The next day, early in the morning.

On the stone table is a plate of white-flour steamed buns, a plate of pickles, and five eggs.

Lan Yuyu glanced at the pale ember ice with deep eyes in some surprise. Last night was fine, how did he become a monk?

Lan Xian looked at Ember Bing's appearance, and there was surprise in his eyes. It's just that his surprise is a little different from his daughter's.

"Li Gongzi, what are you?" Lan Xian asked tentatively.

"There have been some breakthroughs in cultivation, but some of them have consumed the origin." Knowing what he wanted to ask, Ember replied without being salty.

Lan Xian was even more surprised, and the steamed bun in his hand almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, he was quick to catch the steamed bun after reacting.

After a while, Lan Xian said faintly: "Li Gongzi is really a heavenly asset." ”

Ember Bing smiled: "Don't dare, don't dare, Mr. praise." ”

Lan Xian stopped talking, just silently nibbling on steamed buns.

The woman on the side watched her husband's vigorous action of scooping up steamed buns, and her heart blossomed, and the pickles were chewed more delicious than usual.

The breakfast ended in a rather pleasant atmosphere, and according to the agreement, Lan Yuyu took Ember Bing to meet the director of the school.

On the way, Ember Bing walked leisurely with Lan Yuyu, and returned to the idle appearance of the previous days.

"Wait for me here, don't move around." Walking to a cloth place, Lan Yuyu stopped her steps and turned her head to say to Ember Bing.

Ember did as he was told.

Not long after, Lan Yuyu greeted Ember Ice in the cloth shop. Ember walked over.

Lan Yuyu stood in front of a wooden door, saw Ember Bing passing, threw a sky blue round-necked robe in her hand, pointed to the wooden door on the side, and said concisely: "Go in and change in." ”

Ember Bing looked at the clothes, in terms of feel, it was a half-arm brocade, although there was still a gap compared to the clothes in the palace, but both the material and the workmanship were much better than what Lan Yuyu was wearing.

Without saying anything, Ember Bing walked into the changing room with his ready-to-wear clothes and walked out in a short-time manner.

Lan Yuyu has a good eye for clothes, and the sky blue round-necked narrow-sleeved robe is simply tailor-made for Ember Bing. Neither the style nor the color conflict with its temperament. In addition, the section on the chest that does not fit the neck makes the placket in front of the robe naturally loose and hangs down, forming a lapel wearing method, which further highlights the nobility of Ember Bing.

It is worth mentioning that Ember Bing did not wear the hat attached to his robe, but used a silver hairpin with a dark blue tie to tie up his long hair, which was even more uninhibited by the breeze, and at the same time showed that he was not an official or a scholar.

Just by changing his clothes, the down-and-out temperament that Ember Bing had worked so hard to imitate could no longer suppress the nobility that had been cultivated for more than ten years. It is not the feeling of wealth and nobility that is wrapped in a thousand dollars, but the momentum brought by being able to be good at writing and martial arts and always holding a high position.

Because of his handsome appearance and high-profile dress, as soon as Ember Bing pushed open the wooden door of the changing room, he attracted the onlookers of the guests in the cloth shop, and a few of them even shot straight over, it was a few girls who accompanied their mothers to buy fabrics, and were in the prime of their youth.

It was just early in the morning, there were not many guests in the cloth shop, and the scene was very stable.

"Let's go." Ignoring the reactions of the others, Ember Bing nodded to Lan Yuyu to thank her and smiled.

Lan Yuyu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and twisted her head to the side.

"Let's go."

With that, she hurried out of the cloth shop first, and Ember Ice strode to follow.

A few eyes in the cloth followed Ember Ice until he reached the intersection and turned a corner, then stared at the cloth in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

Lan Yuyu walked very fast, even in a hurry, which made Ember Bing have to take a big stride to keep up. The original two-quarter-hour journey forced the two to walk in less than a quarter of an hour.

Nothing to say all the way.

Finally, when she could see the school from a distance, Lan Yuyu stopped abruptly and turned her head.

Thanks to the cultivator's sharp reactions, this time Ember Ice was aware of her as soon as she stopped, and immediately followed suit.

