On the square in the center of Mudan City, Mu Xiao stood there, raising his eyes to look at the cultivation hall not far away, the cultivation hall was still towering and mighty, overflowing with aura, and under the blue sky and white clouds, it seemed to be shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland. After practicing the alchemy method in the Casting and Refining Hall for two months, he had a certain understanding of the wood attribute aura, and at this moment he thought to himself: "Mudan City is not located in the depths of the Mudan Jungle, but in the cultivation hall, the aura is so abundant, I think it must be blessed with an aura treasure like Xuantan Jingyuan." Thinking of this, Mu Xiao was deeply shocked, the Mudan Clan Cultivation Hall, since the founding of that Mu Guifan Patriarch, has a history of more than three hundred years, it is really deeply rooted and mysterious...... "At this moment, a young man walked out of the cultivation hall, and when he saw Mu Xiao, his pace immediately accelerated a lot.

"Brother Mu Ze!" Mu Xiao shouted loudly, and quickly greeted him.

Seeing Mu Xiao, Mu Ze was also very happy, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "I haven't seen you for two months, how are you doing in the Casting Hall?"

A hint of gloom flashed on Mu Xiao's face, but he still said loudly: "I'm fine, Brother Mu Ze, what about you?"

Mu Ze smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Actually, I can't tell whether it's good or not. ”

Mu Xiao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Why did Brother Mu Ze say this?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Mu Ze's face, and he said: "It would have been an excellent thing to be able to enter the cultivation hall, but it has been two months since I took the Enlightenment Pill, and I see that the aura left by the Enlightenment Pill in my body is getting weaker and weaker, but I still haven't broken through to the first layer of the Wood Sect Xuanqi Technique, if it is another month, I haven't broken through, I'm afraid it will be ......" A worried look appeared on Mu Ze's face.

Mu Xiao immediately understood, when Mentor Mu Yuanxu introduced the Qiling Pill, he said about the March deadline. In the past two months, through studying alchemy, I have a certain understanding of the truth of aura cultivation, and I am also a little worried in my heart, but I still patted Mu Ze on the shoulder and said: "Brother Mu Ze, you don't have to worry, there is still time, maybe you have been too nervous these days and have not been able to fully enter the cultivation, let's go home this time, change the environment, maybe we will break through all of a sudden." ”

Mu Ze still sighed: "If I knew this, I would have secretly taken out the Spirit Pill for you to take, maybe ......"

Hearing Brother Mu Ze say this, Mu Xiao's eyes suddenly became hot, and his heart was shocked, thinking that Brother Mu Ze, since he was a child, he has been thinking about protecting and taking care of me, and he even remembered the fact that he failed to enter the cultivation hall...... After a moment of silence, he patted Mu Ze on the shoulder and said solemnly: "Brother Mu Ze, my business may have been predestined in the dark, don't worry about me anymore." You must not be presumptuous, you can pass the empowerment test, which shows that your talent is much higher than mine, you just need to meditate and cultivate, and it is inevitable to break through. ”

Mu Ze's heart was a little calmer, and seeing Mu Xiao really made him very happy, and he didn't think about cultivation anymore at the moment, and the two of them trotted as usual and went in the direction of Changqi County's house.

The two went home and met their parents and grandfather. They all asked with concern about the situation of the two of them these days, Mu Xiao and Mu Ze both talked about their situation in general, and their parents were very pleased, but the grandfather looked at the two of them with a strange gaze. The warmth of the home immediately dispelled the unhappiness in the hearts of the two of them these days. Father and mother were busy preparing the meal, and my grandfather was pacing behind his back. Mu Ze also returned to his room, ready to cultivate, Mu Xiao knew that Brother Mu Ze was anxious, and it was not easy to disturb, after a while, in the courtyard, only Mu Xiao was left, if it was usual, Brother Mu Ze would definitely pull himself outside to play. Mu Xiao kicked the grass growing in the stone cracks under the eaves, and he didn't go home for two months, and he seemed to feel the look in his grandfather's eyes, and suddenly there was something unspeakable.

Suddenly, Mu Xiao seemed to remember something, left the house, and trotted quickly towards the river he often visited.

Mu Xiao wandered by the river for a long time, at this time it was dusk, the sunset on the horizon was dazzling, the water in the river was sparkling, remembering this time two months ago, he sat here and Lingxi for a long time, Lingxi gave him encouragement and comfort when he was most lost, and his heart suddenly wanted to see Lingxi very much. Today is also the day when disciples of the cultivation hall can take leave to visit their relatives, and I have heard that Brother Mu Ze said that Lingxi went home before him, if so, she will definitely come here to find herself.

Mu Xiao walked by the river for a long time, but he didn't wait for Mu Lingxi, and a trace of loss welled up in his heart. He picked up a small stone by the river, bowed down, and threw it into the river with all his might, and the stone stirred up small circles in the water, and then connected into the distance. Suddenly, a white wave of water swept past him, reaching the other side of the river, Mu Xiao was startled, turned around, and a beautiful girl in a pink dress was walking forward, with a smile on her face, who is it not Mu Lingxi. The water wave just now was formed in the river by a bowl-sized stone thrown by her aura, although the force was not large, but it was very ingenious.

"Lingxi!" Mu Xiao was a little excited, couldn't hide the excitement on his face, and stepped forward.

"Brother Mu Xiao!" Mu Lingxi was also very happy and walked to Mu Xiao's side.

"You seem to be using aura just now, you've successfully entered the first layer of the aura technique, right?" Mu Xiao asked as he walked side by side with Mu Lingxi.

Mu Lingxi nodded vigorously, with a smug look on his face.

