu was even more happy, "I think the little brother hasn't teamed up with someone yet, you must know that in the Misty Forest, in addition to demon beasts, you must also beware of martial artists." There are many unscrupulous warriors in the Misty Forest, specializing in ambushing lone warriors, killing people and grabbing treasures, and there are countless warriors who have fallen because of this over the years. ”
"Therefore, many warriors will find a team before entering the mountain and enter the mountain together, so that although the materials will be less, the safety factor will be greatly increased. Wu is not the founder of the blue wolf team, these two brothers are members of the team, we also plan to enter the misty forest in the near future, the little brother is strong, are you interested in joining our blue wolf team and hunting demon beasts together. We have been hunting demon beasts in the misty forest for more than ten years, and we know the habits of many demon beasts very well. ”
Wu Ajiu said his purpose and looked at Xu Xiaodong happily.
If Xu Xiaodong joins, the blue wolf team will have two late yellow levels, and the chance of survival in the mountain will be much higher, and some places that he didn't dare to explore because of the lack of masters, he also dared to explore, which is why he so much hopes that Xu Xiaodong will join.
Xu Xiaodong was a little moved, but after thinking about it, he still refused, the purpose of his trip was to kill a large number of Xuan-level demon beasts and obtain achievement points, and it was inconvenient for someone to be around.
Wu Ajiu was very disappointed, and said without giving up: "Those evil people are powerful, and they are joining forces to commit crimes, and the little brother is single-handed, if it is very dangerous." ”
"I'm sorry, I'm used to going it alone this time. Xu Xiaodong refused again.
Wu Ajiu closed his mouth, knowing that if he continued to talk about it, he would offend this young late-stage Huang-level martial artist.
After thinking for a while, Wu Ajiu made a decision, and took out a yellow scroll from his arms, with dense small characters written on it, "Little brother, this is some of the experiences I have summed up over the years of wandering the Misty Forest, these experiences I already remember are ripe, this yellow scroll is useless to me, so I gave it to the little brother, hoping to help the little brother hunt more demon beasts." ”
Xu Xiaodong glanced at Wu Ajiu deeply, and took the yellow scroll, "Thank you Brother Jiu, then we will have a meeting later." ”
Looking at Xu Xiaodong's departing figure, Wu Ajiu retracted his gaze, the reason why he decided to give the yellow scroll to Xu Xiaodong was also to make a good fate, such a young yellow-level late-stage powerhouse, the future is limitless.
"Brother Jiu, this person doesn't join our blue wolf team, why do you still send him something?" The young man named Huang Jia behind him waited for Xu Xiaodong to leave, and then asked.
"Hehe, this little brother is not an ordinary person, although he was not invited to the blue wolf team, but it is always right to form such a good fate. Wu Ajiu said with a smile.
Chen Hai was also puzzled: "Brother Jiu, even if this person is a late-stage cultivator at the yellow level, we don't know his strength yet, generally speaking, he has such a cultivation at such a young age, and his actual combat ability is not strong." ”
Wu Ajiu said with a smile, "Then you can look away, when this little brother is by my side, I obviously feel a sense of oppression, and I am most likely invincible in the battle with him, and have you noticed the ring on his hand, but it is a two-star spirit weapon." Most of the people who can afford to wear this kind of ring are the children of a big family, and the strength of the children of that family is much stronger than ours. ”
Wu Ajiu said, his eyes showed a look of yearning, if he was born in a big family and had many resources, then he should have broken through the late stage of the yellow level and become a Xuan-level martial artist.
