Xiao Ming has been living on the seventh floor for the past few days—or rather, he is ostensibly living on the seventh floor. Because he went to the mountain hut to cultivate early in the morning, the hut built entirely of Dragon Star Soul Wood was simply the strongest treasure for Xiao Ming, who cultivated the Soul Sutra.

In the mountain hut, except for the old lady, only the eldest lady of the Xiao family can go up. Although the dream tapir received the help of the old lady at the beginning, it was only cultivating outside the hut. But they could not enter the hut.

But Xiao Ming, like Xiao Yaqing, can cultivate in the center of the hut and the place with the best auxiliary effect.

In addition, when they first met, the so-called gift of the old lady was now handed over to Xiao Ming, which was an ornament carved from the core of a top-level Dragon Star Soul Wood. It is said that this dragon star tree is more than 1,000 years old and seven or eight meters thick. It is a treasure in the mountains, and the Xiao family is reluctant to destroy it at all.

But the tree was unlucky, and a few years ago it was struck by lightning and directly split half of its body. However, the interesting thing is that after being struck by lightning, this Dragon Star Tree did not do more damage except for the loss of half of its body, and the remaining half was still very lush. And the auxiliary effect is stronger.

The Xiao family found a core on the broken half of the tree. I don't know if it's because the tree is too old, or because it was struck by lightning, the core of the tree has become jade-like. In the end, this core was carved into two jade pendants by the master of the Xiao family.

One piece was placed on the body of the eldest lady of the Xiao family, and the other piece was given to Xiao Ming by the old lady.

Xiao Ming didn't know the meaning of this jade pendant, and when he saw that the old lady gave it to him, he was not polite. I used it as a matter of course.

Of course. The main reason for this was that Xiao Ming found that this core jade pendant already had the ability to absorb the soul energy of heaven and earth - and this ability was not low.

The Xiao family only knew that this jade was worn on the body, and it had a strong spiritual power cultivation auxiliary effect. The effect is not much worse than that of a mountain hut. However, the two clash with each other and cannot be used at the same time.

But Xiao Ming knew that the reason why this core jade pendant had such a strong effect was that it could already absorb the soul of heaven and earth.

As far as the theory in the Soul Sutra is concerned, the soul of heaven and earth is the most primitive and pure energy in the world, but it is not easy to actively absorb this energy. The soul of heaven and earth will merge into a part of it when everything in the world takes shape. It is then converted into soul energy suitable for what is formed.

The soul of things, the soul of spirits, the soul of people. In fact, it is the product of transformation after absorbing the soul energy of heaven and earth.

And the ultimate purpose of the Soul Sutra is to actively absorb the soul of heaven and earth, so as to reach the highest realm.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the soul of heaven and earth to be actively absorbed by things that have been formed after the solid skin has been formed, and at most, it is only in places where the concentration of the soul of heaven and earth is high, forming a very slow erosion phenomenon.

The original function of the Dragon Star Soul Wood was only to absorb the soul of things, and then transform it into energy similar to the soul of a human that humans could absorb. Thus it has the role of assisting the cultivation of spiritual power. But this piece of tree core jade pendant has the ability to actively absorb the soul of heaven and earth. but does not translate into any of the inherent forms of soul energy.

For ordinary people, although the effect of this ability is strong, it is not as good as the mountain hut, but for Xiao Ming, it is an extremely precious thing.

Although he hadn't figured out the specific reason yet, this soul of heaven and earth that had been absorbed by the core of the tree could be devoured by him with the Soul Devouring Technique. And this kind of devouring soul energy can actually support the cultivation of soul tricks and the use of soul techniques in any realm at the same time.

Far from it. Let's just say that the souls of Xiao Yaqing and Xiao Qingya are separated, and Xiao Ming originally prepared a large number of human souls. This was the least of the soul energy he had collected—although he was not afraid of killing, he did not love to kill. In addition, his cultivation realm happened to be in the human soul realm, and he needed a large number of human souls to cultivate. Therefore, the reserve of human souls has never been enough.

But now with this tree core jade pendant, the soul energy that was devoured can be directly used for the use of soul replenishment techniques, and the effect is even better than that of a simple human soul.

& It's a great help to Xiao Yaqing and their separation!" Xiao Ming said this, almost not letting the old lady move to completely split the poor old dragon star tree, and make a large jade pendant. But then it was denied by Xiao Ming.

This kind of thing doesn't have much to do with size. Xiao Ming went to see the poor old tree, it itself did not have the ability to absorb the soul of heaven and earth, so the ability of this core jade pendant was mostly related to lightning strikes.

Then the old lady wanted to give Xiao Yaqing's jade pendant to Xiao Ming for temporary use, but Xiao Ming refused. The benefits of keeping one piece of this jade pendant by Xiao Yaqing's side are far greater than the benefits of both pieces to Xiao Ming.

With this core jade pendant, Xiao Ming had a greater grasp of that plan. He also asked Xiao Yaqing to wear the core jade pendant at any time during this period of time, so that their souls could be purified by the soul of heaven and earth in the core jade pendant.

In the past few days, Xiao Mingming has gone to the mountain hut tomorrow, and others can't use the auxiliary effects of the core jade pendant and the mountain hut at the same time, but he can. He felt like a person who couldn't eat enough and suddenly fell into the grain depot, a high-grade commodity like the soul of heaven and earth, swallowed up casually. The records in the big plate are going up.