"Congratulations, Lingxi! Brother Mu Ze is still worried about this, and now he is practicing penance at home?" Mu Xiao seemed to be even more excited than his own cultivation.

"Can your clumsy and clumsy brother Mu Ze compare to me?" Mu Lingxi said with a smug look on his face, giggling, "I entered the first layer a month ago. ”

Mu Xiao seemed to recall what happened in the Mu Dan jungle a month ago, and said, "That's right, I wanted to ask you how your cultivation was at that time, but I never had the chance. After speaking, Mu Xiao seemed to be depressed in his heart, but when he saw Mu Lingxi at this time, he didn't want to spoil the happy atmosphere, so he changed the topic and said, "By the way, why did you come here today, I almost thought you wouldn't come?"

"I'm sorry, Brother Mu Xiao, I met a fellow cultivator on the way here, and I talked to him about some cultivation matters. Speaking of this, Mu Lingxi looked a little excited, and continued, "Brother Mu Xiao, you don't know, his name is Mu Ziyi, he is the person who saved you last time, but he is quite a good character, on the first day of taking the Qiling Pill, to be precise, in less than an hour, he entered the first layer of the Mu Sect Xuanqi Technique, and Mentor Mu Changye also said that he is a wizard that the Mudan clan has not had for decades, and he is expected to become a figure like the old patriarch Mu Xuandao in the future!"

"Is it? The person who can make Lingxi praise you must indeed be a very powerful person. Seeing Mu Lingxi talking about that Mu Ziyilai's face of excitement and excitement, Mu Xiao felt unhappy for no reason, and deliberately said in a strange tone.

"He's really amazing, that's a fact, and he's a very good person, and he has taught me a lot of cultivation experience. I was able to cultivate to the first level of the Wood Sect Xuan Qi Technique so early, and I also had his credit?" Mu Lingxi continued, not seeing the change in the expression on Mu Xiao's face at all.

"Hmph!" Mu Xiao snorted lightly and deliberately raised his voice and said, "Then he is the most popular person among girls in your cultivation hall, right?"

"Brother Mu Xiao, what do you want?" Mu Lingxi noticed that he had been talking about Mu Ziyi, and suddenly felt a little apologetic. continued, "But there is another girl, named Mu Ziying, who also entered the first layer of the Wood Xuanqi Technique on the same day, and was also said by Mentor Mu Yuanxu to be a person with unlimited future achievements like Mu Ziyi. Just ......"

"Just what?" Mu Xiao deliberately behaved strangely.

"It's just that although Mu Ziying is very beautiful, he doesn't seem to be with everyone, and he usually goes alone, which is very cold. ”

"Really, how beautiful, I'll take a good look at it when I have a chance. ”

Mu Lingxi pinched Mu Xiao's arm and said angrily: "You think beautifully, others are cultivators of spiritual energy, and their empowerment potential is much higher than that of ordinary people, so they won't fall in love with you, an alchemy boy?"

The words blurted out by Mu Lingxi seemed to sting Mu Xiao somewhere deep in his heart, and Mu Xiao was stunned and speechless.

"I'm sorry, Brother Mu Xiao, I didn't mean that!" Mu Lingxi also knew that his words hurt Mu Xiao a little, pulled Mu Xiao's arm, and said anxiously. But then he said, "Who told you to go see her?" ”

Mu Xiao sighed, shook his head, and said with a smile: "It's okay, you can't cultivate aura, this is a fact that can't be changed." ”

For a while, the two couldn't find the words to comfort each other, and walked forward silently, although Mu Xiao had been comforting himself and even numb himself not thinking about not being able to cultivate aura, but it seemed that heaven would make people and remind him again and again. Even at this moment, he and Mu Lingxi are walking side by side, but he seems to have a feeling in his heart that he and Lingxi, perhaps, are destined to be people from different worlds. Looking at the beautiful girl in front of me, from childhood to adulthood, she is the closest girl to herself. He wouldn't ask her, maybe she knew in his heart that he couldn't go with him after all, but he didn't want to hear that from her.

Slowly, the surroundings darkened, the evening breeze was cool, the twilight was deepening, and all kinds of strange beasts in the forest not far away seemed to be ready to move, which made people a little creepy.

"Let's go back!" Mu Xiao turned to look at Mu Lingxi, as if he wanted to take advantage of the unfinished afterglow of this evening glow when the dusk was not over. Take a good look at the girl in front of you who has been so close since she was a child.

"Good!" Mu Lingxi also replied in a low voice.

The two of them walked back together, and along the way, although the two of them were still as close as before, they seemed to suddenly talk less. When they were about to part, Mu Lingxi suddenly stepped forward and gently leaned on Mu Xiao's shoulder: "Brother Mu Xiao, you must take care of yourself, study cultivation skills well, and you will definitely become a very powerful alchemist in the future." ”

"I will!" Mu Xiao wrapped his hand around Mu Lingxi, this was the first time he hugged the girl, a stream of tears suddenly rolled down from his eyes, he looked at the sky, and secretly cursed the injustice of God, for a moment, he felt as if he felt the faint flow of wood attribute aura in the air. But then he smiled bitterly at himself, and thought to himself, "I am not an aura cultivator, and I haven't taken the Qi Spirit Pill, how can I feel the aura?" He shook his head slightly, came to his senses, and let go of Mu Lingxi. ”

"Goodbye, Brother Mu Xiao. Mu Lingxi also seemed to have tears in her eyes, turned away, and under this deep twilight, her figure was like a flickering candlelight, from Mu Xiao's eyes, gently drifting into the distance.
