The thunderstorm was silent overnight, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard of the inn seemed to grow a little more lush. Xu Xiaojing stood in the courtyard and breathed in the air mixed with the fragrance of plants and trees, feeling much refreshed.

Lan Qing's door opened, and today's Lan Qing was wearing the blue sea glass dress, which matched today's weather very well, and the whole person exuded a fresh feeling.

Although Xu Xiaojing had seen it countless times, her immunity to Lan Qing had not improved at all, and she looked at Lan Qing directly.

Lan Qing's face turned red when Xu Xiaojing saw it, stomped her foot, and said angrily, "What are you looking at?"

Anyway, Xu Xiaojing is also thick-skinned, reached up and pinched Lan Qing's puffy face, and said, "Yo, what's wrong, I don't think my daughter-in-law is good." ”

Lan Qing stomped Xu Xiaojing's foot lightly, and scolded with a smile: "Who is your daughter-in-law, hum!"

"Oh, that's it, it seems that our little Qingqing has a lot of skills. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and squeaked at Lan Qing's waist.

Lan Qing was tickled by Xu Xiaojing, and shouted as she ran: "I was wrong, I was wrong, can't I admit defeat?" Xu Xiaojing let her go.

At this time, Qiu Lao also pushed the door out, and when he saw the two people playing in the courtyard, he also looked helpless, coughed and said, "Okay, okay, don't make trouble, pack up and get ready to go." ”

When Xu Xiaojing and the others saw that Qiu Lao had come out, they also restrained their playful mood, followed Qiu Lao, and went out of the city gate. When Xu Xiaojing and the three of them arrived, there were several people waiting outside the city gate, and they were in a clear array, each occupying a place to rest.

Xu Xiaojing swept away, he didn't know any of these camps, and it was only after seeing Bai Bai in one of the camps that he knew that it was the team of Tianxing Academy.

There were a total of five people from the Heavenly Star Academy this time, and the leader of the team was an old man with white hair. Xu Xiaojing felt it, and felt that the old man should also be in the early stage of the Soul Melting Realm. After seeing Xu Xiaojing and them coming, he nodded towards Qiu Lao's position as a gesture.

I also saw Xu Xiaojing during the day, stretched out my hand to greet him, Xu Xiaojing nodded at the day, and found that the day was already in the foundation building realm. However, the day was already in the realm of Qi cultivation, and now it is understandable that he has advanced to the realm of foundation building, Xu Xiao didn't think much about it, and looked at the three people beside him.

These three people, a man and two women, the man looked ordinary, dressed in a white robe, sitting there, looking quite imposing. And the two girls are twins, both wearing light green dresses, and their looks are a little cute.

Except for the young man who is in the middle stage of foundation building, the rest of these three people are in the early stage of foundation building, so this time the Heavenly Star Academy is also headed by this person.

Xu Xiaojing looked at the other camps one after another, and found that the leaders were basically in the Soul Melting Realm. Among these camps, there are more and less people, the team with more people has eight or nine people, and the team with fewer people is like Xu Xiaojing and them, there are only two or three people.

But no matter how many or small the number is, all of these disciples are cultivators of the foundation building realm, and the person who is the leader of them is a realm cultivation above the middle stage of foundation building.

Then there were people arriving one after another, but they were not familiar with each other, so no one took the initiative to talk, and only the Soul Melting Realm Ancestors of the various camps would say hello a little when they saw each other.

Of course, when these visitors saw Qiu Lao, they would all nod to Qiu Lao without exception as a gesture.

Qiu Lao stood there lightly, seeing that the people were almost here, he said, "Since everyone is almost there, then let's go." ”

After speaking, Qiu Lao took the lead in sacrificing his heavenly calligraphy treasure, and flew towards the ruins with Xu Xiaojing and the others.

When everyone saw this, they also sacrificed their magic weapons one after another, and followed with their disciples.

