In the first month, spring has already begun, but Heshuo County, located in the northwest, is still full of snowflakes and is cold and biting.

However, this kind of cold only has an effect on ordinary people, and for martial artists above the fourth order, it is only a slight discomfort, and it does not affect cultivation and daily life.

Early in the morning, Luo Xiao went to the Shenglong Pagoda and replaced the red belt with a black belt. The assessment process is certainly quite difficult for ordinary red belt disciples, but for a mid-level Xuanwu warrior, it is also a matter?

It only took half a year for Luo Xiao to jump from the second order to the "fifth order", especially from the fourth order to the fifth order, it only took more than three months, which sounded quite scary, but this time Luo Xiao was not worried about arousing suspicion, because just last month, Cheng Feilong had already sent the ten lower-grade spirit stones arranged in advance to Luo Xiao of the Xiuwu Hall as a thank you gift.

At that time, there were many onlookers, and I don't know how many eyeballs have dropped. It wasn't until this time that everyone knew why the City Guard Mansion would send an invitation to Luo Xiao, it turned out that this lucky guy had done such a big thing when he went out on a mission for the first time.

Suddenly there were ten more lower-grade spirit stones in his hand, and Luo Xiao suddenly became the most popular person in the Xiuwu Hall, I don't know how many student disciples and even deacons and deacons would talk to him if they had anything to do, and the words were all the same meaning, "sell or not"?

You must know that even if it is a core child of one of the three major families of Yishui like Wu Junyan, the annual ration of spirit stones is only about this amount.

Of course, Luo Xiao would not take these mere spirit stones in his eyes, but the purpose of his high-profile gift was not to make himself a high-profile figure, but to make what happened to him next logical. So he needs these spirit stones as shields, and even if he can't block them, at least half of them must be left.

So, in the end, Luo Xiao changed hands on five spirit stones and exchanged them for a bunch of cultivation resources that were very ordinary but definitely had "growth potential". With the remaining five lower-grade spirit stones and a bunch of resources, it will be upgraded to another level within a month, although it is still a little faster, but at least it is not so shocking.

In the eyes of others, Luo Xiao's cultivation speed was already terrifying, but only he understood in his heart that he was actually very slow. Since he was promoted to a warrior, more than two months have passed, and according to his insistence on cultivating in the Immortal Stone Cave Heaven for two hours every day (he could only last one hour before, but after being tempered by Hongliu Town, it has now doubled), which is equivalent to more than ten years of penance. After cultivating in such a blessed place for more than ten years, even if the qualifications are poor, you can jump to the Vermilion Bird Warrior and even the White Tiger Warrior.

However, Luo Xiao is still only a mid-level Xuanwu, and he is still a little short of the Vermilion Bird Warrior.

There are three main reasons for this: one is that Luo Xiao's Yuan Core is too large, and it is very difficult to concentrate and purify, just like the Yuan Seed Core when he was a martial artist, no matter how good the conditions are, the time spent is actually no less than others. The second is that it is too difficult for him to choose the Shadow of the Wind Mystery to cultivate, the consumption is serious, and he has not achieved it for a long time, if he had chosen martial arts or other mysteries, he would have achieved it a long time ago.

The last and most important reason is that because of the last experiment to activate the mysterious stone gate, because he was too involved, he almost drained his spiritual power, causing the spirit buds to shrink sharply and almost fade back into the spirit seed. After this period of slow recuperation, he has barely recovered to his original state now - equivalent to the previous two months of white practice.

Spirit Leaf, Body Footwork, Purification Yuan Force, the three standards of the Vermilion Bird Warrior, Luo Xiao has not achieved any of them, how can he advance?

It is true that you can far surpass your peers in your achievements, but you must also pay more time, energy, resources and efforts than others. Fortunately, there is an immortal stone cave with an amazing time deficit, otherwise Luo Xiao really doesn't know if he will have a chance to reach that legendary realm in this life.

Luo Xiao was sighing and stepping down the Shenglong Tower, and a male disciple ran in front of him, it can be seen that this disciple's family background is not good, and he doesn't have a cloak on a cold day, and the cyan tie around his waist also proves this - in a place like Xiuwutang, where resources are supreme, as long as the family background is acceptable, no one over the age of sixteen is still a green belt, and the male disciple in front of him is obviously more than sixteen, and it is possible to say seventeen or eighteen.

"Luo ...... Brother Luo. The male disciple ran in front of Luo Xiao and bowed a little crampedly.

"You seem familiar...... Yes, you're the guy who often hangs out with Pan Yang and Blackskin. Luo Xiao remembered that when he first encountered Pan Yang and the Black Skin gang blackmailing Duan Qinglan's Flesh Spirit Stone, this guy was also one of them.

