"Xiao Qi, although the old man, I approve of you going to the outside world, but because you have never stepped out of the village since you were a child, you know very little about the dangers of the world. ”

Dressed and covering his skin glowing with a light blue light, Jiang Xiaoqi walked closer, picked up the note on the table, read the long-dried handwriting on it, turned over the yellow paper, and engraved a hand-drawn map on the back, which depicted the general direction of the mountain range, extremely streamlined, and the place he was going to this time had been circled by the old man with red pen and ink on it.

"Well, Grandpa Shi's painter really doesn't dare to compliment. ”

Write down the map engraved on the yellow paper in his heart, his fingertips beat with spiritual power, and the yellow paper was shaken into crumbs, and then, Jiang Xiaoqi picked up the two bundles of bamboo slips on the table, spread them on the table, and looked at them fixedly. As his gaze deepened, he gradually found that the spiritual power in his body was filled with a sense of excitement, and suddenly, he knew what these two bamboo slips were, which recorded the secret books used by martial artists in cultivation, which were called spiritual skills in this world.

After looking around, there was no trace of Old Man Shi, Jiang Xiaoqi was a little lost in his heart, and he wanted to say goodbye to Grandpa Shi, but at this moment, he couldn't find any trace of him, so he had no choice but to give up. Immediately picked up the two bamboo slips on the table, carried them in his arms, and tied the bag prepared by Grandpa Shi next to him in advance around his waist, which contained the currency of this world, Lingjing.

Simply packed up for going out, and carried the small medicine basket in his arms on his shoulder, Jiang Xiaoqi took one last look at the quiet peach forest in the small courtyard, quietly closed the door, turned around in three steps, and headed down the mountain, where there was the world he once longed for.

"Stinky boy, dare to talk about me behind my back, my painter has been instructed by a master, and you can still dislike me?"

Not long after Jiang Xiaoqi walked back, the closed wooden door of the small courtyard was pushed open again, and a trace of annoyance flashed across the wrinkled cheeks of the old man Shi, looking at the back of Jiang Xiaoqi leaving, he couldn't help but laugh and scold. But then, looking at the back that was gradually drifting away, a touch of reluctance appeared on the old man's kind cheeks, after all, this child had lived with him for twelve years, and he left suddenly at this moment, and he was more or less reluctant in his heart.

"Alas, it's okay, Xiao Qi has his own life, why should the old man be sad here, I should also go back to where I should go. ”

The old man retracted his gaze, no longer nostalgic for the distant back, turned around and stepped into the quiet peach forest, his steps moved rhythmically, and disappeared into the depths of the peach forest from time to time.

......

"Selling steamed buns, steamed buns that have just come out of the pot, don't smell and don't need money. ”

"Ginseng, thousand-year-old ginseng, has just been excavated from the snow-capped mountains, and the one with the highest price has it. ”

Walking on the noisy town streets, Jiang Xiaoqi looked around casually, and bursts of shouts sounded everywhere in his ears, accustomed to the peaceful and quiet garden life, and suddenly fell into the hustle and bustle of the world, which made him feel noisy, but this noisy fireworks also added a little bit of the reality of this world.

"Boss, here are two buns. ”

Thinking like this, Jiang Xiaoqi walked up to the guy who was shouting hard, took out some scattered spirit crystals, handed them to the guy in the bun shop, and then, with the shocked look on the man's face, took the bun.

"Thank you, little brother. ”

Hurriedly took over the broken spirit crystal in Jiang Xiaoqi's hand, and the shop guy quickly put it in his purse, and shouted loudly at Jiang Xiaoqi, who gradually disappeared into the crowd.

At this time, this guy's heart has blossomed, this is a spirit crystal, although it is only a few scattered, but it is worth half a year's hard work, silently thinking in his heart, he has already decided that Jiang Xiaoqi, who disappeared in the crowd, should be a genius boy who came out of a big family to practice, otherwise he would not have made such a generous move, but that is not what he is worried about, right now, he just wants to quickly close the stall, close the door when he returns home, and take out those scattered spirit crystals to count carefully.

Jiang Xiaoqi naturally doesn't know about the thoughts of the shop guys, since he was a child, he has lived in a mountain village, and everything in the outside world seems very novel, and he naturally knows very little about the currency in circulation. Lingjing is circulated among martial artists, a businessman who buys and sells with a small amount like a shopkeeper, giving him some scattered silver is enough to make him unable to close his mouth, and waving his hand like Jiang Xiaoqi is Lingjing, it will naturally be considered to be a genius who has come out of a certain family to practice, this phenomenon is not uncommon here.

