"Haha, if you continue like this, your Xuan Power will run out sooner or later, and then you will be no different from ordinary people......" Tianxiao said secretly in his heart.

The man in black suddenly increased the intensity of the Xuan Force, and the severe pain hit, and Tianxiao only supported it for a moment before fainting again. In just a few days, he had been in a coma several times.

When he woke up in a daze, he felt exhausted and weak, and the Xuan Power in his body was actually consumed! Seeing the man in black meditating beside him, he suddenly understood: "You have sucked away my Xuan Power!"

"Hmph, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. The man in black sneered, "Xuanli is so precious, how can I waste it at will?"

Tianxiao said weakly: "What if you can absorb the Xuan Force? As long as I don't recover the Xuan Force, you won't be able to absorb it!"

"Stinky boy ......" The black-clothed man was in a hurry, but he was helpless, the kid in front of him was a guy who didn't eat hard and soft.

"When a person's Xuan Power is exhausted and he collapses into a coma, his body will slowly recover some of his Xuan Power on its own. I'll just suck up your little bit of mystic power. "The man in black started playing scoundrels.

......

The painful days lasted like this for four years, and every day the man in black would absorb Tianxiao's mysterious power and then knock him unconscious, Tianxiao was miserable, and the man in black became more and more impatient.

"You've all cultivated into a sword demon, what else do you want Xuanli to do!" Tianxiao finally couldn't help but yell. He never understood why the man in black didn't soar.

"You seem to think that I am absorbing mystical power to increase my strength?" the man in black asked rhetorically.

"Isn't it? Once you run out of power, you'll be like an ordinary person. Tianxiao felt strange, could it be that he was wrong?

"You don't understand. "I didn't want to stay here for a long time." But Feisheng needs to condense the Xuan Qi in the body into another kind of power, and it must be supported by a large amount of Xuan Qi, but I can't go back to the Xuan Qi Continent, alas, ......"

It was the first time that Tianxiao had heard about what had happened after the Heavenly Tribulation, and he was quite curious, he remembered that the Black Knife Patriarch had said that the second layer of the Yu Yu Realm had Yuan and Meng Qi. "Is that another kind of power the power of Mengli?" he thought to himself.

"After practicing as a sword demon, the lifespan has broken through the limit, but this is a kind of pain. In the Aura Continent, there must also be sword immortals, and I have to endure these hundreds of years. I know that you resent me for killing the people of Jingren Village, that is just a habit that I have carefully cultivated for many years, if I was not ruthless and careful enough, I would have died many times. The man in black's voice was calm and melancholy, "Boy, why don't we talk about a condition." It doesn't matter if you don't want to worship me as a teacher, I can do one thing for you, provided I have the ability to do it. In exchange, how about you meditate every day to restore your mystical power?"

Tianxiao was surprised by the sudden change in the attitude of the man in black, and asked puzzledly, "Why don't you insist?"

"I want to persevere, but you can't hold on! At this rate, I won't have enough of your limit by then, and then we'll be finished together!" said the man in black angrily.

Tianxiao suddenly realized that he was the realm of the void and the underworld, and if he didn't meditate or cultivate, it would be a matter of time before he died.

"If you're okay, you can also let me do something for your brother. The man in black said again.

Tianxiao's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly said, "I don't have a younger brother!"

"Heh, don't hide it anymore, you are He Tianxiao. The man in black laughed.

Tianxiao's face was gloomy, and he knew that he couldn't hide it: "How do you know?"

"I heard that eleven years ago, there was a young disciple in the Taiqing Sect who gave up cultivating immortals, and I immediately guessed that it was you. In addition, your younger brother He Tianyao left a handwriting in the room where you used to live, which confirmed my suspicion even more. To my surprise, you turned out to be a disciple of the No. 1 Immortal Cultivation Sect in the Blue Dragon Continent known as a 'genius', haha, they never dreamed that this kind of person was a person from my demon cultivation team, great, great!" The man in black laughed loudly, and Tian Xiao couldn't understand why he was so happy.

"Brother Yao, what did he write?" asked Tianxiao.

"It's just the word 'Tianyao'. ”

"What are you doing back to Jingren Village?"

"Coincidentally, a few days ago, I happened to see a figure flying out of the Imperial Sword in Jingren Village, so I went to take a look. The man in black replied.

Tianxiao's heart beat wildly, and he asked in a low voice, "What happened to Brother Yao?"

"Not much. Their edges fly very fast, and I don't bother to spend my Xuan energy chasing them. ”

Listening to the words of the man in black, Tianxiao breathed a long sigh of relief: "If you hurt Brother Yao, even if I die, I won't let you get what you want." You just said 'them', who else?"