Along the way, Qiu Lao introduced Xu Xiaojing to the camps of the various parties and the exercises and tricks they were good at. Then Qiu Lao threw Xu Xiaojing a map again, only to see that there were many marks circled on the map.

Xu Xiaojing looked at Qiu Lao in confusion and asked, "Qiu Lao, what is this?"

Qiu Lao explained, "This is the map of the ruins that we have summarized over the years. The map is marked with a white dot for a safe zone, a red dot is a danger zone, a red triangle is drawn for an extremely dangerous zone, and a red cross is drawn for a Jedi. ”

"In fact, the treasures in this ruins have basically been looted by our desolate academy at the beginning, so the main thing in your trip is to hunt the spirit beasts in the ruins and take their beast cores. Qiu Lao said again.

Listening to Qiu Lao's words, Xu Xiaojing was a little puzzled, and said, "Is there anything special about the spirit beasts here?"

Qiu Lao patiently said to Xu Xiaojing: "This is also the value of the existence of this ruin, the environment in this ruin is unique, so the spirit beasts have undergone slight mutations. They are all beast cores that can promote the condensation of divine souls, and the condensation of divine souls is the most important step in building a foundation towards the soul melting realm, so all forces are eager to do so. ”

"Of course, there are still many medicinal materials in this ruins, and sometimes if you are lucky, you can even meet some extremely rare heavenly and earthly treasures, which is also one of the purposes of our visit. ”

"But ....." only listened to Qiu's old words, and looked at Xu Xiaojing with a smile.

Xu Xiaojing looked at Qiu Lao's eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little hairy in her heart, and always had a bad premonition.

I only heard Qiu Lao slowly speak: "The snobbery who came here this time are all the top forces in each county, their family has a big business, and there are many disciples in the sect, so they need a beast core to increase the foundation of the academy or sect." And the two of you are different, we are just the two of you in the Desert Academy, and we don't need any background, so the purpose of your coming here this time is different from theirs. ”

Speaking of this, Qiu Lao paused, and then said to Xu Xiaojing with a warm smile: "So this trip to the ruins is an experience for you, and it is also a graduation assessment for you. There is a place in this ruins called Soul Washing Valley, and there is a flower in Soul Washing Valley called Soul Washing Flower, and your task is to have three Soul Washing Flowers per person. As for the exact location, it is already marked on the map. Of course, you can also hunt some spirit beasts, after all, those beast cores are still of some use to your current realm. ”

"So, finally, good luck to you. Qiu Lao said, giving Xu Xiaojing a warm smile again.

It's just that such a smile looks so terrible in Xu Xiaojing's eyes, with bad intentions, and there is always a bad premonition in his heart.

Xu Xiaojing opened the map and found the location of the Soul Washing Valley at a glance, and a conspicuous red triangle was marked on it. Xu Xiaojing suddenly had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears, and the red on the map at this time was extremely dazzling in Xu Xiaojing's eyes.

Xu Xiaojing looked at Qiu Lao pitifully, Qiu Lao didn't speak, this was to give him a faint smile and let Xu Xiaojing understand on his own.

Finally, after more than an hour of trekking, Xu Xiaojing and his party came to the final destination of the trip, the Blood Soul Mountain Range.

And the entrance to the ruins is on a peak in this mountain range, but this entrance has an enchantment seal, and the dean of the desolate academy also walked in by chance back then, and then left a mark.

Every ten years, the barrier at this relic will have a weak period, which is why the relic only opens once every ten years.

"Everyone, take a break, and wait until three o'clock in the afternoon, when this barrier is at its weakest, and then we will work together to open the barrier and enter the ruins. Qiu Lao said lightly to everyone.

Naturally, everyone would not have any opinions, after all, whether it was cultivation or familiarity with the ruins, no one here could stand out from the old age.

Now there is still some time before three o'clock in the afternoon, so everyone picked a place to rest, and by the way, they recovered the consumption just now.