"The dean's room is the one in the middle of the third row. I'll talk to him later. He had some friendship with my father and probably wouldn't have refused. You, wait until I come out. ”

After speaking, Lan Yuyu walked towards the academy, took two steps and turned back: "Don't follow me." There was a bit of a narrowness in the words.

Ember nodded no. Then he just watched Lan Yuyu walk towards the door of the school.

Suddenly, Ember Bing felt his shoulders tighten, he subconsciously exerted his strength, and then heard a "oops" sound.

He looked back and saw a man dressed as a student slumped on the ground, looking pained.

"Oh, I said, buddy, what are you doing here?" The man looked up at Ember Ice and asked in an unfriendly tone.

But if he is thrown to the ground, no one will be friendly. The man's reaction was normal.

"Wait for someone." Ember Bing answered the question.

The man rolled his eyes.

"Waiting for whom? Lan Wuyu? You can die. She's notoriously unapproachable. ”

Ember ignored him.

"Hey, brother, what's the matter, you're interested in her too?" Seeing that Ember Bing didn't speak, the man stood up and patted the dust on his body, and came over again.

Ember Bing's strength was well controlled, and the fall didn't hurt him.

Ember Bing glanced at him and said lightly, "What does it have to do with you?" “

The man was not annoyed after eating the closed door, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't you know, in this school, at least thirty percent of the male students are here for Lan Yuyu." After she dropped out of school a few days ago, the entire school was empty. At this, the gentlemen's angry beards straightened. Who knew that she was back today, hehehe, those people's repentant bowels were blue. ”

Hearing this, Ember Ice was a little surprised. He knew that with Lan Yuyu's appearance, there would be many suitors wherever he went, but he still didn't guess that it would be so exaggerated.

"But it's normal, she's good-looking, and her personality is gentle, 'My Fair Lady, Gentleman'." The man continued to speak to himself.

Good temper? Hehe. Ember Belly Slander. But then his face stiffened a little. When we meet in Pingshui, there is no need for that man to lie to him, so ......

"Hey, brother, I'll tell you......" The man wanted to say something, but after seeing Lan Yuyu walk out of the room where the dean was, nodding her head in this direction and walking towards the classroom, the volume instantly rose - "Brother, brother, did you see it, she nodded to me!" She took the initiative to nod to me and say hello! No, I'll have to go say hi. Brother, keep waiting, buddy will go first. ”

As he spoke, the man hurried towards the classroom, and because he was in too much of a hurry, he tripped over a small pebble on the ground and almost fell.

Ember didn't say anything, just frowned after the man left. He has always liked to be quiet, this man is too noisy.

As for Lan Yuyu nodding, it was naturally not to the man, but to tell Dean Ember Bing to agree with him.

Oh, the smell of sandalwood fills the quiet room.

The golden beast curled and spat mist, and only the crisp sound of tea cups colliding in the room remained.

The director of the school looked at the young man in front of him through the smoke, and he was a little distracted in a trance. But soon, he was smiling again.

"I wonder what Xiaoyou is looking for me?" The dean asked.

"Don't hide it from Mr., the kid is also a member of my Confucianism, since he left the academy, he is determined to travel around, and I heard that Mr. is famous, so I came to visit and ask for advice." Ember replied, smiling as well.

Scholars are like this, they have an arrogant personality, even if they are fellow cultivators, they are disdainful of practitioners of other systems, and even if they are subdued by force, they cannot win their approval. The only thing that can make them identify with is themselves.

So there was a scene where Ember Bing pretended to be a Confucian student. Fortunately, "Ukiyo-e", as a primitive method, is born with the effect of shielding the breath, otherwise this scene will be exposed.

"Where is the reputation of a rough man in the countryside? But it's not a mistaken child. Xiaoyou has said it. The dean said, but the smile between his eyebrows was a little better, and he didn't know whether it was the joy of meeting the same kind or the joy of being praised

"The boy wants to discuss with Mr., please give him some advice." Ember said again.