"How do I know who it is? and two others who seem to be women. ”

Tianxiao nodded, thinking, "It is estimated that it is Senior Sister Junhe and Xiaomin." What are they looking for me for? Did my grandfather or Master let them come?"

"Since you have embarked on the demon cultivation side, it is better not to be involved with immortal cultivators, don't look at their sanctimoniousness, in fact, there are not a few good things in their bones. The man in black said coldly, smiling suddenly, "But they are in trouble themselves." Five years later, it's time for me to get my revenge. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"During your years in this cave, two big things happened outside. First, the five highest-ranking swords in the peerless immortal sword reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and second, the mysterious dragon clan and the immortal cultivators were ready to go to war. In order to ease the tense relationship with Tianxiao, the man in black answered all his questions.

Hearing the words "peerless immortal sword" and "mysterious dragon clan", Tianxiao's eyes suddenly lit up, which means that the person who went to the Shuzang Palace has returned! No wonder Tianyao will go down the mountain to find himself, it must be Senior Lu who sent him!

"After all that, have you thought about it?" the man in black asked impatiently.

Tianxiao calmed down his excitement a little and said, "Okay, but the conditions are up to me." ”

The man in black seemed a little unhappy, and said in a low voice: "Listen first!"

"Let me ask you first, if my daily meditation and cultivation provide you with Xuan power, you want it

How long will it take to ascend?" asked Tianxiao.

The man in black pinched his fingers and calculated: "It will take twenty years to say the least." ”

Tianxiao is not very satisfied with this result, twenty years, too unfree. He thought for a moment and asked, "If I provide you with enough Xuan Qi, how many years will it take for you to transform into Xuan Power by yourself?"

"What are you talking about?, can you control the Xuan Qi inside the knife?" the man in black suddenly raised his voice, extremely excited.

Tianxiao nodded: "The Xuan Qi in the knife is endless, but my realm is not high, so the Xuan Qi is not enough for you." If it were you, I guess the efficiency would be much faster, right?"

"Haha, of course, of course! Give me enough Xuan Qi, I only need eight years, no, six years to soar! Okay, you can say the conditions!" The man in black was in a good mood.

"From now until your ascension, you must guarantee my safety, and you cannot refuse my request. "Of course, I won't indiscriminately instruct you to do things for me. Besides, you have to do your best to guide me in cultivating demons during this time, how about it?"

The man in black pondered for a moment: "I won't help you unless I have to." It's impossible to follow your orders all the time, so let's do it, I promise to grant you three requests, but there is one thing, I won't help Taiqing Sect or other immortal cultivators. As for what guides you, you can rest assured. ”

"Good!" Tianxiao stretched out his hand, "a gentleman's word." ”

The man in black shook his hand: "It's hard to chase the horse!"

The corners of Tianxiao's mouth raised slightly, the strength of the man in black was undoubted, and he didn't have to worship him as a teacher to get the guidance of a sword demon, so it couldn't be better. As for the other condition, he didn't really care. Although the man in black said that he would not help other immortal cultivators, at a critical moment, Tianxiao could just take action himself, and it was impossible for the man in black to watch him fall into danger.

From then on, Tianxiao practiced the knife every morning, and in the afternoon, the Xuan Qi of the Split Sky Knife was transmitted to the man in black, and he meditated at night to restore the Xuan power. The man in black didn't have to be so troublesome, he just instructed Tianxiao to practice the sword in the morning, absorbed Xuan Qi in the afternoon, and often went out in the evening, and didn't come back until dawn. Tianxiao didn't want to ask more, and the man in black was also happy to be quiet.

......

Tianyao, Hua Qingyu and Zhu Xiaomin have been down the mountain for almost half a year, but they haven't heard any news about Tianxiao. Now the three of them are in the Night Crying Valley in the western part of Qianlong County.

"It seems that Brother Tianxiao is not here either, alas. Zhu Xiaomin sighed.

"Brother Tianxiao has been to these places since he went down the mountain, so let's look for it patiently. Tianyao comforted her. Since the clue of Jingren Village was broken, the three of them looked for many places like headless flies, but unfortunately found nothing. Helpless, Tianyao decided to come to the place where Tianxiao had been to take a look. Looking at the cliffs on both sides of the Night Crying Valley, recalling the situation of climbing the cliff and refining the body, Tianyao felt extremely melancholy.

"The aura at the bottom of the valley is so thin, how could Brother Tianxiao come back here?" Zhu Xiaomin said, suddenly thinking of something, "Will he go to the Ethereal Spirit Mountain to cultivate?"

Tianyao shook his head: "No." Have you forgotten? Brother Tianxiao's cultivation doesn't need aura at all, how could he run to the territory of demon beasts?"

Hua Qingyu asked: "Where else did Tianxiao go down the mountain before he came to spend the night in Wailing Valley?"

