Section 15 Promotion to the first grade
Huhuhu~
The snowfall in February finally fell, and the goose-feather-like snow made the already white Yuquan Mountain even more icy, like a majestic giant lying flat between heaven and earth, covered with a layer of snow-white quilt.
Snowflakes were raging, wind and rain were mixed, and many poor houses could not withstand the wind and snow, the old door panels were squeaked, the windows were scattered everywhere, and even the roof tiles were pressed out of a large hole, and when you looked up, you could see the vast blue sky, full of devastation.
"Wow~Wow~Wow~"
The infant baby was frightened and cried when he encountered this severe weather, but he did not know that the cradle he was in, stuffed with thick cotton, was already the warmest place in the house.
"Boss, how good is this, the child has not eaten milk powder all day, and if it continues like this, he will have to die of hunger. The woman in the burrow was anxious when she heard the child's long cry, and her beautiful eyes were filled with tears of worry.
On the round table beside her, a shirtless strong man covered in scars, shivering from the cold, rubbing his hands constantly, and spitting cold air from his mouth.
"You ask me, how do I know? In this kind of weather, I can't go out at all, if I don't go out, I can't hunt, I can't hunt, I don't have Lingyuan to earn, even the last cotton jacket on my body has been taken out and sold, and the money has already bought milk powder yesterday and finished drinking it for the child. ”
When the woman heard this, she became even more angry, and cried out anxiously: "Why did I fall blind to such a worthless person as you in the first place? Don't you know how long the old king of the next village has been chasing me? You promised in every possible way that I would marry you if I would let me live a good life, but now? People live in big houses, and they have money to drink rice wine, and look at the shabby house we live in! Even a piece of wind and snow can't cover it, it's really useless!"
In the face of the woman's series of accusations, the shirtless man was silent, and his face was full of self-reproach: "Ah Lian, you know, for you and the child, I hunted day and night, and I was covered with scars, just to let you live a good life, but now the weather can't go out? Let's wait patiently, maybe the snow will stop after a while." ”
When the woman heard this, she was as angry as a prawn in a pot, and she jumped up: "When will we go?" We can wait, how can you let the child wait, hmph, I don't believe your nonsense anymore! I'll go to Brother Wang to borrow money." ”
After the woman left, the shirtless man walked to the cradle, looked at the child who kept crying in the cradle, smiled bitterly, raised his head again, looked at the snowfall in the sky, and sighed: "This damn ghost weather, when is it a head..."
Su family
"Rise !!" Su Mou sat cross-legged on the bed, his breath was constantly changing, the waves in the spiritual body were born and destroyed, and the spiritual sea set off a thousand waves, rolling and tumbling!
Whoa!
The waves stirred up by the waves were no weaker than the heavy snow outside, and the elixir soon showed a trace of cracks!
"Today is already the tenth day, since I came back from Su Xian, I haven't gone out to toss Lingyuan and materials anymore, I have been immersed in intensive cultivation, and today I have finally achieved some results, and now I am only one step away from the first realm of Yipin, and I will work harder to break through the realm in one fell swoop!"
"Ah~up!" Su Mou snorted, and the white light on his body became stronger and stronger, almost dazzling.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
The frequency of the spiritual sea rolling faster and faster, without the slightest pause in the middle, rushed towards the torrent in the middle of the sea, and the two waves were like two wrestling bulls, crashing together, forming a large wave explosion.
At this moment, the cracks of the elixir also changed from a thread to a strip, cracked like a web, all over the surface of the elixir.
Rumble!
Finally, after the fifty-fourth wave collided, it became the last straw that crushed the camel, and the elixir exploded with a bang, sprinkling a cloud of white light powder on Su Mou's spiritual body, like fireflies gathering at night, dazzling and white.
These white light powders seemed to have received an order, concentrated to one point, and formed a new elixir, slowly floating in the air, as if being supported by someone with both hands, little by little towards the spiritual sea to climb, and when it climbed to a certain extent, it was not shaking, it was stationed at one point, and it did not move.
"It's done! A product of the first realm!" Su Mou's eyes flashed, a little excited, since his rebirth, he has finally taken a step forward, although the pace is small, but it is also a kind of progress.
Su Mou, who had two lifetimes of cultivation experience, knew very well how difficult it was for a spirit to ascend to the realm, but now it only took him ten days to break through a small realm, which completely depended on his ninefold spirit qualifications.
Feeling the new changes in his body, Su Mou was hearty, and the pleasure of this kind of practice was more comfortable and wonderful than that of men and women.
