The gathering of the training ground at the end of the month ended with Xia Jiang miraculously passing Xia Yan's three moves.

Undoubtedly, this result was completely unexpected by everyone, and they didn't expect Xia Yan to lose, but most of them didn't think much of this result, after all, Xia Yan had a very serious problem of underestimating the enemy, and if it was a regular battle, Xia Jiang would never have the slightest chance.

However, Xia Yun'er didn't see it that way, she knew that it must be the Blood Melting Pill she gave that had an effect, which made her very pleased.

Before leaving, Xia Jiang thanked Xia Yun'er, but considering that he was still not very popular, he didn't want to implicate the other party, so he came back quickly, and now the most important thing for him is to improve himself.

After returning home, Xia Jiang immediately ordered his subordinates that he was going to go through a long period of retreat and cultivation, and there was nothing to call him.

Although he had passed the level in the hands of the thirteenth brother and the fourth brother in a row, he knew very well that it was a complete fluke, and now that he knew that this demon devouring sword technique was very powerful, he had to hurry up and cultivate.

While thinking, Xia Jiang quickly came to the training ground, and without saying a word, he immediately waved his red wooden stick to warm up.

In the next few days, he will have to do high-intensity and long-term training, and he will completely improve his strength!

The whistling sound of the red wooden stick comes and goes, and it constantly collides with various wooden stake targets, and the tiger is vigorous.

Drink, drink, drink.

With the entire cultivation site as the center, all kinds of crackling sounds continued to come out in all directions, gradually getting louder and more rhythmic.

It continued continuously, and it wasn't until an hour had passed that Xia Jiang stopped and gasped for air.

"Warm up...... Let's get here first......"

Xia Jiang gasped for a while, sat down on the ground, exhaled, and his gaze fell on the red wooden stick.

Anything in this world that can be called a magic weapon undoubtedly has certain characteristics, such as this red wooden stick, which is characterized by [tenacity].

Looking at the red wooden stick in his hand, after the destruction of these thousands of blows, now this red wooden stick only leaves traces on the surface, and the essence has not been damaged by Yan zhòng, with his previous experience, this red wooden stick can be used for him to cultivate for at least half a year.

But at this moment, Xia Jiang couldn't help but think of the Demon Devouring Sword Technique in his mind, and then looked at this red wooden stick, he always felt a little awkward. But he couldn't help but think about it, where did he have spare money to buy a sword at the moment, it was simply a luxury.

Dispelling the chaotic thoughts, Xia Jiang's thoughts suddenly returned to the previous training ground, where he fought with the two brothers separately.

There is actually nothing to say about the battle with Thirteen, the main thing is that the opponent's genre is just restrained by the body he has just improved, and it is easy to win.

It was mainly the battle with his fourth brother Xia Yan, which made Xia Jiang feel incredible, especially the last move he used, which was no different from the previous move, but I don't know what's going on, so he burst out with a power beyond his own and actually threw the other party out!?

"Could it be that the mystery of this swordsmanship is the explosion of power, accumulating strength in slowness? But after I accelerate the swordsmanship with all my might, where is the strength that can explode?......

Continuing to look at the red wooden stick, recalling the previous scene, Xia Jiang couldn't help but shake his head, denying his conjecture.

Unable to find an answer, he had no choice but to start studying the Demon Devouring Sword Technique, and suddenly, a large number of numbers began to appear in his mind.

Skipping over a lot of things he didn't understand, soon, Xia Jiang's thoughts were concentrated in one place.

"Demon Devouring Sword Technique, as the name suggests, it has the ability to devour a qiē "demon" thing, turn it into one's own use, or absorb it, and it can continuously enhance the ...... of the Demon Devouring Sword and the Sword Master."

Well!

Seeing this paragraph, Xia Jiang was dumbfounded!

Engulf??

Seeing these two words appear in this paragraph, Xia Jiang couldn't believe it, couldn't help shaking his head, searched again, and after a while, the identical information was captured by him again.

And the most powerful thing about the Demon Devouring Sword Technique is that it allows cultivators at the middle and low stages of cultivation to fight against opponents of the same level, constantly improving themselves in battle, and quickly improving their cultivation...... After the battle with Xia Yan, although I didn't notice that I had grown significantly, I seemed to be starting to feel a little confident......

The brain couldn't help but heat up, Xia Jiang continued to explore, and saw the following sentence.

"But there is only one small drawback, that is, devouring too many chaotic "demons" may lead to a collapse of the body and mind, and eventually explode or die of brain death......"

Belch?......

Seeing this, Xia Jiang's full of excitement immediately turned off, his heart beat sharply, and he instantly felt as if his whole body was a little uncomfortable.

Goo-dong -

Swallowing hard, he continued to look down, and saw that there was a little explanation of "demon" below.

Demons, or energy, are divided into the energy that is commonly seen, and the spiritual energy.

The first type of energy, which is a qiē battle, or the energy generated by things in motion.

The second type of energy is the normally invisible energy that is guided by the mind, and can be as small as a mere inconsequential thought.

"Isn't it 'physical energy' and 'spiritual energy'?" Xia Jiang saw these again, and suddenly felt that his mind was much clearer, and he finally understood why this set of exercises was called "Demon Devouring".

To be able to devour a qiē physical energy and then devour spiritual energy in a battle, how perverted is this?

