Chapter 13: Preparing to Go
In the blink of an eye, it has been two months since Xiaozhu's arrival. Early in the morning, after Xingchen finished the cultivation of "Shuiyuan Washing Pulse Formula", he came to the courtyard, and as soon as he walked to the coral table, he saw that the tea had been brewed on the table, and Xiaozhu was standing next to the coral table.
Seeing Xingchen come out, Xiaozhu skillfully picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Xingchen.
Since two months ago, when Xingchen obtained the last three layers of the Dao Heart Song, he had changed his cultivation habits.
In the evening, he studied the "Pharmacopoeia of All Things", and in the morning, he first practiced the "Shui Yuan Washing Pulse Formula" in the quiet room for an hour, and then went to the courtyard to practice the fourth level of the "Dao Heart Song". How difficult it is to suppress the space with the phantom sound channel, and the stars have no clue about the phantom sound range for two months. However, after two months of training, his flute skills have improved a lot, and he began to have a sense of naturalness.
From the very beginning, within two days, Xiaozhu figured out Xingchen's cultivation habits. Every time Xingchen finished cultivating, she would see Xiaozhu, and she had already prepared all the items.
Coming to the coral table, Xingchen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said, "Sister Xiaozhu, in fact, you don't have to be like this. You can do something of your own. ”
Xiaozhu was a little confused when she heard Xingchen's words, when Xingchen was there before, she was serving Xingchen with her whole body and mind. After the disappearance of the stars, she devoted all her time to searching. Now, when she meets the stars again, she doesn't know what else she can do except wait for the stars.
Xiaozhu didn't speak, Xingchen had to change the topic, "If you don't practice the flute today, Sister Xiaozhu, you can come and practice swordsmanship with me!" He casually handed one of the swords with a whole body of turquoise to Xiaozhu.
Xiaozhu took the sword, looked at it carefully, and said, "Young master, what is this sword called, it seems to be different from what I use on weekdays." ”
Xingchen looked at the sword and replied, "This is my trophy in the spiritual world, it is called the Biyu Sword, it is a flying sword. ”
Xiao Zhu held the sword and played with it, "Is it the kind of flying sword that can fly around on its own?" When she heard Concubine Ming tell it before, she was interested in this strange flying sword.
Seeing Xiaozhu's excited appearance, Xingchen suddenly had an idea that maybe he could teach Xiaozhu flying swordsmanship. The flying sword technique was perfected by his own research, and it was not limited by oaths. Moreover, Xiaozhu has already cultivated to the apex of his own bloodline, and it is impossible to go further in cultivation, maybe he can teach it, so Xingchen asked, "Sister Xiaozhu, do you want to learn flying swordsmanship." ”
Xiaozhu looked at Xingchen and asked her to learn flying swordsmanship, of course she was willing, but she remembered the silent words and put away her thoughts, "Young master, Xiaozhu is eighteen years old, and she can't learn it." ”
Hearing Xiaozhu's words, Xingchen laughed, "You listened to what you said silently, right? It's okay, that's what I used to excuse Brother Feng." Come, I'll teach you the basic tricks, I'll revise the flying sword tricks today, and you'll give it to you tomorrow. ”
Ah, hearing Xingchen's explanation, Xiaozhu was stunned, the age limit was used to deceive Young Master Feng. In this way, when Xiaozhu was stunned, Xingchen transmitted the basic method to her sea of consciousness and asked her to practice and try it.
Xiaozhu, who recovered, felt the magic in this sea of consciousness and cultivated on the spot. Because she has some strength herself, she quickly opened up her dantian. Because of this, Xingchen couldn't see what Xiaozhu's spiritual talent was.
At this time, a thin old man, led by the guards, came here. As soon as he entered the door, Xingchen recognized it, it was Uncle Ying, and the other party came over at this time, and there was only one thing, he was about to go. But isn't there nearly half a month left?
The two met and exchanged polite words before they began to talk about business, and sure enough, as Xingchen's conjecture, they were about to set off. Uncle Ying personally escorted a jade slip this time. The jade slip contains basic information about the Forest of Dreams.