Tianyao carefully recalled: "The first time I went down the mountain was with my senior brother and second senior sister to Mangjingzong in this county. After the Taiqing Martial Arts Meeting, I went to the Green Cloud Swamp in Youlong County, and after coming out, I played with several senior brothers, senior sisters, and Xiaomin for a few days. Then it was a trip to the Arctic ice field to break the ice. Following the cultivation of the three seniors, it was the last time to go down the mountain. ”

"You Long County and Shenglong County don't have to think about it, it's impossible for Tianxiao to go, and it's even more impossible for Mangjing Sect. All that remains is the Arctic ice sheet. Hua Qingyu analyzed.

"When we were in the Arctic ice field, we didn't stay anywhere, and I don't think Brother Tianxiao would go there. Zhu Xiaomin said, "Maybe he's wandering around, maybe he's been taken away by someone, maybe it's ......" She suddenly stopped and shook her head again and again, "Impossible, impossible......"

Tianyao and Hua Qingyu both knew what the last possibility was, perhaps, Tianxiao's bones were buried in the fields of Jingren Village.

After a few days of searching along the Valley of Night Wailing, the trio left disappointed. In the future, I can only try my luck like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Every time she went to a state city, Zhu Xiaomin would ask the shopkeeper of Xueqing Inn, but she didn't even know what clothes Tianxiao was wearing, so she could only roughly describe that she was about the same height as Tianyao, with slightly dark skin, not long hair, and handsome appearance. Every shopkeeper also shook his head, in line with this rough description of the young man, the Qinglong Continent doesn't know how many there are, every day guests come and go, where do you remember? Although Zhu Xiaomin told the shopkeeper to pay attention to people with such a appearance in the future, he didn't have much hope in his heart.

On this day, the three of them came to Jianzhou, the royal capital of Xianglong County.

Jianzhou is located in the north of Xianglong County, very close to the Qinxue River, and is the location of the Pingyu Palace, so it is quite lively. The last three of the wind, flower, snow, and moon rooms in the Xueqing Inn are full all year round, and there are few free times. When Zhu Xiaomin and the three of them came, the shopkeeper could only arrange the two most modest guest rooms, "Yangliufeng" and "Xiaochun Breeze", but fortunately, the three of them didn't care about these.

In the morning, the three of them went outside for a ride. People come and go on the street, all kinds of faces flicker in front of their eyes, leisurely and leisurely brothers, hurried business travelers, small vendors selling along the street, dusty returnees, laughing, serious, relaxed, anxious, everyone's expression is different, the vast sea of people, all living beings, dotted with this lively state city.

It's easier said than done to find someone who has disappeared in such a place. At noon, the three of them came to the largest restaurant in the city, and while watching the bustling crowd downstairs, they listened to the haikan of the diners.

"Brother Hu, what's wrong with your hand?" "Hey, don't mention it, it's not like you're messing with your sister-in-law......"

"Look, this sword cost me twenty taels of silver, isn't it?" "Why is it so expensive?" "This is still cut down at a bargain, and the boss will ask for thirty taels as soon as he opens his mouth...

...”

"It's really hard to hunt game now, it's hard to catch fish, and the prices of vegetables in the shop are much darker. "Isn't there still a mountain treasure without game? "It's not all the dragons who made ...... hell."

"I heard that there is news that there is a seven-star sword in Bian Zhou, let's go over and take a look, right?" "Just the two of us?" "What's wrong with the two of us, it doesn't matter if you go over and take a look, I haven't seen what the peerless fairy sword looks like......"

The voices are full of voices, gossip.

Tianyao sighed softly, Zhu Xiaomin suggested that every time he arrived in a state city, he should go to the noisiest restaurant to investigate, maybe he could hear some clues, and all he heard was some useless words. Occasionally, I heard the news about the peerless immortal sword, and later found out that it was fake.

What's even more annoying is that in a place like a restaurant, where fish and dragons are mixed, and there are always some ill-intentioned guys who come to talk to them, who makes the two girls both beauties? The person who accosted them is either a rich son, or the son of an official eunuch, and occasionally a cultivator who feels good about himself, and the three of them are overwhelmed, and they have no choice but to go out, Hua Qingyu and Zhu Xiaomin both carry hats when they go out.

After three pots of tea, Tianyao finally lost his patience and got up and said, "Let's go." The three of them were about to go downstairs, but they saw several immortal cultivators in purple shirts and sword covers coming up from the staircase.

"Taiqing Sect!" Tianyao whispered, the three of them were all too familiar with the clothes. After the person who hit the head turned around, the three of them saw his face clearly, and it turned out to be Yan Luoting.

