"Lu Tao, it's that Lu Tao again, this guy has ruined our good deeds again. In the dimly lit room, an old man slammed the table and said indignantly.

The old man sitting next to him held the porcelain cup, stared at the tea in the cup, and said calmly: "Qin Tao is indeed not simple, now he has found the big backer of the Purple Moon Empire." ”

"Senior brother, we can't let this kid go like this, otherwise it won't be good for us. The old man's voice was like thunder.

Gently putting down the porcelain cup, the old man calmly replied, "We should also think of a way......

......

Since being rewarded by the king, Qin Tao's mansion has become a place for various dignitaries and nobles in Yanjing, and these people with prominent positions are all vying to be the first to tie up the new star of the empire. But this gave Qin Tao a special headache.

Seeing off the three ministers with a smile, Qin Tao glanced at the approaching dim sky, and couldn't help but yawn tiredly. For him, socializing is much more difficult than cultivating.

Hurriedly summoned a servant to close the door, Qin Tao ordered not to see any more guests, and then walked to the backyard with his waist stretched.

The bright candle lamp emitted a soft halo, Qin Tao and Tang Xuexin sat at a square table eating dinner, and Dongdong squatted in the corner of the table and nibbled on the fragrant roast pork leg meat.

Gently sandwiching a piece of meat into Qin Tao's bowl, Tang Xuexin asked with a smile, "Are you tired of the past two days?"

While pulling the rice in the bowl, he nodded vigorously: "Well, I don't feel so tired in the Guma Mountains......"

"You are now a celebrity in front of the king, and these dignitaries are all thinking of scolding you. But anyone who has an official and a half-position in Yanjing will come, you, just socialize. Tang Xuexin squeezed the table with her arms and said with a smile.

Qin Tao rolled his eyes and said bitterly: "Alas...... Spare me, why don't you let me go to the depths of the Guma Mountains again......"

Tang Xuexin sneered, and then asked, "Then what are your plans in the future? When will you go to Beidaying?"

Putting down the chopsticks, Qin Tao replied, "The sooner the better." ”

"Well, okay, just let me know when you're leaving. ”

After nightfall, the people in the house all rested, and Tang Xuexin also took Dongdong to his room. Qin Tao came to the simplely furnished hut alone and began to cultivate.

He had completely mastered the first form of the Wind Rhythm Technique, "Treading the Wind Movement", and his own strength had also improved recently, so it was the most suitable time to practice the second form of the "Wind Spirit Dance".

"The wind dances, the wind is the spirit, and the movement is the dance. The essence of the second form clearly appeared in Qin Tao's mind, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.

The simple essentials contain profound meanings, what is the spirit of the wind, and what is the meaning of dancing when it moves? For a while, Qin Tao fell into confusion.

"It seems that this second form has nothing to do with stepping on the wind......" After thinking for a long time, Qin Tao muttered helplessly.

On the west floor of the moon, Qin Tao couldn't think of any way to interpret the second style, so he paced around the house when he was bored.

"If only Grandpa Bing were here, maybe he could interpret this wind law trick for me. Staring at the ice crystal ring on his finger, Qin Tao sighed.

The pace under his feet did not stop, and when Qin Tao walked into the moonlight that seeped into the house, he seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said to himself: "What is the special function of that rewarded cold iron called 'Blue Water Pure Source'?"

Immediately, curiously took out a black delicate box, Qin Tao didn't care about the beautiful carving on it, and hurriedly opened it.

As soon as the lid of the box opened, a light blue halo emerged, and the surroundings of Qin Tao immediately turned into a water blue. A refreshing cool breath crept into his nose, making Qin Tao feel refreshed.

"This cold iron is really a treasure, but, is this really iron?" Looking at the cold iron in his hand like a moist jewel, Qin Tao asked in disbelief.

The blue streamer flickered in the orb-like cold iron, more like a wisp of life was being conceived, Qin Tao curiously put the cold iron close to his eyes and looked straight in.

After observing for a long time and seeing nothing unusual, Qin Tao took the cold iron and said to himself: "It's better to refine it first and see what effect it will have." ”

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Qin Tao held the cold iron with his left hand, and a scorching flame ignited in his right hand, and the smelting began.

However, the moment the flames scorched the cold iron, a ray of light blue light lingered around Qin Tao's palm, and that refreshing feeling appeared in his arms and palms again.

At this moment, the wisp of ice in his abdomen suddenly moved, and he actually swam into his left arm on his own, and sucked the pale blue light into his forearm.

"Could it be that this light is water energy?" Qin Tao exclaimed.

Increasing the flame again, Qin Tao melted the cold iron for another point, the same as before, and the soul energy gossamer sucked in the light blue light and strengthened himself by one point.