"Hehe, Senior Brother Luo has good eyes. My name is Huang Qi. The guy rubbed his hands together and laughed a little awkwardly.

Luo Xiao looked at the other party lightly: "What are you looking for me?"

"It's Pan Shao, please. Huang Qi raised his hand and pointed to a place in the bamboo forest in the distance, "Pan Shao and you have an appointment to fight in the martial arts arena, I don't know if Senior Brother Luo dares to fight?"

......

Wudoutai, a place to repair martial arts to resolve grievances. In fact, this is a large gray-white round platform made of long boulders, surrounded by a large bamboo forest. If you sit under the bamboo sprout in the summer, enjoy the cool breeze while watching the disciples on the stage, it has always been one of the few pastimes for the disciples of the Xiuwutang.

In the past three years, Luo Xiao has also been a member of the entertainment crowd, but he has never been on stage. It's not that he has good popularity and no grievances, but that Xiuwutang has regulations, and disciples below the yellow belt are not qualified to come to power. Because the disciples below the Yellow Belt are not even qualified to learn martial arts, they can only cultivate basic fists and feet. Such a level of fighting can only be regarded as a fight, not a fight at all, and it is a waste of everyone's time to let a dignified samurai-level deacon arbitrate.

Luo Xiao has been very busy since he was promoted to Yellow Belt, and he basically doesn't come here, and even if he has a grudge, he can't hold a martial arts platform - Deacon Tan Liu's grievances with him are big enough, and the final place of ending is not in this martial arts platform, but in the wilderness under Longyuan Mountain.

Pan Yang's appointment was the first time Luo Xiao had received a challenge, but this challenge made Luo Xiao want to laugh, especially when he saw Pan Yang with a red belt around his waist and his hair tied up into a high ponytail, like a proud rooster, he finally laughed: "I said Pan Xue...... Brother, do you really want to fulfill your promise and challenge me?"

Luo Mang...... Brother, you can see clearly. Liu Heida, who was beside Pan Yang, jumped out and shouted, "Senior Brother Pan is also a red belt now, on the same level as you, according to the rules of the hall, the elder is a brother, and you should be called Senior Brother Pan." ”

"Yes. Luo Xiao seemed to have just seen it, and his gaze turned to Pan Yang's waist, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth,

"This battle, which has been delayed for half a year, can finally be realized today. Pan Yang looked at the snowflakes falling in the sky, and the whole person seemed to be chic, "Fighting in the snow is not too fast!"

"Senior Brother Pan is full of pride, today's battle will definitely be an eye-opener for us!" As a familiar voice sounded, many disciples of the Martial Arts Hall who had come to observe in the snow also cheered loudly.

Luo Xiao's eyes flashed, and he recognized that this red-belted disciple had seen it in the City Guard Mansion, it seemed that it was called Xiao Mo, and he was not far from Meng and followed the black strong disciple, it was the Lihu who had wanted to wrestle with him...... Suddenly, as if he felt something, the corners of Luo Xiao's eyes swept obliquely, and his gaze met the eyes of a brocade-robed young man who was standing quietly under the withered bamboo not far away.

The other party bowed his head slightly and smiled - the fifth son of the Wu family, Zhong Yan of the Dragon and Tiger Society, Wu Junyan.

Luo Xiao indifferently retracted his gaze and turned to the martial arts platform, but at some point, a deacon was already standing on the stage, looking uncertain, and said loudly: "Which two disciples are about to fight? Hurry up and finish the work...... On this cold day, I don't want to find the right time to move. ”

I saw Pan Yang striding closer, his eyes sharp, and said, "It's boring to fight, why not gamble?"

Luo Xiao sighed and raised his eyebrows: "How are you going to bet?"

"A medium-grade flesh spirit stone. Pan Yang sucked Luo Xiao's eyes tightly, "How about it?"

Luo Xiao instantly understood that Pan Yang's challenge was no accident, it seemed that someone had become suspicious and was playing with some ideas. If he responds, he will expose something, and if he doesn't, he will weaken his momentum...... It's just that no matter who wants to make up your mind, the calculation is doomed to fail.

Luo Xiao didn't answer and asked, "Do you remember what I told you?"

"What words. Pan Yang looked at Luo Xiao with a playful look, and a trace of bad feeling passed through his heart.

"Don't keep me waiting. ”

"Haven't I already caught up...... Pan Yang's face darkened, clasped the red belt around his waist, and signaled to Luo Xiao angrily, however, Luo Xiao's next action made him turn into a snowman all of a sudden, and his voice stopped abruptly.

Luo Xiao leisurely lifted the cloak and showed the buckle around his waist.

Snow pure white.

With black shiny.

Brightened Pan Yang's eyes.