The dean shook his head, clearly refusing.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Xiaoyou. The old decay is not Confucianism, but martial arts. However, when I was young, I studied for two days, and now I don't want to go to the rivers and lakes anymore, so I opened a school here to seek purity. ”

Hearing this, Ember Bing's starry eyes lit up a little, as if he was interested. At the same time, he looked at the old man seriously.

It's actually a bit inappropriate to say that it's an old man. The person in front of him had seven points of gray hair, but there was still black or gray in between. The face is wheat-colored, with a beard under the nose and a goatee under the chin. To be honest, it doesn't look like a reader. But his face is smooth, his skin is delicate, and he feels like a crane-haired childish face, and he doesn't look like the perennial martial artist in his mouth.

The point is that in Ember Bing's perception, this person faintly exudes the heroic righteousness of Confucianism, and there is also a Taoist pure qi above his head, and he is a Confucian monk.

"Coincidentally, the kid also cultivates martial arts, please ask Mr. for advice." Ember Ice pressed closer.

"Ugh." The Dean sighed. But then the palm of the hand slapped on the table, shaking the tea in the cup to form a column of water.

The next moment, under the coercion of Zhenyuan, the water column with the thickness of chopsticks and the thickness of the tip of the head and tail pierced like the ember ice at the other end of the table.

The star map is a cultivator's means, and the imperial object of the three realms.

Ember Bing slammed his sleeves, and the sleeves slapped on the water column, scattering the water column and turning it into a drop of water that flew out, smashing the brick wall into small pits.

"Can Xiaoyou believe the words of the old man now?"

The boy did not dare, and never doubted what the gentleman said. It's just that my hands are itchy for a while, and I want to learn from others. Ember Ice stood up and confessed.

The dean waved his hand, looking like he would follow you.

At that moment, the two sat down and drank tea very tacitly. But while adding tea to Ember Ice, the water overflowed the teacup.

Not long after sitting down, Ember Ice had to get up again and give up.

"The boy took his leave. There is a lot of trouble, shame and shame. ”

"Don't sit down and talk to me?" The dean asked with a smile, his tone calm and unable to hear what was in his heart.

"Nope. It's just," Ember paused. "It may not be very peaceful in the city recently, Mr. Wang takes good care of the school, don't do anything unbeautiful."

When he said 'not too peaceful', Ember Bing's tone accentuated.

"Don't bother with your little friends." The dean said, and at the same time sat upright, without the slightest intention of getting up to see off the guests.

"Farewell." With another salute, Ember turned and walked out of the quiet room.

glanced at a classroom from a distance in the school, and Lan Yuyu was writing something at the desk. Dispelling the idea of informing her, Ember walked towards the gate notice board.

Out of the school, Ember Bing frowned.

The old man just now showed the ability of a cultivator of the Three Realms Star Map. But he has a strong sense of righteousness.

In this way, there is only one situation that can be explained, that is, the old man is the literary courage of the four grades of Confucianism.

Confucian scholars have an unparalleled ability to learn, or to reproduce the ability of any system to be inferior. The ability to control small objects just now is the signature ability of the Three Realms Star Map Monk, so he is at least a fourth-grade Confucian scholar, and of course, there is no shortage of stronger possibilities.

Fortunately, his goal has been achieved just now. Otherwise, a Confucian scholar of the fourth grade can bring too many variables to the plan.

Thinking of this, Ember Bing couldn't help but sigh - in just two days, he actually met two Confucian and Taoist cultivators. You must know that at the moment when the star map system is prevalent, monks from other systems are undoubtedly rare. This luck, it's simple.

In the quiet room, when Ember Bing walked away, the old man stared at the pit on the white wall that was smashed by water droplets, and shook his head imperceptibly for a long time.

"Old, old." The old man sighed, and immediately fell into deep thought.

The next day, the ember ice, which was finally vacated, went to the inn at the gate of the city early in the morning, and drank with the decorate for a dark day.

In the evening, after the wine dissipated, he went back to Lan's house to drink tea with Lan Xian, and then returned to the house to meditate with an overflowing aura.

On the third day, drink alcohol and tea.

On the fourth day, visit the city and drink tea.

