Chapter 23: Retreat
In the pitch-black confinement room, Xue Hao was thinking about life, that is, in a daze. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At first, the dark stone chamber was still a bit oozing. Xue Hao is essentially an adult, and after getting used to the darkness, he is no longer afraid, but a little more curious about this stone room.
This stone chamber is underground, but it is not cold and damp, but it makes people feel very comfortable. Xue Hao also felt that the Heaven and Earth Yuan Force in this stone room was much stronger than that in the outside world, and it was a good place to cultivate.
A long time ago, this place should have been a cultivation room, a place for people to retreat and cultivate.
Xue Hao wanted to cultivate Yuan Li here, but he couldn't calm down. Xue Ling'er's departure had too much impact on him.
He couldn't help but think about a question: Why do I want to cultivate, why do I want to be a demon hunter?
Because he wants to avenge his grandfather? This is one thing, but the bigger reason is that he wanted to become a demon hunter in the past, so that he could not be bullied and have a stable home.
This is an unequal and class-divided world, and Xue Hao can only have a good life if he works hard to become a demon hunter. But now, Xue Ling'er is gone.
Having a stable home has always been Xue Hao's dream. But recently, he has been busy with cultivation and has no time to accompany Xue Ling'er or Xiaobai. He's always putting the cart before the horse!
It wasn't until this moment that Xue Hao realized that he was wrong. Money is important, becoming a demon hunter is important, revenge is also important, but the most important thing is Xue Ling'er, it is his home!
Xue Hao didn't know where Xue Ling'er went, he just wanted to find her now and tell her: "Sister, I don't need you to become strong, and I don't need you to help me, I just need you, I just want to be happy with you." ”
Thinking of all this, Xue Hao forcibly calmed down and worked hard to cultivate, he wanted to become strong and find Xue Ling'er.

"Young master, I'm here to bring you food. Li Qing opened the stone door and walked into the stone room with a lunch box. In the past few days, he has been responsible for delivering food to Xue Hao.
"Thank you, Uncle Qing. ”
Li Qing put the stone box on the stone table, glanced back at Xue Hao before leaving, and couldn't help but say, "Young Master, three days have passed, aren't you going out?"
"No, it's good here. Xue Hao said, "By the way, next time you come, help me bring my iron and wooden stick, it's troublesome." ”
Li Qing left the stone room and came to Shi Chen's study.
"General, young master, he still doesn't want to come out. ”
"Is he still angry with me?" Shi Chen was helpless, he thought that Xue Hao's childish nature was angry with him, "Has Xue Ling'er found it?
Li Qing shook his head: "I didn't find it, there is only a clue, Xue Ling'er left with a beautiful woman, I don't know what identity it is." It seems that Xue Ling'er worshiped the master. ”
Shi Chen: "If you don't find it, forget it, it's not easy to find someone." ”
"General, it seems that the young master is not angry with you, but cultivating inside. He also asked me to send his iron sticks. ”
"Oh?" Shi Chen was surprised, of course he knew that it was a good place to cultivate, but in such a dark stone room deep underground, what kind of mind did a young man need to cultivate in it? You must know that Shi Lei was silent when he mentioned the confinement room.
――――
Xue Hao, who got the iron stick, began to practice the stick technique in the underground stone room. The space in the stone chamber was not small, enough for him to spread.
In the dark stone room, Xue Hao simply closed his eyes and practiced the collapse stick. You don't need to look at it, just feel the force coming from the stick with your body, and feel every subtle movement of your body.
In this way, the stick method has actually improved extremely fast.
After practicing the stick method, he cultivated the Yuan force, and then practiced the stick method, ate when he was hungry, and sleep for a while when he was sleepy, Xue Hao lived in the stone room like this.
Ten days later, Xue Hao estimated that the time for the Demon Hunting Seed Election was coming, and he needed to set off. The Demon Hunting Seed Election was not held in the Tianqin Empire, but in the Tianqin Empire's neighbor, the Ten Thousand Beasts Empire.
The Empire of Ten Thousand Beasts, a country much more powerful than the Tianqin Empire.
"What, don't let me go?" Xue Hao didn't expect to get such an answer from Shi Chen.
Shi Chen: "You haven't broken through to the realm of martial arts yet, your natal life has no condensation, and you haven't even practiced a small CD with a broken stick, what are you going to do?" There is no hope at all, it is better to practice well in the mansion, and when you break through to the martial artist, it is not too late to go next time." ”
"Anyway, you're 12 years old, and you'll be 14 years old at the next election, so you can still sign up. After you break through the realm of martial arts, you will be sure of nine out of ten when you participate in the Demon Hunting Seed Election, why bother to rush so far now and be eliminated again, not to mention wasting time and energy, it also hits your confidence and affects your mood. ”
"I have already sent someone to send Shi Lei to the Ten Thousand Beasts Empire yesterday, so you can stay in the mansion and cultivate with peace of mind. From now on, until you break through the martial artist realm, you are not allowed to leave the mansion for a single step!"
Xue Hao realized that Shi Chen had no intention of letting him give it a try. He left with his head drooped and came to the study, he needed to find a clue, is it really difficult to break through the martial artist realm and pass the Demon Hunting Seed Election?
Xue Hao had already been a martial artist in the third stage a long time ago, but after such a long time, coupled with the cultivation in the confinement room, there was still no sign of breaking through to the martial artist. It's his collapse, he has a feeling, and he will soon be able to reach the realm of Xiaocheng, just one opportunity away.
In the study, Xue Hao checked a lot of information about the Demon Hunting Seed Election, but the more he looked, the more disappointed he became. It's not that the strength of the third stage of the martial artist can't be selected, but only the real peerless genius will be selected.
For example, Xue Hao saw that a young man who was ten years old had the strength of a martial artist's third stage, and the natal weapon was a high-grade weapon such as a long sword, so he passed the Demon Hunting Seed Election.
And he, the twelve-year-old martial artist Sandan, plus the stick, which can only be regarded as an inferior natal weapon among weapons, is impossible to be selected at all.
The martial artist realm, the natal condensation type, is too important. Only by entering the realm of martial artists can you step into the door of cultivation. And countless people have been stuck in the realm of the third stage of martial artists all their lives, and they can't break through the martial arts, and they will always be just ordinary people. This is also the reason why only by breaking through the martial artist can you pass the Demon Hunting Seed Election.
Breaking through to a martial artist before the age of fifteen is in itself a manifestation of talent.
Xue Hao stumbled upon a message called "Witcher Mission" in the book. With something called Honor Points, the Witcher can post various bounty quests in the Sanctuary.
He found that this was a way to find Xue Ling'er, and only in a place like the Holy Court could he easily do things that ordinary people couldn't do.
Xue Hao's desire to become a demon hunter and join the Holy Court became even stronger. However, now he has no ability or hope to pass the Demon Hunting Seed election.
Suddenly, Xue Hao saw an inconspicuous message in the Demon Hunter Seed Election released by the Holy Court. His eyes lit up, and hope welled up in his heart.
Although it was only a glimmer of hope, Xue Hao was willing to do his best to give it a try.