After sending Yu Jian, he told Xingchen to leave in three days, and after doing these two things, Uncle Ying set off to leave.
It's finally time to go, and Xingchen is a little emotional.
Xiaozhu on the side stopped practicing, and hurriedly walked outside the courtyard, saying as he walked, "I'll call Miss Ming." Although he received the basic spiritual method, Xiaozhu was excited, but he still did not forget his duty.
Seeing this scene, Xingchen didn't say much and began to check the jade slip. After a while, Xingchen called out to one of the guards and ordered, "Go and check the treasury and make a detailed roster for me." ”
The guards took the order. Not long after, Concubine Ming arrived, and Xingchen handed her the jade slip.
After Concubine Ming finished reading it, she smiled and said, "This Forest of Illusion Dreams is really peculiar, just entering it, you need a lot of spiritual materials. Xingchen, you're going to break the bank. ”
Xingchen smiled helplessly.
The next day, Xingchen transmitted the modified flying sword technique to Xiaozhu, and then took the roster to the treasury to extract spiritual materials. After a check, I found that some things could not be put together. Do you want to go to the Treasure House to buy it again?
Just as the stars were deciding, a guest came. This guest was the captain of the guard who was guarding Yang Xin'er, and he brought a ring, saying that it was given by the city lord Yang. After saying that, he left the ring and left.
Xingchen checked the ring and found that it contained all the spiritual materials needed for the trip to the Forest of Dreams. Looking at these spiritual materials, Xingchen had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know what to say.
He himself had only helped Yang Xin'er in the trial of mountains and seas, and Yang Xin'er was only the righteous daughter of the Yang City Lord. City Lord Yang helped himself like this. First recommended himself to be the commander of the army of this Chengtian Island, as well as this commander's mansion, and he later learned that one of the materials was allocated by the city lord's mansion, and the specifications were one level higher than the commander's mansion of other islands. The consul's mansions on the other islands are all two-fold courtyards, and the scale is not large. The accompanying circle is not as good as his.
Although I don't know now, where did City Lord Yang know that he needed these things, the other party actually prepared all the items and sent them to him. Looks like I should pay a visit. As for the thanksgiving gift, City Lord Yang definitely didn't look down on his own things. But this did not bother Xingchen, after a little searching, Xingchen prepared a gift box, sealed the selected items in it, and carried the gift box to the city lord's mansion.
Fortunately, the City Lord's Mansion was adjacent to his Commander's Mansion, and Xingchen didn't go far before he came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
The guards at the door knew the stars, but they only passed it on and did not stop it.
When he came to the hall, Xingchen didn't see Yang City Lord, so he waited here for a while. After a while, a small man came to entertain the stars. This little person is Yang Xin'er.
From Yang Xin'er's mouth, Xingchen learned that City Lord Yang had left yesterday to carry out a secret operation.
It doesn't matter if City Lord Yang is not there, Xingchen handed over the gift box and handed it to Yang Xin'er. In this gift box, there are things for Yang Xin'er. Xingchen had planned to do so, and only in this way could he express his gratitude.
Inside the gift box is a mini red tassel gun and a jade slip. Inside the jade slip is the basic imperial weapon method, and the surface of the magic method is set by the stars to make a heavenly oath. Once Yang Xin'er made an oath, this recipe could only be used by herself and could not be passed on. Although this was only a basic imperial weapon technique, after all, it was a product of the spiritual world, and the loot he obtained from the Demon Heart Sect must not be widely spread.
When Yang Xin'er got the jade slip, she could naturally feel the heavenly oath on it, so she looked at the stars.
Xingchen explained: "This is one of the basic methods of my master's sect, and if it cannot be widely spread, I will make a heavenly oath. This technique has been successfully cultivated, and you can fly in the sky at any time with the help of this red tassel spear. ”
Yang Xin'er was a little pleased, "At any time, can it be said that it is okay not to enter the innate." ”
Xingchen nodded, Yang Xin'er jumped up excitedly, and immediately swore according to the heavenly oath set by Xingchen. After she obtained the basic imperial weapon, the jade slip shattered and turned into flying ashes.
Seeing Yang Xin'er's excited appearance, Xingchen didn't stay longer and left.
