Chapter 168: Murderous Consumption (I)

Xingyun Sect, Dancing Elephant Courtyard.

Zhao Lin sat under the eaves, holding the letter sent by the servant early in the morning.

This letter is from Yingzhou and is the handwriting of Master Zhu Huaishan.

Zhu Huaishan said in the letter that he was in good health, so Zhao Lin didn't have to worry about it, and he didn't have to spend money to buy medicinal materials.

Knowing that Zhao Lin had cultivated to the second level of qi and won the first place in the autumn harvest, Zhu Huaishan was very satisfied and praised him greatly.

Lala said some trivial things, and finally mentioned that he was passing on the affairs in the Liuhe Gate and related exercises to Senior Brother Gao Yuan, and if he was able to return to Yanzhou next year, it could be regarded as returning to his roots......

Zhao Lin read the letter twice, got up and went back to the house to put it away in the cabinet, and then came to the bronze mirror in the living room and tidied up his clothes.

I promised Xiang Bao earlier that I would visit him when I returned from cultivation and cultivation, and now that I have been back for two days, it is time to fulfill my original promise.

Most of the disciples of the Dance Academy are gentlemen's friends, and they usually practice together, but they rarely communicate in private.

Xiang Bao invited Zhao Lin to his house, which meant to make in-depth friends.

After tidying up, Zhao Lin went out and came to the school field in the middle of the Dancing Elephant Academy.

"Why are you wearing so little?"

Xiang Bao glanced at Zhao Lin and said.

At this time, the weather has not yet warmed, and although those who practice martial arts are not afraid of the cold, most people would rather wear more clothes to save themselves from using their bodies to resist.

"In February and August, I am not afraid of the cold."

Zhao Lin replied with a smile.

In fact, he wears loose clothes to make room for his chest and back, and in case of an emergency, he has to rely on his acupuncture points to spray energy to escape.

Covered with a thick cotton coat, the hole was sealed.

"What is the harvest of Huilong Bay where you went to the Water Mirror Department?"

On the way down the mountain, Xiang Bao asked Zhao Lin about his views on this cultivation practice.

Zhao Lin shook his head lightly, "The momentum is magnificent, and I am greatly shocked, but the strength still cannot be infused into the two veins of Ren and Du." ”

"That is, the time has not yet arrived, so there is no hurry."

Xiang Bao said half-jokingly: "You are so powerful in the double realm of qi, and you can still get it when you reach the third level?" I'd rather slow down. ”

Zhao Lin also knew that he couldn't be in a hurry, so he changed the topic and asked, "I heard that your Fire Jade Department went to Beiqionghu to find a fire dragon, how about it?" ”

Beiqiong Lake is west of the Yanhang Mountains and has thirteen volcanic craters, and volcanic eruptions block the river, forming a dammed lake.

The volcanoes are quite active, erupting every few years.

Xiang Bao also shook his head and said: "The Earth Fire Dragon didn't move, but on the way back, I saw a Earth Fire." ”

"Earthfire?"

"It's a deep pit, and it's always burning with fire......"

After listening to it for a while, Zhao Lin gradually understood.

Xiang Leopard: What they saw should have been an underground natural gas fire, which was ignited by a mountain fire or lightning strike.

"Natural Gas ......"

Zhao Lin pondered for a long time, unable to think of any use this thing could have in the martial arts world, and finally laughed at himself.

Forget it, practicing martial arts with peace of mind is better than anything else.

In this world, even if you build a pistol, you will die to the martial artists of the Shangyuan Realm.

The two walked and chatted, and when they came to the bottom of the mountain, there was already a carriage waiting there.

"Young Master."

The coachman waiting in front of the carriage said respectfully.

"Let's go!"

Xiang Bao boarded the carriage, beckoned Zhao Lin to come up, and urged the coachman to say.

Zhao Lin originally thought that Xiangfu was in Yongning City, and in the bustling inner city, but found that the carriage was driving in the opposite direction.

When I asked, I found out that Xiangfu was at the foot of Xingyun Mountain.

The carriage traveled for more than half an hour and stopped in front of a mansion with a wide area and gray tiles and white walls at the southern foot of Xingyun Mountain.

