The cold wind was solemn, biting like ice, and before you knew it, the eastern season of the northern country slowly swept such a noisy and lively Yanjing.

Xie Chen came to this seemingly very simple room, which was still simple in decoration and simple in layout.

"It seems that the shopkeeper is not there. Xie Chen looked at the inn that was nowhere to be seen, the man who had given him a sense of mystery did not appear here this time.

Luo Sifu nodded and agreed: "Maybe that adult happened to go out because of something." ”

Xie Chen raised his feet and walked towards the only guest room in the entire inn, he couldn't wait to know Bao's current cultivation in his heart.

"Crunch. ”

As the wooden door was gently pushed open by Xie Chen, what caught his eye was a simple young man who looked much stronger than before.

"Brother Xie Chen!" Ah Bao had already stopped his movements when he heard the movement outside the house, and only when he saw that it was Xie Chen and Luo Sifu who came was he exclaimed with some emotion.

"Haha, Ah Bao, I'll come back, has there been any progress in cultivation in the past ten days?" Xie Chen smiled slightly, walked in front of Ah Bao, and swept his gaze over the other party's body.

"Yes, yes, yes, there has been a great completion of the skin refining period in the past ten days, and it can be regarded as a god speed. Xie Chen said indifferently, of course, this is naturally related to the elixir he once gave to Bao.

"Brother Xie Chen... You just said you had something important to leave here, why did it take so long to come back?, but what else happened?" Bao said with a concerned expression.

"It's a bit of a problem, otherwise I might have come back four or five days early. Xie Chen recalled the scenes in Muguo at the beginning, and now he still feels a little chill in his heart.

Xie Chen paused for a moment and continued: "But fortunately, it's back, Ah Bao, we plan to return to your village tomorrow, and you can take these silver taels, and go back to give your mother an explanation." ”

Xie Chen said that he gave Ah Bao most of the silver taels that he didn't usually use in the exchange, at least nearly fifty taels of gold.

Ah Bao saw Xie Chen's sincere look and it was not easy to refuse, not to mention that his family really needed such a sum of money.

"Your Excellency... Are we leaving tomorrow?" At this time, Luo Sifu behind Xie Chen couldn't help but step forward and said.

"Yes, what, do you have other things that you can't do?" Xie Chen looked at the dwarf in front of him with a slightly red face in confusion.

"Your Excellency... Didn't you promise me to go to Liyuan Restaurant in the first place?" said Luo Sifu after a long time.

"What is the matter with me, it turns out that this is the case. Xie Chen smiled knowingly and nodded.

"Take it, these should be enough. Saying that, Xie Chen threw some of the remaining silver taels to Luo Sifu, he was a monk after all, and these gold and silver things were basically useless.

Luo Sifu also smiled and thanked Xie Chen when he took the gold, and he had already begun to plan which woman he would spend the night with in Liyuan Restaurant tonight.

......

In the depths of the northern kingdom, the Qingchen Sect is still the same as in the past without Xie Chen, ordinary disciples listen to the elders' preaching on time, and as for those who are much more talented than ordinary disciples, there are special teachers to carefully solve their doubts.

"Damn... In a month's time, Xiuwei is still in the Divine Formation Period!!" Jialan said dissatisfiedly, recalling that Ning Jiayun, who was now afraid that he had almost broken through to the distraction stage, felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, could it be that cultivation was so difficult? But Xie Chen, who had been with them at the beginning, had broken through to the consummation of God Creation in a few months, which was not known as many times faster than Ye Zixin, who is now famous in the northern country.

"Disciple, meditate. ”

Just when Jialan was indignant, Han Mu outside the door was looking at this lowest disciple he had accepted with a loving expression.

"Master..."Jialan's heart also suddenly moved when she saw the old man outside the door, this old man who usually cared for him well now looked a lot older.

"Lan'er, do you know, the most important thing in this cultivation journey is to pay attention, you and your senior brothers are better than the teacher, you will definitely be able to go further in the future, if you have the opportunity, you must go out of our northern country, the four regions are vast, one day you will find that what we know now is just a drop in the ocean.

"Master, you... 's aura seems to have weakened a lot. Jialan looked at the old man in front of her and couldn't bear to say.

"Hey, my Hanmu has been in the dust since more than a hundred years ago, and now he has lived for more than one hundred and fifty years, and he has stayed in the ninth order of the Heavenly Machine Realm for too long, I am afraid that there is no hope of breaking through to the realm of life and death. The old man couldn't help but say, though he didn't want to face such a reality either.

"No... Master Venerable must be able to, just like Mu Lao, didn't he also break through to the realm of life and death not long ago?" Jia Lan said suddenly, he remembered that not long ago, Mu Xinbai, the master of their Qingchen Sect who had been introduced to Xie Chen, had also broken through to the realm of life and death in his later years.

"Mu Xinbai, hehe, his talent is much better than that of a teacher, and in the past six years of going out to practice, I am afraid that he has also looked down on life and death, calmed his state of mind, and this is how he broke through to the realm of life and death very smoothly. Hanmu's voice was a little hoarse.

"But..."

"Forget it, everything depends on fate, this time I have something to hand over to you. Hanmu looked at Jialan in front of him and smiled lovingly, and as he spoke, he took out a cyan vial from the change.

"Pill?" Jia Lan was stunned when she saw this cyan vial, he had been in the Clearing Dust Sect for so long, how could he not know that the background of their Clearing Dust Sect was on the way to this pill.

"This is something that the master finally asked for from those great elders, and if you take him, I'm afraid you will soon be able to break through to the distraction period. ”

"Master, this..."

"I'm afraid there will be a lot of turmoil in the northern kingdom in the near future, and the only ones who can survive are often those who are strong, you are a disciple of the teacher, how can I watch you leave easily? And I'm afraid that not only me, but also Ning Jiayun and a few other dolls will definitely take such an elixir. Hanmu understood Jialan's surname, and he was afraid that he would not accept it, so he spoke.

"It's... Master, I know, I won't let Shizun down. Jialan nodded, although he didn't know what turmoil would happen in the northern country, but some time ago, Leng Ru broke through to the Heavenly Machine Realm and went to the Endless Mountains behind the Dust Valley, which also brought a lot of excitement to the people of their talent party.

"Xie Chen... If you're still alive, I'm afraid you'll be the first person to break through to the Heavenly Machine Realm in our current generation. Jialan smiled bitterly, then swallowed the elixir in the cyan vial into her stomach and began to continue her retreat.
