Chapter 52: Old Things (3)

Zhao Zixiao's cultivation qualifications are the same as his own appearance, they are all mediocre, if he is not a disciple of the Zhao family, I am afraid that with his talent, he will not even be able to enter the door of the Zhao family.

What is rare is that he has a heart that is a little more ruthless than others, and this ruthlessness is first reflected in himself. In his usual cultivation, he always got up earlier and went to bed later than others, desperately grabbed all the cultivation resources and climbed up, and in a few years, he also broke through to the third-order great spirit master in cultivation, he relied on his natal spiritual weapon, a purple scimitar, in the night city, where cultivation seedlings were already scarce, and others gave him a name: Purple Moon Scimitar Zhao Zixiao.

Coupled with his sleek style of doing things left and right, he was quite optimistic about several elders in the clan, and some of the usual daily affairs that were not major were also handed over to him to manage, and gradually even other children in the clan began to chase him one after another, saying that he would definitely be the successor of the patriarch of this term.

Zhao Yuan has served as the patriarch for more than ten years, and has not set the heir of the patriarch, from the usual performance, it can be seen that he is not very satisfied with the children in the current clan, and in recent years, he has even begun to increase the recruitment of new people, but there are still few good qualifications, Zhao Zixiao sees it in his eyes and is happy in his heart.

It wasn't until Shen Boxian's appearance that Zhao Yuan's excited performance gave him a hint of crisis, but after exploring Shen Boxian's strength, this crisis gradually faded.

Now it's not even a spirit person, what's the use of having good qualifications? Xu is patriarch looked away.

Zhao Zixiao relaxed when he thought about it in his heart, and he didn't feel sorry for Shen Boxian in the following days, but dutifully led the new children of the clan to practice daily, looking like a talkative senior brother, even Shen Boxian had a little respect for him in his heart, but Qing'e didn't seem to like him very much, Shen Boxian asked a few times and didn't ask the reason, so he could only smile helplessly, and he thought that she was a little girl.

Shen Boxian's breakthrough to the first-order spirit master was slower than everyone else, and everyone in the clan didn't understand why the patriarch spent so much effort on him, and he personally guided him every day, and after he broke through to the first-order spirit master, he personally took him by his side to teach.

While the patriarch's children were all discussing this issue enthusiastically, Zhao Zixiao never said a word, just because he had only inquired from an elder earlier that Shen Boxian's breakthrough to a first-order spiritual master this time was actually a dual-line spiritual power!

In the entire Zhao family, only Zhao Yuan is a dual-line spiritual power, so it's no wonder that he values Shen Boxian so much.

Zhao Zixiao clenched his fists, turned around and left, and began a more rigorous cultivation.

It is also wonderful to say that before Shen Boxian broke through to the first-order spirit master, he always felt that the speed of his absorption of spiritual power was very slow, but this situation was reversed after breaking through to the first-order spirit master, and the speed of absorbing spiritual power was dozens of times faster, coupled with the guidance of the patriarch, his cultivation growth could be described as a thousand miles a day.

However, in three or four years, Shen Boxian's cultivation reached the third-order great spirit master at a speed visible to the naked eye, and at this time, Zhao Zixiao had already failed to attack the fourth-order spirit master for the fifth time.

Those children who once agreed that Zhao Zixiao would become the heir to the patriarch also began to waver a little.

Shen Boxian's natal spiritual weapon is a long sword, and the spiritual power he cultivates is wind and fire, and the sword that he has refined is also white and red, some close to pink, and it is very good-looking. And Zhao Zixiao is famous for his natal spirit weapon purple scimitar, and when outsiders mention the Zhao family, they will think of these two people for the first time, and then I don't know who gave them a good name, and it has been circulated in Night City and its surroundings for a long time.

Pink Dai long sword Shen Boxian, purple moon scimitar Zhao Zixiao.

When Shen Boxian heard this, he just smiled innocently, and said with some embarrassment: "It's they who praise it." ”

And Zhao Zixiao didn't say anything, with a consistent smile on his face, but a trace of darkness flashed in his eyes when he lowered his head.

Soon after, a mad spirit beast appeared in the northwest of Night City, threatening the surrounding villages, coinciding with the retreat of the patriarch, several elders of the clan got together to discuss, and finally decided to send Zhao Zixiao to take Shen Boxian and Qing'e to find out the situation and then report back to the clan, trying not to disturb the mad spirit beast first.

The three of them have worked together many times in the past, Shen Boxian and Zhao Zixiao's strength is the best in the clan, and Qing'e has also reached the third-order spirit master, even if this lineup encounters a difficult spirit beast, there is no problem in escaping.

So almost everyone thought that this was just an ordinary task in the clan, but they didn't want to, but this trip changed the fate of the three people.

It was a spirit beast that looked like an ape, with a snow-white body, four black hooves, and a beast face that was blood-red like fire, a third-order spirit beast ape demon beast.

Shen Boxian and the three of them hid their breath and observed in the jungle not far away, the ape demon beast was roaring with scarlet eyes at this time, and swaying the surrounding trees indiscriminately, and the trees that were thick enough for one person were directly broken by its palm, and sawdust flew in all directions.

"At this level of rage, I'm afraid we can catch up with the destructive power of the fourth-order demonic beasts, let's hurry back and report to the elders and ask them to take action."

Shen Boxian thought for a moment before finally saying this.

Qing'e also agreed, and the two were about to turn around and leave when a broken tree suddenly appeared a few meters in front of them.

"Oops, I was discovered by the Ape Demon Beast!"

Shen Boxian hurriedly pulled Qing'e, called Zhao Zixiao, and fled in the direction of the rapid coming.

After a stick of incense, Shen Boxian looked back and saw that the ape jumped several feet with the help of the surrounding trees, and seeing that it was about to reach a place where people lived, Shen Boxian stopped.

"No, this ape beast is too fast, this place is not far from Night City, you go to the clan to call someone, I'll hold it here for a while."

After Shen Boxian finished speaking, he directly sacrificed the natal spirit weapon.

Qing'e opened her mouth to say something, but was stopped by Zhao Zixiao.

"Don't worry, with Boxian's cultivation, it's no problem to hold it for a while."

After that, Zhao Zixiao took Qing'e with a worried face and rushed towards the direction of Night City.

When he was about to reach the gate of the night city, Zhao Zixiao stopped, put Qing'e down and said:

"Qing'e, this place is not far from the clan, you go and call someone, and I'll go back to help Boxian."

After that, Zhao Zixiao didn't wait for Qing'e to say anything, and went in the direction of Shen Boxian.

It was raining in the sky without warning, and Shen Boxian, who was trying his best to fight the ape demonic beast, sensed that there was someone behind him, and looked sideways slightly.

"Senior Brother Zixiao? How did you get back? ”

Zhao Zixiao still had the same expression, with the purple scimitar in his hand, and said:

"I sent Qing'e to Night City, and I'll come back first to help you share a few points."

Shen Boxian didn't ask much when he heard this, nodded and rushed forward again, the long sword buzzed and collided with the sharp claws of the Demon Ape Beast, leaving only Zhao Zixiao with an unsuspecting back.
