The middle-aged man said in a clear voice, "Shuang'er, don't mess around" took two steps forward and pulled the little girl back.

The little girl pouted unrelentingly, pointed to the necklace on Guo'er's chest, and said angrily, "Daddy, the necklace that Shuang'er just said is that, she robbed her daughter's things"

Xu Yun, the steward of the Treasure Pavilion, heard the noise at the door, and immediately greeted him, and when he saw the middle-aged man, he immediately smiled and said, "Yo, this is not the Lu Hall Master of the Fire Refining Hall, how can you have time to come to the Treasure Pavilion today." ”

Lu Yan, a middle-aged man, responded, "It's rare to come to Longling once and accompany my daughter to the market." ”

Then he turned his gaze to Li Miao, hugged his fists and said, "Lu has seen a Taoist friend, but I don't know the name of Youzun, and what school he inherits"

"There is no door and no faction, a medium of scattered cultivation, Li Miao. ”

Li Miao said in a light tone, although he was a little helpless, he was not angry at the little girl's rudeness.

Lu Yan smiled and said, "Oh, it turned out to be Li Daoyou, the talented little girl was offended, I hope you will forgive me." ”

apologized first, and then said, "What the little girl said, Daoyou must have heard it, this girl likes that topaz necklace very much, and has quarreled with me several times, I don't know if you can consider cutting love"

If you cut something you love and give it away, how can you turn around and take it back and sell it

Li Miao didn't think about it, and shook his head directly, "Forgive me." ”

Lu Yan immediately added, "As long as Daoyou nods, Lu is willing to buy it at double the price."

Xu Yun in the store felt a slight pain in his heart when he heard this.

This time and again, the price difference directly rose by a hundred lower-grade spirit stones, which was worth the wealth accumulated by ordinary Ning Zhen monks for several years.

But Li Miao didn't mean to be moved at all, but became a little unhappy, and frowned, "Hall Master Lu, if I pay double the price for the gift you gave to your daughter, will you agree?"

This Lu Yan looks like he understands righteousness, but in fact, what he said is really to suppress people with power.

Paying a high price to buy when he is a mercenary businessman, or is he called Hanako

Being asked by Li Miao, Lu Yan's face stiffened, and he said embarrassedly, "This friend is serious, Lu has no intention of persecution, it's just"

Before he finished speaking, his daughter Lu Yingshuang shouted, "If you can't do twice, you will come out three times, and if you can't do three times, you will have four times Daddy, I will ask for that necklace."

At a young age, he vividly showed the four words of nonsense.

As a shopkeeper, Xu Yun didn't want to offend on either side, nor did he want to see two customers arguing in his shop, so he stood up and said, "Miss Lu, there are a lot of beautiful necklaces in our store, you can go to them and pick them one by one." ”

Lu Yingshuang ignored it, staring aggressively at the flowing heart on Guo'er's neck.

Guo'er didn't really like this necklace very much, and was more concerned about the golden scale that could make her strong.

But after being targeted twice so unceremoniously, a sense of annoyance also rose in my heart. The little hand grabbed the pendant of Chuanliuxin, held it tightly in the palm of his hand, snorted softly, and glared back at Lu Yingshuang.

It's a terrible stare.

Lu Yingshuang has been pampered since she was a child, and she has never suffered the slightest grievance, so she was so angry that she stomped her feet and said urgently, "Daddy, look at you, this wild girl is fierce to me, woo woo quickly help Shuang'er get the necklace back, that's my thing, don't touch it with other people's dirty hands"

The cosmic primordial energy continued to pour into Li Miao's body, transforming into primitive vitality, transforming his life structure bit by bit.

The two great battles of Qianyuanshan and Sun Mansion were a kind of oppression and an incentive for him.

As the original energy was absorbed, his strength began to grow at a speed that was recognizable to the naked eye, the blood flow increased slightly, and his muscles trembled slightly, as if he was cheering for growth.

Although it was not yet possible to break through to the middle level of the mountains and rivers at one time, comparable to the mid-stage cultivator of Ning Zhen, such a speed had already made Li Miao very happy.

He had a feeling that if he fought with people often, his strength should improve quickly. Coupled with the incomparably rich cosmic origin energy in this world, his cultivation speed would reach a very terrifying realm

In the past, it might have taken more than twenty years of penance to go from the mountain and river level to the sky level.

But now, he might be able to do it in three or four years

Once he stepped into the sky level, with the power of the genetic origin energy and the anti-heaven power of the galaxy holy body, even against the immortal cultivators in the late stage of the Shanggui Yuan Realm, he had a good chance of winning.

