Chapter 185: Old Monster
The next day, Zhong Xia rarely slept until the morning before waking up because of a knock on the door of his companion.
"Looks like you're really tired."
Outside the door stood Xiao Yuguan, Xun Pingzhi and Qingyin, Xun Zhiping said to Zhong Xia with a smile.
"You don't either."
Zhong Xia did not deny that the six hundred miles of Red Maple Plain, since the attack of the demon wolf pack began, they were entangled with the other three groups of monsters, and it took a full half a month to finally complete the last remaining two hundred miles.
During this period, there was hardly a complete four hours of sleep, and it can be said that when we arrived in this small town, everyone was mentally and physically overdrawn.
Among them, Zhong Xia is even more so, it is that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, as the captain of their team, Zhong Xia has to take on more responsibilities, pay more energy, and take care of the other three teammates while ensuring his own safety and interests.
If it weren't for this, these three people would not have taken the initiative to wake up Zhong Xia this morning.
After having breakfast in the inn, Zhong Xia and his teammates separated, and according to the address given by Bai Shi, the master of the Tianquan Sword Pavilion, they quickly found a pawnshop on a street in this small Yang Kingdom.
Yangguo is indeed not big, about the scale of a second-tier city in Zhong Xia's memory of his previous life, this street is full of shops and hawkers, rice shops, grocery stores, pawnshops, stalls, vegetable sellers, and rock sugar gourds along the street......
The pawnshop in front of Zhong Xia had a strange name, called Three Eyes, which made him inexplicably reminded of Lord Ma.
"Xiangrui Imperial Exemption, the house is safe!"
After trimming the hem of the yellow robe, Zhong Xia stepped into the pawnshop, and suddenly felt like he had stepped into another world.
After Zhong Xia lowered the curtain. The sunlight and temperature outside in the morning were all isolated behind the house, and the air in the pawnshop seemed to drop by more than ten degrees in an instant, like late autumn weather.
At the end of the sight, at the counter. An old man with silver hair stood there silently.
Intersected with the old man's gaze, and in an instant, Zhong Xia felt as if his body had turned into a ray of light, and he was sucked in by those eyes that were like black holes, and he couldn't feel a little bit of himself anymore!
Endless panic rose in Zhong Xia's heart!
But this feeling comes and goes faster. Coming and going, just a breath and a breath, but Zhong Xia felt like he had suddenly fallen from the Nine Heavens to the human world!
"Alright, you can go."
When Zhong Xia stabilized his mind, the old man had already closed his eyes. Slowly turned around and said an unquestionable rejection order.
"But ......"
Zhong Xia was stunned, he was coming to deliver the letter, the pawnshop's three eyes, coupled with the strangeness of this old man, obviously did not find the wrong person.
"I know the contents of the letter, you can go back."
The old man waved. Zhong Xia opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the blink of an eye. found that the whole body was not under his control, and walked out of the pawnshop step by step.
Walking out of the pawnshop afterwards, Zhong Xia was still stunned, and he didn't dare to enter the pawnshop again, thinking back to the old man's appearance, but only those black hole-like eyes were imprinted in the bottom of his heart. But he was not impressed by his appearance at all.
"An old monster, it's better to mess with less!"
Zhong Xia felt a chill in his heart. Hurriedly left the street and returned to the inn.
In your own room. Zhong Xia thought about it, but decided to take out the letter that Baishi gave him, and then carefully opened the envelope, but what he took out was a blank piece of paper.
A real blank sheet of paper, blank.
Zhong Xia suddenly felt an indescribable grievance, how could the masters of this demon world act in such a strange way?
There was a headache, Zhong Xia knew that although he was a little clever and his combat wisdom was good, but when it came to these conspiracies, he still couldn't compare to these old guys who made people feel cold in their hearts unconsciously.
All of them have lived for hundreds of years, or they have unfathomable strength, no matter what aspect they are, Zhong Xia is not at the same level as them now.
――――――――――
The next day, everyone set out on the way back, maybe they had already cleaned up those stronger demon beast races when they came, but along the way, they were quiet.
It only took seven days, a hundred miles a day, and the twenty-two people finally returned to the Tianyuan Sect and went to the various sword pavilions of Tianyuan Peak respectively.