As a result, the three-day cultivation in the mountain hut caught up with the one-month cultivation in other places. The speed was so fast that Xiao Ming was a little worried about whether there would be any problems, so after three days of cultivation, he was ready to take a rest.

This day also happened to be the day when Gu Qiusha and Ilti came.

So Xiao Ming didn't go anywhere, just waiting for the two girls in his seventh-story residence.

In fact, only the old lady, the old housekeeper, Xiao Yaqing, and Xiao Mingzhu knew about Xiao Ming's going to the mountain hut to cultivate, and no one else knew about it.

& Ming, Xiao Ming, I'll tell you. I have thought of a new trick, you come and try it with me!" As soon as Ilti saw Xiao Ming, he immediately cheered, wanting Xiao Ming to accompany him to try the trick.

If you want to talk about Gu Wu talent, Yierti is stronger than Xiao Ming. It's a pity that she is destined to not be able to cultivate the orthodox ancient martial arts, and can only practice the hammer method, but Xiao Ming's random choice at the beginning inadvertently chose the most suitable path for Ilti, and now I am afraid that Xiao Ming's own comprehension of the hammer method is not as good as Ilti.

"Gu Qiusha is not as open as Ilti, and every time he sees Xiao Ming, he is respectful.

For Xiao Ming, she has an almost blind admiration and respect.

"Thank you!" Xiao Ming got up first and thanked Xiao Zongzheng. If it weren't for this person to pick it up in person, I'm afraid that the two girls would have to go through a lot of troublesome procedures if they wanted to come to Guilong Castle.

&To put it mildly, I've always wanted to talk to you. You didn't have time the other day, how about now?" Xiao Zongzheng said with a smile.

Xiao Ming's eyes narrowed slightly: "I'm not good at fighting!"

& means......" A cold light burst out in Xiao Zongzheng's eyes.

Are you talking about something good?" a casual voice rang out.

Xiao Ming didn't need to look back, he could know from his feelings that it was Xiao Qingya, the eldest lady of the Xiao family who was charming on the surface, ruthless in her actions, but soft on her own people.

Several people turned back together.

Xiao Qingya still looks lazy, dressed in white - in the eyes of modern people, this dress is too complicated. But no matter what era you look at, this dress is beautiful and eye-catching.

"You're so pretty!" exclaimed Ilti in amazement.

Strictly speaking, Yingluo's facial features are more perfect than Xiao Qingya's, but Yingluo's temperament is too weak, and people's first reaction when they see her is often not "so beautiful", but "so cute" and "I really want to protect her". But Xiao Qingya, as the eldest lady of the Xiao family, has a noble temperament and outstanding demeanor. The first thing anyone will think when they see her is beauty.

"Thanks, you're beautiful too!" Xiao Qingya smiled and nodded at Ilti, sat straight on the chair next to her, and looked at Xiao Zongzheng: "What funny thing were you talking about just now?"

&There's a very interesting mission recently, and I want to invite Xiao Ming to join us!"Xiao Zongzheng said without a trace.

Xiao Ming didn't say anything, just was silent.

Xiao Qingya seemed to believe it, looked at Xiao Ming and said, "Have you agreed?"

>I don't know what the task is!" Xiao Ming said lightly.

Xiao Qingya tilted her head and thought for a moment, then turned her gaze to Xiao Zongzheng with a smile: "Is it the mission of the golden relic at the end of the Xiaoyue River?" I remember the news that the adventurer sold us five days ago!"

Xiao Zongzheng nodded: "Yes." A brand new golden relic. There is no trace of any exploration. However, some intelligence pointed out that the Situ family also got the news. Those adventurers weren't very honest!For the sake of safety, we decided to send some masters this time!"

In the Star of the Ancient Domain, only the Situ family is qualified to argue with the Xiao family.

But the two are fighting in private, and they are completely consistent with each other. Whoever wants to break up the external alliance of the two will only be met with the fiercest counterattack.

&Golden Ruins?" Xiao Qingya blinked, looked playful, lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her head and said, "I'll go too!"

Xiao Zongzheng knew that it was not good when he saw Xiao Qingya's expression just now, and when he heard it at this time, his head was big.

>> Qing, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to go out!" Xiao Zongzheng said in embarrassment. (The name of Qingya is now only known to Xiao Ming, the old lady, the old housekeeper, and Xiao Mingzhu).

"Ming, are you going?Golden Ruins?There must be something fun!" Xiao Qingya didn't pay attention to Xiao Zongzheng at all, but said to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming had already decided to go when he heard about the golden relics. It's not just about curiosity, it's about jelly. The golden relics, which mean a lot to the jelly.

>> " Xiao Ming nodded directly.

& That's it!" Xiao Qingya didn't give Xiao Zongzheng a chance to speak: "I, you, Zongzheng, and the two of you." Let's let Mingzhu come along. That's all there is to it!"

After speaking, she looked at Xiao Zongzheng.

What else could Xiao Zongzheng say? He knew that once something was decided by the eldest lady of the Xiao family, it had never changed. All he had to do was either cancel the entire exploration mission of the Golden Ruins directly, or he would agree.

Xiao Zongzheng nodded helplessly, feeling that he had pitted himself. (To be continued......)
