Chapter Twenty-Three: The Black Mist Mountains

After two days of trekking through mountains and rivers, Lin Xiao and Mu Dao finally came to a big city on the outskirts of the Black Mist Mountain Range.

The Black Mist Mountains are a stretch of towering mountains. Most of the trees and vegetation in the mountains are ink-colored, and the mountains have a gray-black mist for a long time, so they are called the Black Mist Mountains.

In the Black Mist Mountains, the aura of heaven and earth is much more abundant than that of the outside world, and the aura of heaven and earth is a power that can cleanse the evolution of creatures, and it is easy to give birth to precious spiritual objects, which is extremely attractive to demon beasts and warriors.

Thousands of years ago, there was a group of legendary warriors who fought with the peerless demon beasts in the depths of the mountain range, and they lost both sides in that battle, and few of them came back alive. However, it also left many rumors about the treasure in the Black Mist Mountains.

Therefore, there are many warriors who enter and leave the Black Mist Mountain Range all year round, some to hunt demon beasts, and some to use spiritual herbs and elixirs. Some even come for the legendary treasure relics.

Under the Black Mist Mountains, this city called Black Mist City is extremely special. Almost all of the people shuttling in this city are warriors, and the construction of the city is originally for adventurers in the Black Mist Mountains. It is said to be a city, but it is even more prosperous than a county town.

Sitting in a restaurant eating, glancing at the surrounding martial artists, Lin Xiao asked in a low voice: "Uncle Mu, I heard my father say that this Black Mist City is only an outer city, and there is an even more powerful inner city in the Black Mist Mountain Range, in which there are many innate masters. ”

Mu Dao nodded and replied, "The Black Mist Inner City is extremely famous in the Western Great Domain, and it belongs to a mysterious force. Rumors are established by beings beyond the Innate. The purpose is to exterminate the demon beasts, and at the same time find the secrets of the depths of the Black Mist Mountains and the remnants of the ancient war. ”

Then he glanced at the warriors around him, and then said: "Even in this outer city, it is said that there are innate warriors in charge, and the warriors of many surrounding countries will rest and trade here. ”

At this moment, three warriors sat down at an empty table next to him.

After the three of them ordered the wine and water on the stage, one of them said while drinking: "It is said that a few days ago, Xu Wenguang, who was ranked one hundred and seventy in the martial arts list of the Western Xia Kingdom, got a wind-grabbing flower in the Black Mist Mountain Range. As a result, he was intercepted by Li Yushu, who was one hundred and eighty-three on the Donglai National Martial Arts List. ”

Another middle-aged man with a beard on his face answered: "This matter is in a uproar, Xu Wenguang is a complete eightfold peak master, and Li Yushu can be regarded as overwhelmed." was cut off his left arm, and at least one human-level elixir was needed to renew it. ”

The person who spoke first took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "It's no wonder that Li Yushu was carried away by the treasure, that Wind Snatching Flower is worth 200,000 martial arts, and it is the main medicine of the human-level peak elixir." “

Speaking of this, he sighed: "A martial artist who has reached perfection is indeed powerful. Even a mysterious force like Tenglong Pavilion will issue an invitation to absorb it. “

The bearded man said with a smile: "Then you have to be young enough, Tenglong Pavilion is a force of the Martial Alliance." However, it is said that Tenglong seems to be weaker than the other two mysterious forces of the Martial Alliance. “

The other person sneered: "Even people like you are qualified to judge the Tenglong Pavilion." The Tenglong Pavilion has stood in various regions of the mainland for thousands of years, and it has mastered the lifeblood of the mainland, except for the hegemonic forces of the same Martial Alliance, who doesn't sell the face of the Tenglong Pavilion?"

At this point, the three of them no longer spoke loudly, but discussed something in a low voice while eating. Although the warrior's ears are very sharp, as long as he speaks with internal force, he can compress his voice into a small range and cannot be heard by others.

Lin Xiao lowered his voice with internal force beside him and asked, "Uncle Mu, isn't Tenglong Pavilion only engaged in news trading, how can you listen to the meaning of these people, like a very powerful martial arts force?"

