Chapter 42: High as Nothing
In the cave of the two peaks where Yin Qin was, Yin Xiaoxiao was already dressed and was quietly sorting out her bag. In her hand, there is a long bluestone in the shape of a strip, which she walked around as soon as the heavy rain stopped, and finally found a "weapon" in her hand.
Yin Xiaoxiao has an embroidered sword for female cultivators, which Yin Tieshan specially created for her, which can be used not only by mortals, but also by monks in the late stage of Qi refining. However, Yin Xiaoxiao doesn't like it, it doesn't feel like it's fluttering in his hand, and it's better to pick up a stone casually.
In the middle of the night, everyone heard a noise coming from the distant mountains. Elder Yan said that it was the nocturnal high-level demon beasts biting and fighting each other, and they had extinguished the flames at the entrance of the cave and the small flame ball for lighting early.
Everyone hid in the dark. Yin Xiaoxiao has been worried. She had never been far away, and for the first time she had seen the horror of the wasteland, she couldn't imagine how terrifying the high-level demon beasts were, and the sound of their battle could be heard from such a distance. In case Brother Yin Qin encounters a similar demon beast outside, can he escape back safely?
Before dawn, Yin Xiaoxiao began to get busy, and she stayed all night, which made her both worried and a little afraid. But the three brothers snorted and slept soundly, which made her feel a little angry.
Suddenly, Elder Yan, who had been meditating in the dark, opened his eyes, and as if sensing something, he picked up the folding fan beside him and got up gently.
Elder Yan's folding fan is a low-level magic weapon, and the fan bone is refined from the ribs of the second-level demon beast wasteland green wolf, which is sharper than an ordinary sword, and with spiritual power, it can easily cut a huge stone with a height of a few feet into two like cutting tofu.
"What's wrong?" didn't wait for Yin Xiaoxiao to speak, but Yin Gongchou, who had been "sleeping", asked first.
Yin Gongyin, who was beside him, also sat up: "What did Elder Yan hear?"
Yin Xiaoxiao looked at the three brothers in surprise, Yin Gongzi was snoring loudly just now, and at this moment, he even picked up a thick-backed machete, with a solemn expression.
"You're all pretending to be asleep?!" Yin Xiaoxiao whispered.
"Someone is coming!" Elder Yan listened intently for a moment, and asked everyone to quickly organize their things and prepare for evacuation.
"What if it's Brother Yin Qin?" Yin Xiao's things have already been packed up.
Elder Yan shook his head and said, "It's four people, and the cultivation is not under me." "In the wasteland, compared to the ferocious demon beasts, the strange monk who sneaks up is the most terrifying threat.
A heart-pounding feeling made Elder Yan's expression heavy, he took out a jade bottle, poured out a pill the size of a bean grain from it, and swallowed it. This is the Qi Gathering Pill, which can speed up the speed of the spiritual power of the monk, and the monk often takes some similar pills beforehand when he is in danger.
The Qi Gathering Pill is a low-level spirit pill, which can be used by Qi refining cultivators, the price is not cheap, one costs three or five low-level spirit stones, and Elder Yan swallowed the grain that Yin Tieshan gave him privately before leaving, just in case.
"Let's go! Drill into the forest, everyone disperse, walk slowly, be careful not to make any movement!" Elder Yan took the four little guys and walked out of the cave lightly, and plunged into the dark mountain forest.
Gao Ruoxu ran on the undulating mountain road, and his toes could jump out more than ten zhang away with a slight tap of his toes, and with his wide robe sleeves, he really had a bit of fluttering posture.
There was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, he had worked hard for the Yin family for decades, and he was finally about to come out.
Gao Ruoxu was an outer disciple of Jiuyou Mountain Villa in his early years, although his qualifications were not excellent, but he was also the best spiritual root of two yang, one yin and three golden roots, and he was helped by a water spiritual root, and his innate qualifications were even better than Yin Tieshan, the current head of the Yin family. Coupled with the fact that he was backed by the sect and did not lack the secrets of the exercises, he cultivated to the middle stage of qi refining in his twenties.
Seeing that he is expected to build a foundation before the age of forty and become an inner disciple, Gao Ruoxu is also fluttering and does not know how to converge. I don't want him to get carried away and violate the forbidden law of the sect, although he was upheld by the teacher and exempted from the punishment of dispersion, he was still driven out of the sect and was not allowed to return to the sect for life.
Gao Ruoxu wandered in the ruins and wasteland for more than half a year, and finally realized what it feels like to be a lost dog. He originally thought that with his talent, even if he lost the protection of the sect, he would be able to hunt demon beasts in the sword wasteland and break a way.
The actual situation is that he only knows how to concentrate on cultivation in the sect, and almost all of his energy is focused on how to quickly improve the spiritual root, although he has also learned some spells for combat, but he has no concept of how to use them and when to use them.
The lack of actual combat experience has become his weakness. As a result, a monk in the middle stage of Qi refining was targeted by several barbarian cultivators in the early stage of Qi refining, and was blocked in a secluded valley in the wasteland.
Thanks to the hunting team of the Yin family, they happened to pass by and rescued him. That time, the Yin family led the team by Yin Tiecheng, and after some conversations, Gao Ruoxu became the guest elder of the Yin family.
The Yin family values the background of Gao Ruoxu's great sect, although it is limited to the forbidden laws of the sect, Gao Ruoxu can't teach the secret books of the exercises of the Nine Secluded Villa privately, but after being mixed in the big sect for so many years, his vision is there. Instructing juniors on how to practice is naturally more effective and reasonable than those who practice in the wilderness.
Gao Ruoxu hopes to use the power of the Yin family to help him advance and build a foundation. Who knew that after a few decades, Gao Ruoxu was disappointed, although the Yin family was known as the first immortal cultivator family in Xiaocang Mountain, the resources they had were too limited. The supply of the three foundation-building monks of the Yin family is still insufficient, so how can they tilt their resources towards him, a person with a foreign surname?
But apart from the Yin family, where can Gao Ruoxu go to? The seven major sects have a tacit understanding between them, and they will never recruit outcasts from other sects, except for the seven major sects, the various small and medium-sized immortal cultivation families are not much better than the Yin family.
Gao Ruoxu has been in the Yin family for decades, and he will also cultivate to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, but it is even more difficult to advance to build a foundation than to ascend to the sky. Just when he was discouraged, an opportunity fell from the sky.
Qi refining cultivator Shou Yuan is slightly longer than mortals, Yin Tiecheng is over seventy years old, and his longevity is not much, if he wants to prolong his life, he can only impact the foundation. This old man is also ruthless, and he actually colluded with the Zhao family and the Li family to sell the Yin family, and the price was only a Zhuji Dan jointly provided to him by the Zhao family and the Li family.
A sneer of disdain flashed on Gao Ruoxu's face, even if he took the Zhuzhu Ji Dan with his qualification of the three golden roots to get the help of the water roots, he was only less than sixty percent sure that he would be able to build the foundation. Yin Tiecheng, a miscellaneous spirit root that lacks one of the five elements, dares to attack the foundation with delusional thoughts?
The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind. Claiming to be a yellow bird, he carefully sent people under the fence for decades, and summed up the most important survival rule in the wilderness, that is, you can't compete for the first place in trouble, and safety is the most important.