Xiang Bao took Zhao Lin through several courtyard verandahs, and walked around to the main hall to meet his father Xiang Qingtang.

Xiang Qingtang was about forty or fifty years old, with a short beard on his lips, and his body was slightly blessed, and he was sitting on a chair drinking tea.

"Father."

Xiang Bao saluted respectfully and introduced sideways: "This is my friend Zhao Lin in the Dancing Elephant Academy. ”

Zhao Lin followed and said, "I've seen Uncle Xiang." ”

Xiang Qingtang smiled and said gently: "Xiang Bao often mentions you in front of me, and you are really a talent!" ”

"Uncle Xiang has won the award."

Zhao Lin responded modestly, a little surprised in his heart.

He originally thought that Xiang Bao's father must be a Yuan Realm martial artist, and at this moment, he felt his qi and blood, although he was more than vigorous, but he lacked the indifference and elegance of the elder, and eighty percent of it was just a blood realm cultivation.

But when you think about it, it seems reasonable.

The road of martial arts is bumpy and difficult, every big and small realm is a hurdle, stopping many people, and very few people can cultivate to the Yuan realm.

Zhao Lin often saw the five elders in the Dancing Elephant Academy, and he was accustomed to feeling that Yuan Realm martial artists were not uncommon, which was actually a kind of survivor biased thinking.

Xiang Qingtang smiled and said: "The first time we meet, I, as an elder, will definitely take out the meeting gift." ”

"Originally, there were some pills in the house, which were suitable for Qi Realm martial artists, but you are the first name of Qiu Cai, and you have even used the Washing Sutra Soup and the Five or Six Pills, so I can't take these pills......

Zhao Lin hurriedly said: "Uncle Xiang is polite, the juniors also came empty-handed, how can I be embarrassed to accept your gift." ”

Xiang Yingtang waved his hand and continued: "I heard that your family lives in the city, so I took the liberty to send someone to inquire, and learned that your parents are old and in poor health, and your brother and sister-in-law are also pregnant, so I prepared some ordinary medicinal materials, I hope you don't dislike them." ”

With a wave of his hand, a housekeeper walked over with a box in his hand.

Zhao Lin turned his head to look at Xiang Bao, Xiang Bao nodded slightly, and made a look.

"Thank you, Uncle Xiang." Zhao Lin took the medicine box.

After a few more pleasantries, Xiang Qingtang picked up the teacup.

Xiang Bao and Zhao Lin said goodbye and left in a funny way, and came to a pavilion to talk.

"Why don't you open it yet?" Xiang Bao said with a big grin, and his demeanor and demeanor were much more out of the way than when he was in the sect.

Zhao Lin opened the box and saw ginseng, nine shouwu, ligustrum, and morinda in it......

Although these medicinal materials are not as precious as the medicinal materials for martial arts, they are all in the best condition.

"Thank you, Brother Xiang!"

Zhao Lin thanked him earnestly.

"Small."

Xiang Bao didn't care about the authentic words, and glanced at Zhao Lin as he spoke, "There are still a few days to go before the Spring Festival, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhao Lin was stunned, "What are you going to do?" ”

He has been in the Dancing Elephant Academy for less than a year, and there is no ranking requirement in the spring ratio, and the rewards are not as rich as the autumn harvest, so he is not very concerned.

Xiang Bao asked in a tentative tone, "Do you use the Ice Fist during the competition?" ”

Zhao Lin was at a loss, and asked rhetorically: "How about using it, and what if you don't use it?" ”

"If you use the Ice Fist, I will admit defeat directly when I meet you, if you don't need to, you can have a good fight."

"No!"

……

On the first day of the first month of March, Zhao Lin was about to go out early in the morning, when he suddenly saw a servant in Tsing Yi coming to his door.

"May I ask if Your Excellency is Zhao Lin?"

Zhao Lin nodded, "It's me, what's the matter?" ”

"That's right, the day before yesterday, the Gate Post received a letter with your name on it, but it didn't say which courtyard it was. The villain inquired about it in the past two days, and only found it today. ”

As he spoke, the servant took out a letter with patent leather from his bosom.

Zhao Lin glanced at the name of the letter writer, and his heart "sighed".