With the same internal force suppressing his voice, Mu Dao replied: "That's just a basic business, and it is said that Tenglong Pavilion is an extremely strong mysterious force. They recruit and train geniuses to contribute to the mainland, and as long as there are martial artists who meet the requirements, they will issue an invitation to be evaluated. “

Mu Dao sighed a little: "A martial artist who can enter the eyes of the Tenglong Pavilion has at least the potential to enter the top 100 of the martial arts list, and he must be young enough." Xiao'er, you have very good qualifications, and you have reached a consummation again. Cultivating hard, there is a chance to be favored by the Tenglong Pavilion. “

Lin Xiao asked a little strangely, "How does Tenglong Pavilion know my cultivation qualifications?"

Mu Dao said with some hope: "Tenglong Pavilion will have its own way. As long as they meet their basic requirements, they will appear. If Xiao'er is favored by Tenglong Pavilion, then your father will definitely be able to rescue you. Even your mother ......"

When it came to Lin Xiao's mother, Mu Dao didn't say much. Then the two finished their meal and checked out and left.

After simply purchasing some daily necessities in the city, the two chose a little-traveled route and quietly infiltrated the Black Mist Mountains.

Two hours later, they came to an inconspicuous small valley, and this hidden valley was the reclusive residence of Lin Xiao and Mu Dao in the future.

After settling down, Mu Dao called Lin Xiao to a waterfall in the valley and said, "Cultivating in flowing water will greatly increase the difficulty. This waterfall can help you practice your sword skills. At the same time, it can also accelerate the consumption of your internal energy. “

Lin Xiao had just stepped into the age of thirteen, without a coming-of-age ceremony, lost his father, and was driven by the Wang family to flee to the valley of the Black Mist Mountains, which was a low point he had never had in his life.

From this day on, Lin Xiao began to cultivate frantically. In the morning, he practiced swordsmanship and internal strength in the waterhole of the valley, and in the afternoon, he went out of the valley to hunt monsters.

At night, the meridian stagnation is opened. Sleep very little every day. Relying on martial arts and cultivating internal strength is rest.

Soon half a year passed, Lin Xiao not only opened up thirty meridians, but also reached the second-grade medium qualification. He even broke through his cultivation to the fourfold perfection realm, which was his third consummation. However, his crazy cultivation and opening up the meridians made him consume 10,000 martial arts.

The consumption of martial arts is completely based on the cultivation of martial artists, if you practice at a high intensity every day and have been taking martial arts, then the consumption of martial arts is at least several times more than that of normal martial artists.

But at the same time, the cultivation speed is naturally much faster than that of ordinary martial artists, which is why martial arts are so precious.

And Lin Xiao not only cultivated madly, but at the same time, he also needed to consume a lot of martial arts to open up the meridians. Therefore, in half a year, he consumed 10,000 martial arts.

However, in order to be able to improve his strength, he couldn't take care of so much, and his father Lin Yuanwu was still imprisoned and suffering at the Lin family in Chichuan Province.

In the past six months, Mu Dao only heard through Tenglong Pavilion that his father was imprisoned in a penal prison of the Lin family and suffered, but was not killed. Nothing else was known, and the anxious Lin Xiao had no other way but to work hard to cultivate.

As time passed, Lin Xiao's strength rose, and Wu Dan was also rapidly consumed.

In the Tenglong Pavilion of Chongfeng County

Deacon Zhang was looking at a copy of the information about Lin Xiao's recent situation in his hand, put down the information after a while, and said softly: "I actually settled in the Black Mist Mountain Range." However, it is only suspected that the peak qualification of the third product is not worth wasting on me to waste a referral qualification. “

He stood up, walked back and forth, and said in a low voice: "Compared with the other targets who are observing, this Lin Xiao has average qualifications, and now he has run out of Chongfeng County, forget ......it" "Lin Xiao will let it go, or focus on the other candidates, so as not to be taken away by the Xiaoao Palace and the Black Mist Palace." “