What level of exercise is this?

This kind of exercise is at least at that "spiritual level", or even higher!

The levels of cultivators in this world are divided into: cultivators, monks, cultivators, great cultivators, spiritual cultivators, spirit kings, spirit emperors, and gods.

Xia Jiang had only heard of the legendary spirit-level exercises, all of which were extremely perverted, but the more powerful the exercises, the higher the cultivation requirements, if it was a spirit-level exercise, then at worst, it would be a strong person at the level of a major cultivator before it could be practiced.

Even if a low-level cultivator forcibly cultivates a high-level exercise, the final effect is not even as good as that of a low-level exercise, and it is possible that he will directly go mad and explode to death.

Speaking of exploding the body, it made Xia Jiang suddenly think of his demon devouring sword technique, if he couldn't get the energy he devoured, I am afraid that there was also a danger of exploding.

Thinking of this, he felt uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but think of the old-timers.

Thinking of the old-timer, Xia Jiang felt a little relieved: since the old man was willing to give him this exercise to cultivate, there should be a way to calm the chaos, otherwise if he exploded and died, wouldn't his old man himself be finished?

But I immediately called out several times in my heart, and there was still no response from the old-timers.

"Seniors! seniors...... Geezer!!...... Are you there?"

No matter how Xia Jiang calls in his heart, the old-timers seem to have never existed.

No, it really doesn't appear?

Xia Jiang couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly recalled what the old man said when he left: "A trace of my thoughts is about to dissipate, and I can only appear again when you make a little progress......"

Idea?Progress?......

Xia Jiang thought about it so carefully now, and only then did he understand the old man's temporary explanation, which made him suddenly think of what happened before the old man appeared!

Is it the Blood Melting Pill?

The Blood Melting Pill improved tremendously in an instant, and the huge medicinal effect did not disappear, but was all absorbed, and then the old man appeared, so that is to say, he had to create that breakthrough huge effect again, and the old man could appear again!

Understanding, Xia Jiang's eyes lit up and swept over the cultivation ground. Now, it was impossible for him to have a second Blood Melting Pill, but he could improve himself by cultivating the Demon Devouring Sword Technique frantically.

"Since that's the case, then the prince will cultivate him first!"

The cultivation ground in the center of the garden, followed by a rapid run, fell into an endless crackling sound again.

――――

A few days later, in the mansion of the Nine Princesses, on the shore of a certain turquoise lake, in the shade of weeping poplars and willows.

At this moment, two figures stood here one after another, the former silently looked at the lake and was distracted, and the latter came and stood quietly on the side without saying a word.

After a long time, the latter seemed to be unable to bear the calm, and said, "Princess......" A soft call woke up the former, and also broke the peace here.

That's right, it was none other than the Ninth Princess who was standing by the lake, and even in this own territory, her face was still veiled.

Speaking of this veil, even Xiao Guan, the waiter who spoke out, didn't understand it very well, because she hadn't seen the true face of the princess yet.

It is said that this Xiaoguan is a hard-working person, he lost his parents since he was a child, he was helpless, with his appearance and knowledge, he was selected by the palace, and successively scouted several princes, but they did not stay long, and they were transferred to several concubines, and finally he was just going to be there with Concubine Qin, but he was directly recommended to the ninth princess by Concubine Qin, and it was calculated for five or six years, and he followed a master for more than half a year.

Now, she has followed the Ninth Princess for about half a year, and finally has the feeling of taking root. But even so, she didn't know anything about the ninth princess, and always felt that the other party was very mysterious, but as a subordinate, she did her duty and didn't say much.

Until now, I haven't even seen the true face of the Ninth Princess Xia Yun'er once.

However, she enjoyed following the Ninth Princess's side, especially recently, the other party also gave her the right to enter and leave the mansion freely, she had the opportunity to go out and see the outside world more, and she could ...... Go and see the son of Concubine Naqin, the Ninth Prince.

"Is it lively outside?"

Xia Yun'er retracted her gaze from looking at the lake and lost her mind, flashed with curiosity, and turned to Xiaoguan on the side.

"Well, it seems that because of the surrounding wars, there are more traders and monks from all over the place, and it is very lively!" Xiao Wan's mind suddenly floated to see the situation outside.

Xia Yun'er nodded, very satisfied with the result, and then turned to leave the lake, and said, "Then, how about the Ninth Prince?"

"The Ninth Prince, well, I heard that he started his retreat after he went back, so he should still be cultivating desperately!" Xiaoguan said truthfully, saying that this news was not easy to come by, and the subordinates of the Nine Princes' Mansion seemed to be tight-lipped, so it took her a lot of effort to inquire accurately.

Hearing this news, Xia Yun'er showed a hint of relief in her eyes, but soon she was a little confused, and couldn't help muttering: "That day in the training ground, why did he just say thank you hastily and leave, could it be that the Blood Melting Pill has no effect?"

Xiao Guan, who was silently listening to Xia Yun'er's muttering on the side, was really puzzled, she didn't understand why her princess cared so much about the ninth prince, it stands to reason that only the eldest prince and the second prince should be worthy of her attention.

But obviously, she could only continue to wonder, only to listen to Xia Yun'er then instructed: "In the past few days, you continue to go there to see, and if there is any change, tell me ......."

"Yes. ”

......