On the fifth day, I inquired about the news and drank tea.

......

The half-human-high bushes in front of him shook violently, and the wind from the mountains penetrated the bushes, bringing a fishy smell.

Ember Ice clenched the short blade made of mortal iron in his hand, his eyes full of seriousness and caution.

Behind him, there was also a fox standing. The fiery fur and the bright eyes showed that it was extraordinary.

But Ember Ice didn't have the time to deal with it now, even the sharp teeth in the fox's mouth could tear off a large piece of flesh from a person.

"Click, click...", the sound of a branch breaking suddenly sounded in the bushes. And there was also a bulge protruding from the foot of Ember Ice, as if something was about to drill up from the ground.

Ember Bing's eyes flashed, and then he exerted force at his waist, driving his right leg to stomp on the ground fiercely, and the whole person flew out with a loud "bang".

At the same time, a tiger-eyed tiger sprang out of the bushes, and the smell of blood emanated from its body. It swooped down on the ember ice, its front paws glistening with a chilling glow, as if it had been made of fine iron.

Watching the tiger pounce, a little smile appeared on the corner of Ember Bing's mouth. After a few rounds of fighting, he had a rough idea of the tiger's attack.

I saw that his body sank suddenly, and then he shoveled under the tiger's belly with the momentum, and the short blade in his hand rose as hard as he could, opening the tiger's intestines and breaking its belly, and even bringing out its internal organs with such force.

By inertia, Ember Ice stopped when he rushed out of the tiger for nearly half a meter or so.

Although he inflicted serious injuries on the tiger, he did not have time to breathe. The fighting in the Sword Pavilion has shaped him with the most solid fighting skills and an excellent sense of battle.

With another force at the waist, Ember Ice flicked up, and then immediately pounced forward, narrowly dodging the sweep of the tiger's whip-like tail.

As a demon beast that is about to transform, the tiger also has a very strong physique, if Ember Ice is swept by its tail, even if he is also majoring in physique, it will not be much better, at least one or two ribs will be broken.

Distancing himself from the mortally wounded tiger, Ember Ice set his sights on the red fox who saw that the situation was not right and was about to escape.

But the embarrassing thing is that after a fight just now, he has already finished in one breath. And if you breathe, it will be difficult to catch up with the red fox. Even if you catch up, it will take a lot of time. Although they are all demon beasts that have not been transformed, he is also sealed now, and his true yuan cannot be used at all, and his body has also been suppressed to the half-step initial realm.

Just when he was in urgent need of a choice, Ember Ice suddenly closed his eyes.

At this moment, his mind flashed the scene of Li Qingyun killing the Ming demigod with a sword on Wenjian Mountain.

Then, throw the blade.

A cold light swept through the back of the neck of the running red fox, as if the fox had come up on its own.

The fox kicked twice, then stopped moving, losing its breath.

"Smack, smack, smack." The sound of clapping came from the woods not far away.

The white-clothed Katsuyuki jumped down from a certain treetop, with a look of appreciation in his eyes. Soon, however, when he walked into the "battlefield", the look of admiration was suppressed, replaced by a hint of dissatisfaction and blandness.

"Clean up the battlefield and put things away. Remember, move fast, the smell of blood will attract other creatures in the mountains. You'll never know if it's a beast or a monster. ”

He said quickly, and at the same time, he clicked a few acupuncture points on Ember Bing's body, restoring his suppressed true yuan and physical fitness.

Quickly put the tiger corpse and fox corpse on the ground into the wrench, and dug out the pangolin from the ground that was knocked on the top of his head and fainted, cut his throat, and also put it into the wrench, Ember Bing and Gui Yu glanced at each other, and then flew down the mountain at the same time, heading straight for the county seat.

On the way, Qi Yu suddenly said: "Although I don't know what you have experienced in the past year or so, it is undeniable that the combat experience is indeed a lot richer. ”

Hearing the compliment, Ember Bing scratched his head with a smile.

"However,"

Ember Bing's heart sank, and sure enough, there was still but. Just like before going up the mountain, every time he took him to hunt or suppress bandits, he would always let him strike first, and then clean up the aftermath himself. When summarizing afterwards, they all praise first and then preach.