Stopping the flame smelting, Qin Tao quietly looked at the cold iron in his hand, and said thoughtfully: "No wonder it is called such a strange name, it turns out that this thing contains water energy. ”

"If I infuse this water energy into the Ice Crystal Ring, will I be able to revive Grandpa Ice?" Qin Tao said suddenly.

The flame ignited again and began to scorch the cold iron, and the soul energy in his left arm tried its best to absorb the water energy generated by the smelting. At the same time, Qin Tao continued to control the growth of the water surname soul qi from his right hand into the ice crystal ring.

The soft pale blue light was absorbed, and wisps of water-based soul energy were sent into the Ice Crystal Ring, and the ring was not only able to contain it as much as it could. For a moment, Qin Tao's body seemed to have become a bridge, constructed between the cold iron and the ice crystal ring.

It lasted for nearly an hour, and the palm-sized cold iron had been significantly reduced, but Qin Tao had already gasped, and his forehead was even more sweaty.

Even if the body is used as a medium, it still needs to bear considerable wear and tear, especially when the two caste soul qi of ice and fire are used at the same time.

A pale blue halo wrapped around the periphery of the Ice Crystal Ring, and the aqua blue streamer flowed slowly through it like a new life. However, at this time, Qin Tao could no longer bear the pain caused by the transmission of soul qi, and finally gave up after surpassing the limits of his body.

Panting for air, Qin Tao, who was sweating profusely, couldn't help but show a trace of excitement at the corner of his mouth when he looked at the ice crystal ring surrounded by blue light, but in the blink of an eye, he fell asleep on the bed.

The aqua blue streamer flickered twice on the ring before disappearing into it, and then the pale blue ring returned to normal, except for a faint blue light in the runes on it.

However, just after Qin Tao fell asleep, several pitch-black figures suddenly appeared around the house......

"Say, where is your lordship, what are you attendants eating!" Tang Xuexin shouted at all the attendants in the mansion, and her anger was overflowing.

More than a dozen mansion attendants were silent, bowing their heads and silently bearing Tang Xuexin's angry shouts, and none of them dared to raise their heads to take a look.

The thing that made Tang Xuexin so furious was that Qin Tao was missing. Since there was no one at noon, Tang Xuexin felt that something was wrong, and then instructed the attendants to search the mansion and not find Qin Tao's figure, and a kind of uneasiness rose in the girl's heart.

Although Qin Tao is very popular in the Purple Moon Empire, Yanjing also has an undercurrent after all, and some of the annihilation of other countries still exists here, so it is definitely a great achievement to attack a person like Qin Tao.

The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt, Tang Xuexin's beautiful eyes were full of fierce intent, and she shouted loudly to the attendant: "What are you doing in a daze, don't you hurry up and look for it! If you can't find you, I'll use my head to make amends!"

The "witch" gave an order, and all the attendants hurriedly ran out of the house and began to look for Qin Tao everywhere.

At this time, Tama quietly appeared beside Tang Xuexin, and said respectfully to the angry eldest lady: "Young master." ”

Calming down her anger slightly, Tang Xuexin barely squeezed out a smile and said, "Uncle Tama." But there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Tama shook his head helplessly: "Young master, Lu Tao is likely to have been kidnapped......

"What!" Tang Xue stood up from her seat with a thud and looked at Tama beside her in shock, her beautiful eyes full of disbelief.

Tama nodded heavily and said, "I have checked in all possible places, but there is no news from Lu Tao." So I analyzed that Lu Tao was very likely to be kidnapped. ”

"Is it the Haoling Empire?" Tang Xuexin asked.

"It's hard to say. Lu Tao is both a smelter and a cultivator, it's not just the Haoling Empire that wants to get rid of him. ”

Hearing the word "get rid of", Tang Xuexin couldn't help but sit down in her seat, her eyes showed a hint of sloppiness, and she shook her head lightly and said, "No, no, he won't be fine......"

Gently patting Tang Xuexin's shoulder, Tama comforted: "We don't want anything to happen to him, young master, please rest assured, the sect master already knows about this, and the Ten Thousand Demon Sect will definitely go all out to search for and rescue Lu Tao." ”

Clenching her fists tightly, Tang Xuexin looked straight at the door with a fierce intent in her eyes, and said fiercely: "If I catch these people, I will definitely break them into pieces!"

......

In the dark, Qin Tao slowly opened his eyes. The darkness made him startled, but when he heard the sound of the rumbling carriages around him, and touched the cloth bag-like things around him, Qin Tao couldn't help but be sure that he had been kidnapped by someone.

"Where are they taking me? This sack-like thing seems to be broken by flames, and it seems that this group of people has premeditated. Qin Tao stayed in the bag and thought to himself.

The carriage stopped after speeding for a while, and Qin Tao heard the sound of gurgling water and the crisp birdsong in the forest not far away, but then he heard the sound of a fight again.

"Could it be that there is still a group of people who want to kidnap me?" Qin Tao was puzzled.