An afternoon passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was dark and it was night.

Li Miao was eager to become stronger, so he didn't waste much time, had dinner with Guo'er, warmed her body for her, and continued to devote himself to cultivation.

Liu Xuanfeng also entered a state of retreat, wanting to heal his injuries before the start of the competition and try to improve his strength.

Concubine Qi had already left the courtyard when it was dark and went to the inn where she was staying.

She didn't come to Longling alone, she also brought a few sisters from the Shaoyin Sect, and she couldn't stay here for a long time.

Time passed day by day. The town of Longling County is surging, and no less than five hundred immortal cultivators have gathered, and even many monks from outside Longling County have rushed here to join in the fun.

As the time of the competition approached, bits and pieces of news came.

Some small forces clashed with each other, and they couldn't control their emotions and fought, and many people were injured, resulting in the inability to participate in the competition.

There are also some small forces who have withdrawn from the competition for no reason, and they do not know whether they were bribed and persuaded to quit, or they were threatened by the strong and had to give up the opportunity.

What's more, the young master, who was expected to win an excellent ranking in the competition under the age of 30, died mysteriously in the nameless alley.

Longling has become an invisible Shura field, and the major forces are commensurate with friendly friends on the surface, but secretly they are intriguing and stumbling, and many people have become innocent victims, burying their young lives.

And all this is just a prelude to the beginning of the fight.

Li Miao hasn't been anywhere in the past few days, and has been immersed in a state of cultivation. Except for three meals a day to accompany Guo'er, most of the rest of the time is spent in practice.

Guo'er was very sensible, knowing that he would have to fight with many people soon, and he needed to consolidate his strength, so he obediently stayed in the courtyard and practiced by himself, without complaining at all.

These days, the small courtyard is not completely quiet.

There were a few hidden breaths outside the door of the small courtyard a few times, as if they wanted to come to inquire about the news. Li Miao deliberately released his momentum to startle those people back and didn't come in to disturb them.

During this period, Concubine Qi also came back once, saying that the sisters she brought were harassed by many monks, and they were completely unable to calm down to practice and prepare for the competition. After some consideration, they were all sent back to Wu'an Town, so as not to fall victim to the rise of the sect's power like those young people who died in vain in the deep alleys.

In this way, the Shaoyin Sect is equivalent to giving up the competition in the rookie group and can only participate in the competition of the strong.

Liu Xuanfeng's age was already forty years old, and he only looked young because of his higher cultivation. Concubine Qi, like him, seems to be young and beautiful, but in fact she has passed the thirty mark.

Li Miao is two years younger, just turning twenty-eight. However, he didn't want to participate in the rookie group competition and bully the strongest group of immortal cultivators who were only in the early stage of condensation.

The outcome of the rookie group is almost insignificant to the final prize distribution, and since he promised to help, he must help to the point, and he can't work in vain.

On the night of the fifth day, just after dinner, Li Miao was running the genetic energy as always, nourishing Guo'er's body.

Guo'er sat in front of him without saying a word, allowing him to send the power of the original energy to every corner of his body, without the slightest resistance, only trust.

Suddenly, her little pink face froze, and then a look of ecstasy appeared.

In the darkness, it was as if a wave of energy had passed away.

"Me"

Guo'er opened her mouth and spat out a syllable.

Li Miao hadn't heard her speak for many days, and he hadn't seen her smile like this for a long time, so he couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong, what's so happy?"

The little girl was overjoyed, her eyebrows and eyes smiled, and for the first time in history, she pushed away his hand that transmitted the original energy, got up and pounced forward, and hugged him.

"I can, I've practiced"

Xiao Nizi finally spoke after many days and whispered in his ear. His voice trembled, his emaciated shoulders trembled slightly, and a mist floated in his big bright eyes.

You can cultivate

Li Miao was stunned when he heard this, and he was immediately overjoyed.

"Great"

After more than 20 days of original energy nourishment, he finally helped her complete the process of building the foundation, and shaped a stepping stone for this thin and delicate little girl to embark on the road of cultivating immortals

"Our efforts have not been in vain, you can become a strong man in no time," Li Miao said with joy.

"Uh-huh"

Guo'er put her arms around his neck and said in a trembling voice, "I can protect myself." Master's wish will also come true. ”

Xuan Zhenzi has two wishes, one is to make Guo'er an immortal cultivator, and the other is to revitalize the mountain gate of Zhongyun Mountain.

Now that the first one is within reach, the second, perhaps, is not too far away.