At this time, it was too late to hide, Yan Luoting's eyes had already been cast to this side, although the three of them were wearing ordinary clothes, and the second daughter was still wearing a hat, but Tianyao's face Yan Luoting knew it. He smiled and walked over to this side.

"Damn, I'll just buy a hat too......" Tianyao secretly regretted it in his heart, but on the surface, he forced out a smile and arched his hand: "Isn't this Brother Yan, I haven't seen you for a long time." "Yan Luoting's gang is too ostentatious, the people in the restaurant are looking this way, Tianyao doesn't want to reveal his identity.

Yan Luoting's eyes turned and he understood what Tianyao meant, so he cooperated and said, "Brother He, I haven't seen you for a long time." Who are these two?" In fact, he had already guessed in his heart that one of them must be Zhu Xiaomin, and the other one didn't know whether it was Tang Junhe or Hua Qingyu.

"Oh, it's the sister of the Hua family and the sister of the Zhu family. "Tianyao said.

"What a coincidence, why don't we sit at the same table and have a drink?" Before Tianyao could agree, Yan Luoting shouted to himself, "Little Er, let's fight a big table!"

Hua Qingyu hurriedly excused herself: "No need, we still have something to do, let's wait for the next time we get together." ”

"Hey, what's polite?" Yan Luoting grabbed Tianyao's sleeve, and the juniors behind him also pushed and shoved to prevent the three of them from leaving.

"People who can get acquainted with the Taiqing Sect don't cherish the opportunity, that kid is really a fool!" one of the drinkers whispered to the person next to him.

The person next to him also whispered: "The person from Taiqing Sect is really good cultivation and good demeanor, this is the real master's demeanor!"

"Now the Taiqing Sect is the number one sect for cultivating immortals, and I can worship my subordinates as well......" It seems that the ownership of the five immortal swords of the Shuzang Palace has given people a new view of the pattern of the immortal cultivation world in their hearts.

People started talking again, and the hotel was back to its former liveliness.

Although the voices of the two people just now were very small, the realm of the Ether Qing Sect was not difficult to hear at all. Yan Luoting smiled, and the words of praise from others were very useful to him.

Two tables and one table, Yan Luoting sat in the first place in the east, stretched out his hand to the three of Tianyao, and said politely: "Brother He, sit." The two younger sisters may also be seated. As a last resort, the three of them had to sit down.

Yan Luoting ordered a table of wine and food, and when the dishes were ready, he took a sip of wine and asked Tianyao in a low voice: "Senior brother, why did the three of you come down the mountain too?"

"Master asked us to find clues to the peerless immortal sword. "Of course, Tianyao will not say anything about looking for Tianxiao.

Yan Luoting was overjoyed: "That's right, let's go together and take care of each other." ”

"With our cultivation realm, it doesn't seem that we need to take care of anything, right? Besides, Senior Brother Yan, you are not much better than us!" Zhu Xiaomin was unceremonious.

Yan Luoting was not angry, and still smiled: "Haha, junior sister is really joking." If the whereabouts of the peerless immortal sword are discovered, the seniors in the sect will not be able to rush over immediately, wouldn't it be better for us to work together to get the sword first?"

Zhu Xiaomin felt helpless in his heart, Yan Luoting seemed to be getting thicker and thicker-skinned, he was still angry when he used to ridicule him, but now he doesn't seem to care at all.

"You guys actually went down the mountain to find Senior Brother Tianxiao, right?" Yan Luoting suddenly said. He's not stupid, it's just not used in a serious way.

The three were silent.

Yan Luoting knew that he had guessed correctly, and said with a smile: "More people are easier to do, and we will also help you." ”

With such a group of people following, it was not enough to worry about it, Tianyao hurriedly refused: "Thank you Senior Brother for your kindness, we are looking for someone just by the way, don't bother Senior Brother." Sister Qingyu, Xiaomin, let's go. The three of them got up and left the table without waiting for Yan Luoting to speak, but at this time, another group of people came up at the staircase.

These people were dressed in white robes and also carried sword holsters, and they seemed to be immortal cultivators of a certain sect, but they didn't recognize that shirt.

The eyes of the guests in the restaurant gathered on the stairs again, and it was rare to see so many immortal cultivators in normal times. After seeing the faces of those people clearly, many people's eyes lit up, there were five people in total, and they were all beautiful and lovely women.

One of the diners may have been staring too closely, drawing the anger of the first woman. "Look at it, look at it, and gouge out your eyes!" the woman snapped.

Everyone's eyes immediately turned back and continued to drink and chat. The woman's tone was too vicious to match her sweet looks.

The woman snorted coldly, looked around, and when she saw the purple clothes of these people from the Taiqing Sect, a bright smile suddenly bloomed on her face, and she shouted in a bone-chilling voice: "Senior Brother Yan!"