Clenched his fists, Su Mou felt that the aura in his body was even more abundant.
If Su Mou's aura was thin before, he could only release the Hidden Mist Blade once or twice, but now Su Mou can release the Hidden Mist Blade four or five times, which is the difference in strength brought about by the strength of cultivation.
Being able to use a few more long-range attacks can sometimes save a life, and you can't underestimate it!
"Okay, the cultivation has improved, so let's find a way to refine the invisibility cloak next. "Su Mou's goal has never changed, whether he joins the Ministry of Intelligence or not, he is focused on exploring the six-finger inheritance in the Su family, as for the internal struggle within the Su family, he is also based on the premise of self-preservation, how can a small family compare with a god-level inheritance?
The reason why he joined Su Xian's intelligence department was also to open a convenient door for himself.
Before, Su Mou did not join the Ministry of Intelligence, and it was difficult to collect materials for the invisibility cloak everywhere, that was because Su Xian could not determine Su Mou's position, he had to be pressed tightly, and there was also his calculation in it.
Now that Su Mou has made his position clear, there is no need for Su Xian to be so stubborn, he still wants to use Su Mou to deal with Su Da, if he doesn't give him some room to grow, how can Su Mou become a qualified chess piece?
Therefore, the convenience in terms of materials and spiritual weapons is inevitable, and that is because Su Xian has not been systematically trained by the academy and does not know how to refine weapons!
Su Xian will think, don't you want Lingyuan? Don't you want materials? Okay, I'll get out of the way for you now, if you have the ability, you can take it yourself, and you won't be able to refine the weapon anyway.
Su Xian also ate Su Mou's sore spots, so he would unscrupulously open this convenient door for Su Mou.
And there is another advantage to doing this, that is, through the situation of being blocked everywhere before joining the Ministry of Intelligence, and the convenience and smoothness after joining the Ministry of Intelligence, there is a contrast between before and after, so that Su Mou is grateful, and it is also a kind of grace, so that Su Mou feels that the choice to join the Ministry of Intelligence is not wrong, and there are many benefits to being covered!
This is tight and loose, and Su Xian has already controlled Su Mou in the palm of his hand, playing with it at will.
Su Mou saw this clearly, so he firmly believed that he would not be hindered from going out to collect invisibility cloak materials again, and even Su Xian might be fueling the trouble, because Su Xian's ultimate goal was to use Su Mou to deal with Su Da.
"The news that I joined the Intelligence Department spread overnight in the Su family, and he must have done it in order to prevent me from being false and wronged, and promised on the surface to secretly develop his power, release the news first, and block my back road. This Su Xian is really not simple, no wonder he has such achievements in the Su family at the age of only his early twenties, and he is a personal masterpiece. Su Mou commented very pertinently, those who achieve great things must first have an appreciative attitude towards their opponents, and must not have negative emotions and let their thinking be too limited and rigid, which Su Mou has always done very well.
"Since you want to use me, then there must be a backhand next!" Su Mou thought, and slowly, he walked out of the house.
As soon as he opened the door of the house, the flying snow outside, mixed with the wind, was like thousands of swords, slashing across Su Mou's immature cheeks.
At this time, a person was ushered in front of him, this person was wearing a brown and yellow thick cotton jacket, a yellow hat on his head, and yellow leather boots under his feet.
When he came to the front, he saluted and said: "The third son, in Xia Su Ying, on the order of the second son, invite the third son to go to the meeting." ”
"Oh, it's really coming!" Su Mou on the front foot was still guessing that Su Xian would have a back hand, and someone on the back foot would come to the door.
He smiled lightly: "Since it was the second brother who invited you, let's set off immediately." ”
Without excuses, Su Mou walked with Su Ying happily, and there were two more deep footprints in the white world...
In Su Xian's house
"Third brother, sit down. All the way to the wind and frost, frozen bad, I just made a bowl of ginger soup to warm up the cold. Su Xian pulled Su Mou to sit down next to him, poured a bowl of ginger soup, and smiled attentively.
Su Mou couldn't help but think in his heart: "Each of the Su family's first ministers must have at least three grades, this Su Xian, as a third-grade spirit, in the face of me, a first-grade spirit, can put his body so low, it is really an extremely rare character." On the surface, he was still not surprised, took the ginger soup, and said suspiciously: "The second brother called his brother here today, I don't know what happened?"
Su Xian smiled, sat on the main seat, and got to the point: "I don't know if the third brother knows about the blind snake?"