Li Miao was sincerely happy, and forgot what to say for a while.

Guo'er wiped the water gushing out of the corners of her eyes due to excitement, and said to him, "Thank you, Li Miao." I'll protect you in the future. ”

As soon as he let go of his arms, he let go, sat back on the ground, and put on a posture of cultivation.

Look, I was going to start practicing the Reincarnation Lotus Blossom Method directly.

"Eh, don't yet"

Li Miao was a little uneasy, and wanted to interrupt her and ask her to wait until her mood calmed down before she started trying.

But Guo'er didn't give him a chance to interrupt, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he began to absorb the aura of heaven and earth around him.

The little girl had been very eager to practice for a long time, and the scripture secretary of the Reincarnation Lotus Blossom Mystic Method had already been familiar with it by heart, and she didn't know how many times she had practiced the cultivation process in her head.

Now that she has finally completed the path of foundation building and touched the threshold of true cultivation, the first time she started to practice, she became as if she was familiar with it, and directly entered the state of concentration.

Li Miao was worried that something would happen to her, so she didn't dare to leave too far, so she sat quietly next to her.

Soon, wisps of heaven and earth aura surged from all directions, converging towards that petite body.

"What a strong sense of gas"

Feeling the aura of heaven and earth suddenly thickened around him, Li Miao couldn't help but be moved.

Ji Lingyu was like a few treasures, and said slowly, and Li Miao was dumbfounded when he heard it.

Even Xuan Zhenzi didn't know about these things, and she actually told them in one breath

"How do you know so much," he couldn't help but ask.

Ji Lingyu smiled mysteriously, picked another pear, threw it to him casually, and said with a light smile: "Who do you think I am, I am the only true disciple of Taoxian, there are few things in the world that I don't know." ”

Who is the peach fairy?

Li Miao held the jerky pear, his face full of doubts.

Ji Lingyu shook his head and said helplessly, "Your Dongtu cultivator's vision is really too low, even my master doesn't know, it's pointless to tell you this, I came here tonight, mainly to see the person who caused the aura abnormality." I met your girl and felt very interested in discussing something with you. ”

"What's the matter" Li Miao immediately became vigilant and said, "If you want to take Guo'er away, I won't agree." ”

Ji Lingyu looked at him suspiciously, puzzled, "What is the relationship between you and that girl, I don't think you are like a father and daughter, why do you care about her so much?"

If it were someone else, he would have bowed down in front of the Xuantong powerhouse. But he is neither humble nor arrogant, and even has a not light guarded heart. And all of this seems to be because of that talented little girl. The reason for this is really unpredictable for Ji Lingyu.

Li Miao doesn't know what the relationship between himself and Guo'er is, they are not related, and they have only known each other for less than a month.

But all kinds of encounters during this period have made them the most trusting people in each other.

Li Miao said firmly: "In short, I will not let anyone take her away or hurt her." ”

Ji Lingyudai's eyebrows frowned slightly.

She really wanted to take Guo'er away, because this girl's talent was so good that even she, the personal disciple of the Peach Blossom Fairy, couldn't help but be moved, and wanted to teach a few extraordinary skills.

But Li Miao's attitude influenced her decision.

"Don't you want her to become stronger," Ji Lingyu asked.

"Absolutely. Li Miao said without hesitation, "But you also said that the Reincarnation Lotus Blossom Method is an extremely remarkable exercise handed down from ancient times, and with this, I think it is enough." ”

"No, it's not enough. ”

Ji Lingyu vetoed him and said, "A real strong person is definitely not only strong in cultivating the exercises. Secret arts, magic weapons, peerless learning, recuperation of the primordial spirit, enlightenment of the law, and even spiritual wisdom are all indispensable. If she follows you, she may appear strong in a short time. But think about it for yourself, what you can teach her, the skills you have learned may not be suitable for her, when you walk out of the small land of Pangshan County, walk out of Longquan Mansion, and see the wider sky. You'll find out that you've delayed her badly. ”

She looked at Li Miao without squinting, her tone was very serious, and her attitude was also very sincere.

Li Miao was silent when he heard this.

He knew that what Ji Lingyu said was right. A truly strong person is indeed not something that can be supported by just one mental method.

Just like himself, if he only had the heart of the universe, then at most, he would only be able to defeat the immortal cultivators of the same realm with a strong physical foundation, and it would be impossible to defeat Liu Xuanfeng in the middle stage of Ning Zhen, and he would be able to maneuver among the large number of monsters in Qianyuan Mountain.