However, it was those preaching that made me suffer a lot less in the Sword Pavilion.

"Remember to give yourself a way out at all times. Just now when you slew the fox, you threw the dagger. Have you ever wondered what you would have done if the Short Blade hadn't nailed the fox to death? Seeing that you are without a blade, will the fox come back again? Or what if other monsters come? As far as I know, there are strange beasts in this mountain. ”

Ember Bing swallowed a mouthful of saliva and came.

Although helpless, Ember Bing knew that what his eldest brother said was right, even if he was completely sure of killing the fox demon, but in case the demon beast appeared again, he was sealed and cultivated, and he was likely to hate him.

Immediately, Ember Bing could only nod his head in agreement.

As monks, neither of them is slow. Ordinary people have half a day's foot strength, and it only took half a stick of incense to arrive between the two of them.

"You're in a hurry to use the silver?" After entering the city gate, looking at Ember Ice, who was about to sell the loot in a hurry, he wondered.

Ember Ice was silent for a moment.

"It really works."

Tiger fairy blood, tiger bones, and a large amount of broken silver. This is what Lan Xian asked Ember Ice to help with at breakfast today. Ember Ice also probably guessed his purpose.

After seven days of cultivation, regardless of the unstable foundation, Lan Xian's cultivation not only recovered the state before the injury, but also rushed to the peak of the third grade in one fell swoop. Tiger bones and tiger blood have a lot of ferocious energy, which is used to stimulate potential.

Obviously, Lan Xian wanted to use the secret method to break through to the fourth grade, that is, the level of the Star Yuan Realm, which was equivalent to the Star Atlas One Vein. And presumably, when he breaks through, it will be time to share life and death with the Ming clan.

"Then go sell it first." Decay Road. "I have a channel outside the government here, and I can sell more silver, would you like to?"

Ember Bing nodded: "That's naturally best." ”

The two turned around, and finally arrived at a Zhumen house in the outer city.

In the context of the unified construction of the outer city, this is obviously a mansion of a rich and noble family, which is convenient for the surroundings to be out of place.

Under Ember Bing's curious gaze, Gui Shan pushed the door open.

"Uncle Hu, I have good goods here, can you accept them?"

After a while, a rough voice came from inside the room.

"Take, of course. As long as it's good enough, I'll take anything. ”

As he spoke, a man walked out of the house. Contrary to his gruff voice, the man was lean, with a dark face and shrewd eyes.

Seeing the man come out, he looked at Ember Ice and motioned for him to take out the beast corpse.

Ember Ice flicked his fingers, and three beast corpses appeared on the ground. At the same time, he held a short blade and a porcelain vase in his hands.

Quickly stabbed into the heart of the tiger demon, and the true yuan was output, squeezing out the remaining blood in it and filling a porcelain bottle. Then he cut off the tiger's head and fox skin, and his movements were skillful.

Putting the collected items back into the wrench, Ember looked at the man he was called 'Uncle Hu'.

"These are all sold."

Examining the corpse on the ground, the man's face froze.

"Where's Tiger Claw? What about the scales on the forehead of pangolins? What about fox fangs? ”

"Put it away." Ember Ice was expressionless.

"Put it away? You kid is knowledgeable, and what you put away is all good things. How much is this broken meat worth? Don't accept it, don't accept it. Take it away, take it away. ”

Hearing this, Ember Bing frowned, but the eyes of Zhu Bing on the side flashed with essence.

"Uncle Hu, you can't say that. This demon beast meat is not cheap elsewhere, let alone the meat of this half-stepped demon beast. Beast bones contain energy, which is even more good. Speaking of which, he paused. And as you said, it's all good stuff to put away. It's not something that can be exchanged for silver, you have to come up with something that can be put on the table. ”

Ember Bing wanted to say something, but he was quietly stepped on by Zhu Zhu, and immediately kept silent.

The man glanced at the two of them, and the look in his eyes was a little complicated and a little playful.

"And what do you kid want? Let's talk about it. ”

He smiled - there was a door.

