Xie Qingyang invited guests, naturally in the main courtyard of the South Courtyard. To Xie Chen's surprise, the courtyard of the so-called Lord of the Southern Courtyard seemed to be no different from the mansion he lived in.

At most, it is only a little larger, and the location is in the center of the entire South Courtyard. The paint on the walls is mottled and mossy, and even the courtyard gate and the door are quite old, as if they have not been repaired for a long time.

The furnishings in the living room were quite comfortable, far less gorgeous than the place where the Great Elder worked. The table of wine and food is very exquisite, and a large plate full of braised pork was specially made according to Xie Tuo's requirements, which was fragrant and mouth-watering.

"Hehe, two clan brothers, when you get to my brother, you don't have to be restrained, just sit down. Xie Qingyang smiled kindly and took the lead in taking a seat. There are only three pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table, and it is clear that this is a family feast.

Xie Qingyang is a very talkative person, and he quickly enlivens the atmosphere. The little fat man Xie Tuo first buried his head in hard eating, and after eating, he rubbed his round little belly, picked his teeth, and joined the conversation with a satisfied face.

Seeing all this, Xie Chen saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but have a higher evaluation of Xie Qingyang. The food and wine are not luxurious, but they are heartwarming. The words are plain, but the words are full of heart. If it were someone else, I am afraid that he would soon be attracted by Xie Qingyang's personality charm, and even willing to go to the soup for him.

But Xie Chen knew that Xie Qingyang was the master of the Southern Courtyard! The direct descendants of this generation of the clan, the elder was already in his twenties, and his cultivation was several grades higher than Xie Qingyang.

And Xie Qingyang was able to stand out among many clan brothers and clan brothers at the age of fifteen. If you want to convince these children of a family whose eyes are above the top, if you say that you have no skills and do not play conspiracy, it is absolutely impossible!

From beginning to end, Xie Qingyang didn't say a word to win over the two, and he didn't even mention the family dispute, which is exactly what he is clever about. Xie Qingyang knew better than anyone that since Xie Chen and the others had entered the clan, they would not be able to escape from this dispute.

Since you can't escape, you must stand in line. Xie Qingyang never takes the initiative to win over people, in his opinion, whether it is to lure people with profit or to move with emotion, anyone who is won over by means can only be regarded as inferior. Only those who are truly convinced by themselves are the real backbone of themselves.

"Brother Qingyang, it's not too early, Xie Tuo and I have just come to the clan, we are a little tired all the way, and I ask for forgiveness. After three rounds of drinking, Xie Chen found an opportunity to say goodbye.

"Oh?" Xie lowered his eyelids and seemed to glance at the wine glass on the table, and a subtle flash flashed in his eyes. If you are an ordinary person who can be invited by yourself and treated like this, even if you are not flattered, you will definitely not leave so quickly. Could it be that these two really don't understand the current situation of the clan?

Thinking of this, Xie Qingyang remained silent, smiled slightly, and said, "Hehe, this is due to the negligence of the elder brother, and the two clan brothers are not strange." Since this is the case, I will no longer keep it, and in the future, in the clan, the clan brother can come to me directly to discuss anything. Although he is not a talented brother, he still has some face in the clan. ”

"Hehe, how can there be any big deal if I wait for the two to enter? Even if there is, I don't dare to bother my brother. Xie Chen got up, and then as if he suddenly remembered something, he took out a jade plate from his arms and said: "Brother clan, this is your identity jade plate, thanks to this jade plate, our brother can be naturalized so smoothly." Now that the matter is done, it is time to return to Zhao. ”

"It's okay, why bother to say thank you between brothers? Xie Qingyang didn't shirk it, took the jade plaque, and smiled.

After Xie Chen and the others left, Xie Qingyang slowly put away the smile on his face, played with the jade card in his hand, and whispered to himself, "This kid named Xie Chen has a lot of ambitions......"

The moon is bright and the stars are thin, and the snow on the road has long been cleared, but there are two rows of waist-high snow walls on both sides of the road. Walking on the road, Xie Chen didn't say a word, but the little fat man Xie Tuo blinked his eyes and stopped talking.

"What do you want to say?"

"Brother Chen, I don't understand. You first offered to say goodbye, and then took the initiative to return the jade plaque. Won't you offend Brother Qingyang by doing this?"

Xie Chen smiled, he didn't expect Xie Tuo to sometimes be thick and fine, and he could see something.

"If this can offend him, then he is not Xie Qingyang. Xie Chen said lightly, "Xie Tuo, if it were you, what would you choose to do just now?"

"Me?" the little fat man furrowed his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and then shook his head, "I don't know, anyway, Brother Chen, what are you doing, I'll just follow." ”

"Hehe......" Xie Chen couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. Now although the two have entered the clan, they are under the fence no matter what, and now the only thing the two can trust is each other.

The footsteps did not stop, and the two had already arrived at their residence.

Before they went back to their rooms, Xie Chen suddenly stopped and said solemnly to Xie Tuo: "Xie Tuo, the only thing I ask you is to practice! Keep making yourself stronger! As for other people and other things, as long as you don't promise, don't be gullible, and know that I will definitely be on your side, it's fine!"

"Brother Chen, don't worry, I understand!" Xie Tuo saw Xie Chen's solemn expression, and couldn't help but nod subconsciously.

Back in the room, Xie Chen had already lost half of his sleep. If he rejected the olive branch thrown by Xie Qingyang today, it would be equivalent to isolating himself in the Southern Courtyard, and even the entire family. There is no way back, so we can only move forward.

"Sword Nine, the ritual of the clan's awakening of the natal spirit was held five days later. In these five days, can you help me reach the innate full spiritual power?"