For the remaining two days, Xingchen didn't have anything else to do, just practiced as usual.
Soon two days passed, and Xingchen and Concubine Ming went to Zhongtian City together. Xiaozhu wanted to follow, but was rejected by Xingchen. She had just obtained the Flying Sword Technique, and it was the time to cultivate diligently, so she couldn't follow it. Moreover, if Xiao Zhu followed, he would inevitably let Han Feng know that there was no age limit for cultivating flying sword arts, and it would be bad at that time.
It's not that Xingchen doesn't want to teach it, the new flying sword technique is created by Xingchen himself after combining the three kinds of flying swords, coupled with his own understanding of sword intent, and can be taught to Han Feng. But after all, it was inconvenient to teach at that time, and a lie was told. Now, if Han Feng knew that the age limit was a lie, it would affect the relationship between the two of them.
Han Feng, who was waiting in Zhongtian City at this time, didn't know what Xingchen was thinking at this time. If he knew, he would have jumped out and told Xingchen that he didn't mind. Practicing flying swordsmanship was his childhood dream before he crossed over, and he would care about this little bit, but unfortunately there was no if in this world.
When the two stars entered Zhongtian Island, a palm-sized gadget appeared in front of them.
The gadget is spherical in shape, blue-gold throughout, with large eyes on the front and thin cicada-like wings on either side. Seeing this gadget, although Xingchen was vigilant, he did not immediately break it.
At this moment, Xu Boshan's voice came from the gadget, "Xingchen, come directly to the east gate." ”
This is actually Xu Boshan's thing, how come I have never seen it. Even Concubine Ming, who came from the Ji family, didn't know what this gadget was.
After playing Xu Boshan's voice, this gadget suddenly turned its head and flew away in one direction, without any sound when flying. Xingchen looked at the distance that this gadget flew out of, and calculated that its speed was no less than that of an ordinary innate master.
He was thinking about it, when Concubine Ming on the side reminded, "Xingchen, let's follow." Following this little guy, we can directly find Xu Boshan and them. ”
Xingchen had no choice but to stop being surprised and nodded.
The two men who stopped in mid-air immediately followed, and soon flew behind the gadget. Although both of them flew faster than the gadget, neither of them increased their speed.
Not long after, Xingchen saw a large ship floating outside the east gate of Zhongtian City from a distance. When it finally arrived, Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief when the gadget flying in front of him fell. When this happens, the gadget only drops a little distance. With a casual move, Xingchen took the gadget into his hand. Then he flew on the floating ship with Concubine Ming.
When he came to the floating boat, Xu Boshan greeted him and said with a smile: "Xingchen, you are finally here, I am still worried that the pathfinder elf will run out of energy halfway and will be in trouble if I can't be notified." ”
It turned out that the gadget was called a pathfinder elf, and Xingchen handed it to Xu Boshan, "The energy is indeed exhausted, but it has only just been exhausted." ”
Seeing Xu Boshan accept it, Xingchen asked, "Brother Boshan, where did you get this thing?" It's so strange!"
Xu Boshan smiled: "Actually, it's thanks to your recommendation. If you hadn't recommended Han Feng, there might not have been this thing. The idea of this thing is Han Feng's, in fact, it also has a photo function. I'll show you. Xu Boshan was talking, taking Xingchen and Concubine Ming to the deck on the side, and a silver-white box was placed on it. The silver-white box was opened, and what came into view was a row of ten grooves. Underneath the recess are two rows of buttons, and on the lid is a crystal display.
Xu Boshan put the pathfinder elf in his hand on the vacant groove, and streams of spiritual air appeared and merged into the pathfinder elf. He continued, "I told me in detail about Han Feng's idea to the best refiner in the Xu family's refining workshop, and it took two months to come out with five boxes of finished products. I gave two of the boxes to my father, who was very optimistic about this thing and was no longer angry with me about the Dream Forest slot. I even invited Han Feng to be a guest at my house, and now Han Feng is still talking to my father in the courtyard of the Xu family's house. ”
At this time, a voice came, "Who said I was talking to my uncle, didn't I come?" ”
Xingchen turned around and saw a figure flying quickly.
