In the night, a figure with a little green shimmer crept into the hidden stronghold of the shadow house.
“Who is it?”
There was a flash of a figure in front of him, and Zhang Xuanji appeared before him with his hand squeezing a seal and his palm holding thunder and lightning.
“It’s you.” Seeing the figure of the visitor, Zhang Xuanji dispersed his thunder magic and said, “I had not expected that you would still be proficient in the technique of absorbing earth veins.”
Just now, Zhang Xuanji was studying Zhang Xuanlian’s True Elixir when he suddenly felt the flow of earth qi in the stronghold, which was very abnormal, and thought it was an enemy above him, so he went out to respond to the enemy.
Only he did not expect that the person who caused the earth qi to move differently was actually Qing Yu.
“I know a little.” Qing Yu waved his hand to disperse the earth essence and stopped to heal his wounds.
During the daytime, Qing Yu had already suffered wounds caused by Xuan Ming, and this night, he fought with two corpse scatterers, so his injuries showed signs of worsening.
Although they were not as powerful as before after becoming Corpse Scatterers, they were after all old monsters and still put a lot of pressure on Qing Yu.
Therefore, on his way back, Qing Yu took in the earth essence on foot to heal himself.
“Zhang Xuanlian’s True Pill, how is the research going?” Qing Yu asked.
“Very well.”
When it came to the True Elixir, Zhang Xuanji put aside his doubts about Qing Yu’s intake of earth essence and spoke with gusto.
It could be seen that the second half of the “Nine Cauldrons Dan Sutra” was so tempting to Zhang Xuanji that even a cold man like him had a smile on his face at this moment.
But this smile turned into a greater desire, “The ancestors of Mount Longhu had never thought that someone would use the patterns on the real pills to deduce the formula. I have already deduced the nature of the dan qi of one elixir, and it seems that I can deduce three more so far.
But this is far from enough, I need more, more true dans ——”
“But this is obviously impossible, there are more True Dan realm experts, yes, but not so many that they are at your disposal to study. If we capture too many True Dan realm disciples from Mount Longhu, I’m afraid that Grand Master Zhang will go crazy.” Qing Yu poured a pot of cold water directly on Zhang Xuanji’s head.
A mad Zhang Tian Shi, tsk tsk, I’m afraid no one in this world would be willing to face it. Even the rampaging ‘Blade God’ would not be willing to mess with Heavenly Master Zhang just to study a small True Pill.
“You’re right.” Zhang Xuanji also calmed down.
Growing up in Mount Longhu, Zhang Xuanji could better understand the terror of a Heavenly Master, so in order to still have a life to continue studying the Dao of Dan, Zhang Xuanji did not hesitate to give up on the tempting idea of staring at the True Dan realm of Mount Longhu to capture.
“In that case, you continue your research. I’ll go and rest first.”
Qing Yu turned towards his room with interest, and as he walked, a faint green light began to appear once again.
The “Earth Buster Technique” of the “Supreme Technique of Heaven and Earth” had not yet begun to be cultivated for a long time, and Qing Yu was far from reaching the level of absorbing earth essence to increase his power by ten times, and even this absorption of essence to heal his injuries was difficult to recover quickly due to the insufficient absorption of earth essence.
The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than that.
————————
The next two days, Qing Yu and Zhang Xuanji did not leave the stronghold half a step, are hiding in their respective rooms, each doing their own thing.
The next two days were spent in their respective rooms, each doing his own thing. Zhang Xuanji was obsessed with studying the true elixir. He was so enthralled with the reverse of the formula that he didn’t care about anything else.
Qing Yu, on the other hand, knew that he still needed to improve his strength, so he began to cultivate as soon as possible. He spent his days either studying the “Shangqing Myriad Wonders Dan Technique” that he had received from the Shadow King, or practising the “Earth Buster Technique”, ignoring external matters.
Both of them are capable of studying and once they are engrossed, they leave the less important matters behind.
It was clear that for Qing Yu, everything other than growing in strength was not important. As far as Zhang Xuanji was concerned, apart from the Dao of Dan and cultivation, everything else had to be left to the side as well.
Not even the Shadow King would have thought that these two would be so unreliable when it came to their drilling energy.
Although Meng Yunfei, the a*sistant a*signed to Qing Yu by the Shadow King, felt that this was a bit inappropriate, he was in a lowly position and did not dare to disturb these two bigwigs easily.
He knew that even if the Shadow King knew about this, he wouldn’t say much, so he had the intention of serving him carefully and never saying anything.
For a while, there was a sudden silence in the actions of the Shadow House, with all the staff lying dormant.
Such a move caused the people of the Imperial Sword Villa to be somewhat blinded.
The master of the villa, Xiao Qianxiu, personally ordered the people to find the person who used the green sword qi. The people did their best to find him in the past two days, and did not slacken off in any way.
But the other side did not show themselves, and they kept lying dormant. The people of the Imperial Sword Villa were not constables, nor were they thieves or a*sa*sins who were also skilled in hiding, so they could not find out where the Shadow Tower was.
The situation remained like this until Xiao Qiye received the letter.
The letter was not addressed to him, nor did it bear any special markings, but was delivered by a landlord who said that it was from a cloaked, faceless master.
Xiao Qiye opened the envelope and saw only one address on the letter, and that was the address of the Shadow House.
“Young Master, the origin of this letter is unknown, and I don’t know if it is credible, do we need to send someone to go and poke around a bit?” Qu Hansheng, one of the three sword masters who accompanied Xiao Qiye to hunt down Qing Yu and the others, was known as “Qu Ling Han Jian” in Jiang Hu and suggested.
“We need to startle the snake. We need to strike first.” Xiao Qiye put away the letter and said in two words.
Simple words, but they made the meaning clear.
“Go, give the order, now.”
“Yes, Young Zhuang Master.” Qu Han Sheng answered.
“Also, don’t call, Young, Zhuang Master.” Xiao Qiye reminded.
The young master of the Imperial Sword Villa was now Xiao Chengye, and Xiao Qiye really didn’t want to antagonize that useless guy because of this “Young Master”.
Although the other party was already treating Xiao Qiye as a stumbling block.
“Young Master of the Imperial Sword Villa, only the capable will be able to live in it, and you are the capable.” Qu Hansheng looked at this former Young Villa Master, pity and support flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Qiye had lived alone for fourteen years. During these fourteen years, the only thing that this once-brilliant young villa master did was to practice his kung fu and his sword. The three meals a day were also only placed outside the courtyard, without anyone ever coming into contact with Xiao Qiye.
In the entire fourteen years, Xiao Qiye became a True Dan realm, but he also almost forgot how to speak.
For Qu Hansheng, who had watched Xiao Qiye grow up, he pitied Xiao Qiye for what he had gone through and was also very supportive of Xiao Qiye, who was an able and strong person, being able to become the future head of the Imperial Sword Villa.
After all, the difference between Xiao Qiye and Xiao Chengye, a True Dan realm and an Innate realm, was simply too great.
Not to mention Xiao Chengye catching up with Xiao Qiye and advancing to True Dan, it was a problem for him to even break through to Innate and advance to Divine Origin.
Faced with this situation, anyone with a discerning eye would know who to choose as the young va*sal.