"Is it full of innate spiritual power?" Jian Jiu thought for a moment, and seemed to be a little puzzled, "It shouldn't be, it is said that with the assistance of the exercises, even Xie Tuo can reach the innate full spiritual power, but why do you stay at the ninth level of innate ability?"

"Isn't this abnormal?" Xie Chen frowned.

Just the day before he arrived at the clan, the little fat man Xie Tuo had already reached the innate spiritual power on the way. However, the spiritual power in his body seemed to be stuck in a bottleneck, and no matter how he cultivated, he couldn't produce that feeling of overflowing spiritual power. And the feeling that the spiritual power is almost breaking out of the body is a manifestation of the innate spiritual power.

"Of course it's not normal!" Jian Jiu said with certainty: "As long as you have a natal spirit in your body, and the natal spirit is complete, then you will definitely be able to achieve innate full spiritual power with the assistance of cultivation......!"

Jian Jiu's voice suddenly froze, and he asked in disbelief, "Boy, have you felt anything abnormal in your cultivation recently?!"

"Abnormal?!" Xie Chen thought about it carefully, and suddenly his heart moved, and said, "I have always cultivated according to the complete exercises of the Seven Injuries Fist you gave me, and every time I am in the process of cultivation, I will have a feeling of spiritual power. But after the work, that feeling disappeared! If you talk about it, it should be considered an anomaly. ”

"When you practice, you are full, and when you finish it, it disappears...... Could it be that this could be the case?!"

"That kind of situation?!" Xie Chen raised his eyebrows.

Jian Jiu didn't answer Xie Chen's question immediately, but suddenly said, "Boy, you summon the Dragon Slaying Knife, I'll take a look." ”

"Okay!" Xie Chen didn't dare to slack off, and immediately his mind moved, and the spiritual power of his whole body followed. Suddenly, a golden glow lit up in the dark room!

Under Xie Chen's control, the golden light gradually softened. The dark golden dragon slaying knife phantom floated quietly half a meter in front of Xie Chen's body, domineering and exposed.

"Come closer!" Jian Jiu's voice was a little solemn.

After Xie Chen pulled the knife shadow closer to the distance of the punch in front of him, the room suddenly fell silent. Xie Chen's gaze continued to scan the phantom of the Dragon Slayer Knife close at hand, as if he could feel the bursts of murderous aura coming from the knife's body.

"The golden dragon has broken its claws, and its murderous aura is revealed...... Sure enough, that's true!" Jian Jiu suddenly sighed.

"What's going on?" Xie Chen knew that Jian Jiu must have discovered something, and couldn't help but ask.

"Boy, take a closer look at the coiling dragon on this knife. ”

"Coiling Dragon?" Xie Chen's eyes rolled, and his gaze skimmed over the giant dragon on the blade of the knife inch by inch.

"It seems that something is missing...... Xie Chen muttered, and suddenly his heart moved!"How can this dragon have three dragon claws?!"

"It's not just dragon claws! Look closely! Pay attention to the dragon horns, dragon tail, and scales on the dragon's body!" Jian Jiu's voice sounded again.

"Dragon Horn ......" Following Jian Jiu's guidance, Xie Chen's gaze moved again, and he couldn't help but change his face at a glance!

"What, how could this be?!"

"That's true! The dragon's left horn is missing, and the five scales on its body are broken, especially the reverse scales under its neck, which are gone! Today's Golden Dragon, the damage on his body has reached as many as seven!

Jian Jiu's words did not stop, but continued: "If you look at the blade again, there is a gap in the blade in front of you, which makes the entire blade completely lost, and you can't control the killing qi at all. The same is true on the back of the knife, although it is only damaged to the smallest fraction, it has lost its true carrying capacity! This must also be the reason why your spiritual power has not been able to be full. ”

Finally, Jian Jiu let out a long sigh, "Originally, the old man didn't take a closer look. Now I know that this dragon slaying knife is now a broken knife!"

"Broken Knife?!"

"That's right! Broken Sword!" Jian Jiu affirmed again, then groaned for a moment, and asked, "Since the Dragon Slayer Knife was forged, the old man has only woken up once, and then fell into a deep sleep. Did anything happen during this time?"

"What happened?" Xie Chen tried his best to recall, and said with some uncertainty: "I only got the Dragon Slayer Knife for a few hours, but I remember that it was rumored in the rivers and lakes at that time that the Dragon Slaying Knife had been broken!"

"What?!broken?!" Jian Jiu was startled.

"That's good!" Xie Chen nodded, "It is said that the one who broke the dragon slaying knife was the Yitian Sword of the same name! The swords struck each other and broke at the same time! And the dragon slaying knife I got at that time was recast." ”

"Yitian Sword, no wonder it will be like this......" Jian Jiu suddenly said, "Yitian Sword and Dragon Slayer Sword come out of the same source, and when the swords hit each other, they must be damaged by each other, since the dragon soul on the Dragon Slayer Sword is broken, it must be ...... on the Heavenly Slayer."

Speaking of this, Jian Jiu sighed lightly, "Boy, hurry up and awaken the Natal Spirit." Only when you awaken the natal spirit, the old man can help you replenish the dragon soul and repair the blade. ”

"Replenish the dragon soul and repair the blade?!" Xie Chen's eyes lit up.

"That's right, do you think the old man's sword spirit is made for nothing? With the old man's divine soul sense, he can help you find the spirit object and repair the dragon slaying knife!"

Jian Jiu's voice was proud, but he sighed in his heart, but in this way, the road of your kid to the master of the sword will be bumpy......