When Su Mou heard this, he guessed some clues, and said quietly: "What the second brother is talking about is the kind of blind snake that hibernates all year round and never takes the initiative to attack anything?"
Blind snakes are also a very common creature in the spirit world, this type of snake has no sentient ability, they can only listen to sounds but cannot see, and because of this, they love music.
Blind snakes stay underground for a long time, eat red soil for food, never take the initiative to expose the ground, their vitality is very tenacious, no matter what kind of climate can survive underground, hungry to eat soil, full to sleep.
Su Xian nodded: "That's right, that's it." As soon as the words fell, Su Xian looked at Su Mou with ill will: "The second brother opened a restaurant in Hedong City, called Miaoxiangyuan, and the third brother should not go less." ”
Su Mou showed a look of surprise, and said with an epiphany: "It turns out that Miaoxiang Courtyard was opened by the second brother, why didn't you say it earlier!Hey~ If I had known that it was opened by the second brother, then I would have joined the Intelligence Department a long time ago, and I still have to wait until today?
Su Xian laughed and said, "Haha, what the third brother said is that the second brother is confused, hahaha!"
"Then I don't know what this matter has to do with the blind snake?" Su Mou changed his words.
Su Xian was stunned for a moment, and then responded: "The third brother doesn't know, the wine in Miaoxiang Courtyard is made from the gallbladder of a blind snake, so it is called snake gall wine, this wine is extremely pure, three cups are drunk, and five cups are poured." The second brother has earned a lot of spiritual yuan from it, but I don't know what happened recently, these blind snakes have all disappeared all of a sudden, and I have sent a lot of good hands to catch blind snakes but I haven't seen them, but I'm sad to death. This invitation, I want to ask the third brother to take action, catch these blind snakes for me to come back, you are a spirit, it is naturally easy to catch these gadgets, and let those useless rice buckets see, the third brother's ability. ”
Su Mou grinned, he knew Su Xian's intentions now.
Su Xian ostensibly asked him to catch the blind snake, but in fact, it was a waste of his time, and he specialized in the art industry, and these people who specialized in catching blind snakes couldn't catch it, so how could Su Mou, a hairy boy, catch it? Even if he is a spirit, of course, this may also be an excuse for Su Xian to coax Su Mou, to catch the blind snake can greatly consume Su Mou's time, and the direct result of consuming Su Mou's time is that his cultivation stops, which is Su Xian's real purpose.
However, Su Mou is not in a hurry now, he is in need of a sum of spirit yuan, catching a blind snake can get a lot of spirit yuan, as far as he knows, a pot of snake gall wine in Miaoxiang Yuan can sell a spirit yuan.
And the gallbladder of a blind snake can only brew a pot of snake gall wine, that is to say, Su Mou went to catch the blind snake, and one could be sold for the price of one Lingyuan, and with Lingyuan Su Mou, he could refine the materials for the invisibility cloak.
Su Xian's move is in the hands of Su Mou!
However, Su Mou would not agree to be so happy.
"Thank you for the second brother's love, but the younger brother is afraid that his lack of ability will delay the second brother's business, so he really has more than enough heart and not enough strength. ”
Su Xian waved his hand indifferently: "Eh~ How can I not know the ability of the third brother?
This drinking snake gall wine and catching a blind snake are completely two different concepts, and Su Xian is simply farting when he mixes it up at this time!
Su Mou shook his head: "The second brother has raised the younger brother, even if I want to go, but if you look at the snowy day outside, I'm afraid I haven't caught the blind snake yet, and I will freeze to death first." ”
Su Xian smiled disdainfully, and from Su Mou's words, Su Xian judged that Su Mou didn't know his true purpose, and now he was just trying to sit on the ground and raise the price.
"Then third brother, what do you think of this? You know this snake gall wine, a pot of one spirit yuan, you help me catch blind snakes, and I will give you twice the market price for each blind snake, that is, two spirit yuan for a blind snake. Su Xian looked at Su Mou expectantly, but saw that Su Mou still shook his head, and stretched out his hands, crossed his index fingers, and made a ten-tone gesture.
"Ten spirit yuan, not a single point is missing!" Su Mou said firmly.
"Three!"
"Five!" Su Mou said.
"Four!"
Su Mou turned around and left.
Su Xian stood up, and when he saw that Su Mou was leaving, he couldn't sit still, he was ruthless, gritted his teeth and said, "Five spirit yuan, deal!"
Su Mou laughed, and didn't look back: "Please second brother wait for good news!"
