Chapter 1: Descending the Mountain
In the middle of the woods.
The moonlight is hazy.
A huge full moon hangs in the night sky, and the stars are eclipsed.
After hearing a long and tearing whistle, there was one more young man under the night.
With a slight grip of his palm, a demon beast Neidan turned into liquid powder in his hand, and after a few turns, it actually merged into the young man's body.
The next moment, the young man sighed lightly, and a look of disappointment immediately appeared on his face.
"Level 49, or level 49......"
On the fifteenth day of every month, the wolf demon on this wolf tooth peak will go berserk, and he will come out to kill the demon, and by the way, take the inner dan of each wolf demon.
These Nedan may not be of much use to others, but to him, they are treasures.
The boy's name is Lin Xiao, and it has been three years since he came to this world.
There is also a magical system that comes with it, as long as you kill the demon beast and obtain the demon beast inner pill, you can upgrade the system, and after the system is upgraded, your own strength cultivation will also be higher.
But since half a year ago, the system level has been stuck at level 49, and no matter how many wolf demons Lin Xiao kills, he can't break through the slightest.
His eyes looked to the end of the night, but his eyes were full of vain.
This world is completely different from the original world, and all the bizarre things are reasonable to exist here.
What demons and monsters, what martial arts masters, all kinds of novels, TV series, and bizarre settings in games have become reality.
Here, with absolute strength, anyone can kill all sides.
It would be extremely interesting if these existed in the fantasy of Xuanqi, but really in such a different world, Lin Xiao only had one thought left in his mind - to live well.
A demon beast of the level of the wolf demon can be subdued even by three or five martial artists who have just entered the martial arts, and even the rating given by the system to the wolf demon is only level 5.
It's not that he doesn't want to look for higher-level demon beasts, it's just that he has been living with the old man in an old mansion in the heart of Wolf Tooth Peak all along.
The strange thing is that the center of the Wolf Tooth Peak has never seen any demon beasts infested, even the wolf demon is not close, if he wants to improve his cultivation, Lin Xiao can only wait until the full moon night to look for the wolf demon in the surrounding area.
But on the night of the full moon, the wolf demon will go crazy and lose his mind, and in such a situation, he will deliberately avoid the house and still move around the surrounding area?
Lin Xiao hasn't figured out this problem for three years, if you really want to say it, maybe she was scared by her own strength.
"Maybe it's because the wolf demon level is too low, it seems that we have to find some high-level demon beasts."
Lin Xiao thought about it in his heart, but after thinking about it, he dispelled the idea again.
Because the strange old man in the house not only stayed in the house all day long, but also forbade himself to go down the mountain.
In the past three years, Lin Xiao didn't know how many times he had tried to sneak down the mountain, but every time he would see the old man waiting at the foot of the mountain for a long time.
What? Break in?
Laugh to death!
The old man didn't know what elixir he had eaten, he was obviously a lot older, but he could still beat him to the point of being three times and five by two.
Forget it, more is better than less.
It's halfway through the night.
Lin Xiao put away his sword, turned around and walked back.
……
The mountain breeze was gentle, and the sleeves were cold, drumming the simple and shabby robe on Lin Xiao's body.
Walking briskly all the way, an old house that is also simple and dilapidated comes into view.
Lin Xiao pushed the door and walked in, although the house was old, it was also extraordinarily spacious in this worldly place.
I just wanted to go back to my room to rest, but I saw the lights in the ear room flickering and the door was empty.
In the middle of the night, what is the old man doing?
Lin Xiao was puzzled in his heart, and walked over lightly, but saw an old figure kneeling on a futon.
"Come in."
The old man's face was vicissitudes, his voice was hoarse, and he looked like he was about to die, but he easily sensed Lin Xiao's approach.
"Old man, what are you doing in the middle of the night?"
There is a stone statue in the ear room, according to the old man, the world is worshipped, all of them are Taoist ancestors.
The Dao Ancestor here is not Taishang Laojun, one of the three Qing Zun Gods, but the martial arts ancestor of this world.
I heard that thousands of years ago, the martial arts patriarch opened up the martial arts, which gave people the ability to compete with demon beasts, so everyone worshiped him in order to make their martial arts smooth, and some people prayed for their ancestors to glorify their ancestors, be promoted to become wealthy, etc., in short, people told all their hearts to this Taoist ancestor.
Lin Xiao didn't know what kind of person Dao Ancestor was.
A man with a modern soul, advanced in thought, even in such a bizarre world, he still believes that things are man-made.
In his eyes, kneeling down to pray for the blessings of these deceased people is nothing more than telling his wishes to the dead.
The old man had words in his mouth, and he couldn't hear what was being said.
After a few breaths, he slowly turned around, holding a wooden box in his hand, and there was an incomprehensible mystery in his cloudy and dim eyes.
"When you come back tonight, your strength has not yet grown."
Hearing this, Lin Xiao's face was black.
If it weren't for you not letting me go down the mountain and dealing with these wolf demons forever, would I not have grown?!
Of course, he didn't dare to do that.
"I know, you complain that I won't let you go down the mountain." The old man saw through Lin Xiao's thoughts at a glance.
Then, he handed over the wooden box in his hand and continued: "Now there is a chance to go down the mountain, do you want it?" ”
Lin Xiao was stunned and took the wooden box in disbelief.
"Down the mountain?"
"What's in this box?"
As he spoke, he tried to open the lid, but found that no matter how hard he tried, the lid did not move.
"There's a forbidden circle I set up on it, and you can't open it."
"As long as you promise me one thing, not only can you go down the mountain, but I won't care how long you stay outside."
The old man said unhurriedly.
"Really?"
Lin Xiao was skeptical, this happiness came too suddenly.
As a traverser, I have been trapped in this mountain and wilderness since I crossed over, and I still don't know what kind of world this is.
He really didn't want to stay here anymore.
The old man ignored Lin Xiao's rhetorical question, continued to bend down on his own, and flipped the entire stone slab with a hook of two fingers.
Immediately after, I saw a flash of golden light, and a dark gold long sword came into view.
"You carry this sword on your back, take the wooden box to Hindu City, and after you find a restaurant called Jinyulou, you can sit down and rest."
"Within three glasses of wine, someone will come to you, remember, be sure to give it to the man yourself."
After Lin Xiao heard this, he was even more incredible.
"It's just, it's that simple?"
"Remember, there's no room for error, what's in the box matters."
The old man's face was unusually serious.
"Don't worry, it's a trivial matter."
Lin Xiao patted his chest and reassured, excitedly took the long sword and was about to go back to the room.
"Wait." The old man's face was a little gloomy.
"What's the matter? You're weird tonight, old man. Lin Xiao was puzzled.
"Unless you have to, don't draw your sword out of its sheath lightly."
……
Early in the morning of the second day.
Lin Xiao couldn't hold back his excitement and got up early.
After saying goodbye to the old man, he immediately left the Wolf's Tooth Peak and rushed in the direction of Xingdu City without a moment's delay.
He didn't dare to disobey what the old man said.
On top of a towering tree.
The old man looked at the back of the flying away, and his face was cloudy.
"The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it."
Then he sighed.
"The strength that is close to the sub-holy realm should be enough."