Out of the town, Jiang Xiaoqi rummaged through the map he had memorized in his heart, found the direction he was in, and silently planned the route in his heart. In fact, the moment he saw the map, he vaguely understood the old man's thoughts, the reason why the old man depicted on the map were the trend charts of some mountain ranges, the meaning of which was to let him flip through the mountains and cross the jungle.

Regarding the old man's thoughts, Jiang Xiaoqi naturally knew that the reason why the old man arranged it this way was because in this primeval forest, there were all kinds of fierce beasts, but he had never had a substantial battle, although his spiritual power now had attributes, and the realm had also reached the Yangxi realm, but he lacked actual combat experience in fighting.

And Old Man Shi's intention is to let himself cross the majestic mountains, fight with all kinds of fierce beasts, and gradually accumulate actual combat experience, so as to exercise his primitive instincts, I have to say that this arrangement of Old Shi can indeed make up for his shortcomings in battle to a large extent.

In addition, he can also take the opportunity to cultivate the two bamboo slips left by the old man Shi, and a martial artist without spiritual skills as a medium is like a tiger that has lost its teeth, and it can't pose much of a threat.

As soon as he thought of this, Jiang Xiaoqi no longer hesitated, discerned the direction, stepped out, and ran towards the endless majestic mountains in the west.

And not long after Jiang Xiaoqi left, three dark figures appeared in the position where he was standing, in the center, was a burly man, more than two meters tall, naked upper body, explosive muscle lines were clear, his body was full of palm-length scars, and his right eye was covered by a black cloth, which seemed to be blind.

On his shoulder, the big man carried a one-meter-long curly-bladed broadsword, glowing with a cold light.

To his left, there stood a thin figure less than half a meter tall, lean, tanned skin clinging to the skeleton, curled up, with a pointed beak and a lewd smile on his dry cheeks, revealing an indescribable gloom.

And the most striking thing is that his hands are sticking out, like skin, close to the bones, and the nails, which are knee-high, show a deep purple color as a whole, shining like metal in the sunlight.

On the right side of the big man, there is a round fat man, with a fat head and big ears, who always has a smile on his honest face, wearing a shabby robe, stained with oil, and holding a piece of fat meat in his hand, from time to time to send a few mouthfuls to his mouth.

This group of three people was looking at the direction where Jiang Xiaoqi disappeared and sneered, looking at each other, they all saw the greed and cruelty in each other's eyes, obviously, the spirit crystal that Jiang Xiaoqi inadvertently threw out before attracted their attention, and now they are regarded as prey by the group of three.

"It's over, the boy is afraid that he is going to be unlucky. ”

The passers-by who saw everything in their eyes looked at the three people of different shapes not far away, and couldn't help but shake their heads, and sighed secretly in their hearts.

These three people are well-known executioners and robbers in the vicinity, picking the kind of rich children who are not strong and have no one to protect them. Obviously, Jiang Xiaoqi, who disappeared, has been taken as a prey by them, and as a bystander, he can only secretly say pity in his heart.

"Poof"

With the piercing of the dagger, a leopard fell in response, unwillingly closed its sloppy eyes, and at the same time as the leopard fell, in the grass behind it, a white-clothed young man walked out slowly, took off the dagger from the leopard's body, wiped it on the grass on the side, wiped off the blood stains on it, and then inserted it in his waist, this young man was Jiang Xiaoqi who left the town and went on the road alone.

At this time, Jiang Xiaoqi didn't know that he had been taken as a prey and wanted to rob him of his money, but even if he knew, he would not be afraid, after all, in his previous life, he was originally cultivated as a killer, and the courageous killing engraved in his bones could not be erased.

"The power of this great hand of compassion is not bad. ”

As night fell, the stars twinkled in the sky, reflecting the lush forest, Jiang Xiaoqi was dragging the breathless leopard, slowly coming to the lit bonfire, savoring the first spiritual skill he had just performed, the Great Compassion Hand.

This Great Compassion Hand is one of the bamboo slips left by Old Man Shi, and it is a yellow-level superior spiritual skill, which can only be cultivated when the spiritual power reaches the Yangxi Realm.

Spiritual skills are divided into four levels in this world, Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, of which the heavenly level is the highest, the earth level is second, and the yellow level is the lowest, and in the four major levels, it is also subdivided into three levels, which are the upper, middle and lower three times.

When Jiang Xiaoqi saw the spiritual skills of the Great Compassion for the first time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in his impression, Old Man Shi was strong, not like the kind of stingy people who were unstoppable, but right now, he casually threw a copy of the Yellow Rank Spiritual Skills to fool him. However, when he really came into contact and cultivated, he found that the Great Compassion Hand recorded in the bamboo slip was just a move, and the power it burst out was quite strong.