"Of course it's what you're best at."

The man glared at the hippie-smiling Gui Qi angrily, and took out two objects from his waist, and when Ember looked carefully, it was a small blood-colored bone flute and a pair of sky-blue earrings.

"Pick one. Exchange those three things. ”

Ember Bing, who was born in the royal family, naturally knew that it was a good thing, and immediately took out three objects from his wrench, and asked at the same time: "Three for one?" ”

The man raised his eyebrows: "What?" Too expensive? If it's too expensive, get out early. Absolutely no bargaining. ”

The sharp-eyed Gui Yu found that when he scolded Ember Bing, the man rarely showed shrewdness and impatience, as if it was, proud?

Ember Bing laughed: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive." ”

At the same time, he starts to pick up the same thing from the wrench.

Two red feathers, six nails that looked like bird claws, and a beak that exuded a good fire attribute true element.

"I'll have both."

At this time, Ember Ice felt a little rich, and at the same time maintained the posture of digging something, it seemed that as long as the man still had a baby, he could continue to change.

The man seemed a little dazed, but when he saw the beak of the bird, his eyes suddenly became hot.

"Here you go."

Throwing the bones and earrings in his hand to Ember Ice like rags, the man quickly grabbed the materials on the ground.

As soon as he reached out and touched the bird's beak, the man felt the burning sensation it brings.

"Good fellow, this is, the rhyme of the way of fire?" After feeling it slightly, the man said with some surprise, and his voice trembled a little.

"The bloodline talent of the alien beast is only, and it is just an ordinary alien beast, not at the level of the desolate ancient, so it is not worth mentioning." Ember Ice said plainly.

In fact, the value of the bird's beak definitely exceeded the value of either of the two ornaments that the man took out.

Ember Bing said plainly, but in fact, he only had one material of this level, and he was still ignorant when he was cleaning up the corpse after being killed by Li Qingyun when a strange beast attacked in the Sword Pavilion. As for whether Li Qingyun knows it or not, it doesn't belong to his control, at least Li Qingyun doesn't want to go back.

You must know that Dao rhyme, even if there is only a trace of it, is precious. This is an item that can help with cultivation. On the bright side, it can be said that there is no market.

At least, if you want to obtain items with Dao rhyme, in addition to those from alien beasts, you can only have them on the stars in the body of the Star Lord level monk and demon beast. Alien beasts are at least the strength of the six realms, and the desolate beasts can reach the eleventh realm and the twelfth realm. Even if the alien beast can't give birth to spiritual intelligence, its strong physique and strange bloodline talent are enough to support it to kill enemies at the next level.

Of course, Dao Yun is also divided into strong and weak. Or rather, integrity. The completeness of the Dao rhyme that is stripped from the star lord is related to the cultivation of the star lord and the degree of comprehension of the Great Dao. The Dao rhyme of the beast depends on the concentration of the bloodline. From the desolate ancient beasts to the ordinary beasts, the bloodline concentration is gradually thinning, and the Dao rhyme contained in it will naturally be incomplete. But that doesn't detract from its preciousness.

It's just that the so-called Tao rhyme is helpful for cultivation, and it is also relative. For example, the fire path rhyme contained on the beak of the bird that Ember Bing just took out was only helpful to those who practiced the fire attribute method, not only was it not beneficial to other cultivators, but it was even harmful to some people.

It is precisely because of this that Ember Ice will be exchanged for it.

Rubbing the beak of the bird in his hand, the man's gaze at Ember Ice also became hot.

"Uncle Hu, what about the remaining demon beast flesh?" Seeing that the situation was not quite right, Qi Qi hurriedly spoke, trying to change the topic.

With a "snap", a silver ticket was slapped on the wooden table on the side, and at this time, the man's expression also returned to normal.

He glanced at the silver ticket, which was worth one hundred taels. Regardless of the bargaining, he put away the silver ticket, and walked out with the ember ice, ignoring even the most basic etiquette.

Looking at the back of the enemy, the man smiled, and immediately threw the materials and flesh into the backyard like garbage.

"It's still too young. However, the two of you actually got together, which is interesting. ”