The Sword Pavilion Pavilion Master summoned them individually, and Zhong Xia was the last one to be summoned.
"Very good, I really didn't see the wrong person, now, you are my adopted son." Shiraishi's tone was unmistakable.
Zhong Xia could only roll his eyes in the face of him in his heart, this would be someone else's cheap son, but he didn't show anything on his face, otherwise others would be holding Bai Dian's death and really wanted to investigate it, he would definitely not be able to please him.
Bai Shi asked Zhong Xia about his life experience, and Zhong Xia told him the background that the main god had prepared for him, that is, he was born in a rural family near Yangguo, and when he was more than ten years old, he was favored by the Tianyuan Sect when he sent people to Yangguo to recruit disciples, so he entered the Tianyuan Sect.
In general, Zhong Xia's background is very innocent, the closest country near the Tianyuan Sect is the Yang Kingdom, and there are many disciples in the entire Tianyuan Sect who are from the Yang Kingdom.
"Well, you go back and practice first, if you can enter the ranking set by the Venerables at the Leaping Dragon Gate Meeting, then I will start teaching you personally."
A personal professor of a Sword Pavilion Pavilion Master with strong combat power?
When Zhong Xia heard this, he couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, you must know that every pavilion master of the Seven Star Sword Pavilion, if you talk about combat strength alone, then it is second only to the Seven Peaks Venerable, and the lowest is a Jindan powerhouse, and in the entire Xuanqi Continent, they are all famous masters.
"It will live up to expectations!"
After Zhong Xia said goodbye and left, he didn't go back to his small courtyard immediately, but found the other three people and went to Xiaofang with them.
――――――――――
"The purple bamboo liquid can be mixed with the Moon Yin Grass to refine a bottle of Moon Flower Dew, as for the spirit wood branch, it would be too wasteful to just absorb it like this, it is a good material for refining magic weapons, but this spirit wood branch is too small, I'm afraid it can only refine some small things."
Ever since Zhong Xia heard about the effects of these three things in the small workshop, he had been thinking about who to find to help refine the medicine, and if it wasn't really for the impossible, he wouldn't have considered going to Baishi for help.
Although this guy is nominally his cheap adoptive father now, but there is no affection for each other, Zhong Xia is very sure that he is a chess piece and is pulled into the whirlpool of a major event by him.
It's too late to clear up the relationship, Zhong Xia doesn't want to have any more personal debts, and he can't say that he will have to pay it back by himself when the time comes, and he can't pay it off.
"Then, if I want to say that I know the only one who can refine Yuehua Dew, this is the only one."
Zhong Xia muttered among the sects, and then decisively went to Yurou Peak and found Elder Huang.
Just a month ago, Zhong Xia was very bloody because of Elder Huang's welfare task of picking blue heart grass.
However, when this Elder Huang received the Blue Heart Grass, of course he didn't care about the process, handing over the grass with one hand and Dan with the other, and he was as selfless as an online game NPC.
"Refining the Moonflower Dew?"
When Zhong Xia came to the door and explained his intentions, Elder Huang was a little surprised, and looked Zhong Xia up and down carefully, and his demeanor quietly changed.
Elder Huang thought for a moment, nodded, agreed to Zhong Xia, and asked: "The two main materials are good, but the amount is still too small, you can only practice a small bottle, and the other excipients are not precious, I can help you out, but artificial medicine...... What do you get paid? ”
Zhong Xia thought that the small bottle of Yuehualu was not bad, it was enough for himself for seven nights, plus the large bottle of Yuehualu that Baishi gave him was still left, at least the next month and a half without worrying, and the last half month, it would be used to practice the spell with all his strength.
Zhong Xia took out the spirit wood branch, and Elder Huang looked at the quality, his eyes were a little disdainful, but he still did not refuse, but said: "For the sake of Senior Brother Baishi, I will reluctantly help you open the furnace once, and come to me at this time tomorrow." ”
Seeing this, Zhong Xia also sincerely thanked the other party, after all, although this Yue Hua Lu was very beneficial to the cultivation of these Qi Refining Realm disciples, it was still a low-grade medicine, and with the level of Elder Huang's immersion in the Dan Dao for decades, refining this thing was really overkill.