Just like the leopard that he had just intercepted, his strength had reached the second grade, and the spirit beast was born with strong defense, but under the hands of the Great Compassion that Jiang Xiaoqi urged, it was like a rag, and it was blown out casually, and then it was fatal with one blow.

In addition to human beings, there is also a special life in this continent, that is, the spirit beast, the spirit beast is the same as the human being, born in the Five Spirit Continent, and the body also has the five elements in the body, which can absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth for cultivation, but compared with humans, the cultivation speed of the spirit beast is much slower, but in the same way, there are pros and cons, the life of the spirit beast is longer than that of humans, one reaches the second grade, just like the leopard that Jiang Xiaoqi hunted, if there is no accident, it can live for more than two hundred years.

Spirit beasts are the same as human beings, and they are also divided into levels, from bottom to top, with nine grades as the respect, one rank as the lowest, and nine grades as the peak. It is rumored that a super spirit beast with a strength of the ninth rank is just a snap of a finger, and the existence of that level is enough to be on a par with the strongest in this world.

The leopard is pulled out of the waist, the hind legs are cut off, skinned, washed, and placed on a wooden shelf, grilled over a bonfire, and from time to time, an enticing aroma wafts from the jungle.

"Fluttering"

After being full of wine and food, Jiang Xiaoqi removed the muscles and bones of the leopard, cut the condensed muscles and flesh into strips with a dagger, hung them on the branches to dry, extinguished the bonfire, and hung the small medicine basket on the branches. After doing all this, Jiang Xiaoqi tapped his toes, jumped down on the trunk of the tree, leaned on the thick branches, and fell asleep.

"Boss, this kid is asleep, let's do it. ”

A long time passed, and a whisper came from the dense jungle, and then a fat-headed, big-eared human head emerged from the grass, its eyes glowing green like those of a hunter hunting at night.

Beside him, a two-meter-tall man stood on his stomach. On the other side, there was the skinny and gloomy man, a group of three, who were the three people I saw during the day, with different shapes outside the town, and took Jiang Xiaoqi as their prey.

At this time, their eyes all fell on the trunk of the tree not far away, staring at Jiang Xiaoqi who was lying on his side and sleeping, his eyes were full of greed, and his eyes looked at the young man like a lamb to the slaughter, let them handle it.

"Wait, we'll do it when this kid is asleep. ”

Obviously, the group of three people was led by the burly big man, listening to the words of the fat man spread beside him, the big man did not rashly make a move, but waited, waiting for the young man on the trunk to fall asleep before making a move, so as to ensure that nothing went wrong.

"Boom"

The forest is a little cold at night, and the breeze blows, which makes people feel a little chilly.

"Second and third, ready to do it. ”

Another hour passed, and the figure lying on the side of the tree trunk seemed to be really asleep, without the slightest movement, seeing this, the big man whispered softly and said to the two beside him. The three of them were determined in their hearts, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but raise a cruel smile, as if they had seen the miserable appearance of the young man kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

Hearing the whisper of the big man beside him, the two people beside him nodded silently, and the brilliant spiritual power brilliance began to surge around them, but under their precise control, such eye-catching colors in the night were suppressed to a minimum, like fireflies floating in the night sky, emitting a faint light.

"Hands-on. ”

With the command of the big man, the figures of the three people swept out at the same time, and the speeding figures did not make the slightest sound under the wrapping of spiritual power, and the figures of the three flashed, instantly surrounding the thick tree, and their tacit cooperation was reflected under the swift figure, it was obvious that it was not the first time they had done this kind of murderous and overselling business, and they were quite familiar with the process.

"Look, boss. ”

But at this moment, there was a sudden shout of the fat man beside him, the roar was enough to wake up the sleeping young man, and he resisted the urge to scold the fat man, and the big man looked in the direction he pointed, at this time, on the thick trunk, where was the figure of the young man.

Such an appearance made the cautious man's heart skip a beat, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

"Rewind"

Without the slightest hesitation, the big man stomped on the ground with the soles of his feet, and yelled at the two people on both sides, no longer hiding the spiritual power released from his body, and suddenly, a red yellow light was released from his body, and he flew back, and the experience of perennial robbery told him that it was better to retreat first.

"Since you're here, why leave in a hurry?"

At the moment when Dahan withdrew and flew back, a fluctuating chuckle fell on his ears, and then, Dahan heard the whistling wind behind him, and immediately stopped his retreating figure, and the afterglow was scattered, and a white-clothed figure slowly appeared behind him, and the young man's appearance was Jiang Xiaoqi who disappeared from the branches.
