When Xiao Mo and Zuo Xiutong and the others left Qingfeng Courtyard, left the Taoist Academy, and gradually marched into the Lingwu Mountains.

Zhidao Academy, in the inner courtyard, in a magnificent palace, Xiao Shenjian, wearing a light blue robe and a stern face, was sitting on the cushion to practice.

Suddenly, a black shadow quietly flashed into the hall, came to Xiao Shenjian, and whispered something in a low voice.

"oh?"

Hearing the sound, Xiao Shenjian, who was in seclusion, suddenly raised his head and his eyes flashed: "You mean, that boy finally couldn't bear it. Have you gone into the mountain again?"

"Yes."

The face of the black shadow was revealed, but it was Chen Jingnu, a phoenix-eyed woman who had escaped early after seeing the wrong momentum in the battle. At this time, the injuries on her chest were cured strangely, and she could no longer see the appearance of Siwei being hurt, and she didn't know how to recover.

At this time, Chen Jingnu looked down at Xiao Shenjian sitting cross-legged on the ground, with an admiration and charming expression on his face, but his voice was filled with a hint of deep resentment.

"It's not just him, but this time he also brought a woman into the mountain. The man was Zuo Xiutong, the most beloved apprentice of Master Zhongli, and was the descendant of the devil named Zuo at that time."

"Oh, is it Zuo Lanting, the 'starlight rope demon'? I didn't expect that Zuo Lanting, the 'rope demon' who was afraid of as much as a tiger, had his descendants left in the world. Then his forbidden weapon, the starlight dragon rope, should also be in the hands of that woman?"

Xiao Shenjian asked with interest.

Chen Jingnu replied respectfully: "Yes, not only that, she has also used it in public today. She is worthy of being the legendary forbidden weapon, and its power is unparalleled. With the strength of me and the boy Yi Hongxue, the starlight dragon rope facing her is not as powerful as a combination."

When Xiao Shenjian heard this, his eyes showed a thoughtful light: "Very good, this is unexpected news. Starlight Dragon Rope, a weapon that even I envy, wasted in the hands of such a weak person."

He paused, suddenly raised his head, and smiled and said, "Aren't you unwilling to accept their favor? Call your friends, Jing Qianxing, Yi Hongxue, and Dong Xiaoliu, wait for me here. This time I want to enter the mountain myself, so that they will never be able to get out of the Lingwu Mountains."

When the phoenix-eyed woman heard this, she couldn't help but hesitate. Qiqi Ai Ai said: "But, the alchemist Zhongli issued an order to ask Jing Qianxing, Yi Hongxue and the others to take turns to clean up the ashes of the alchemy furnace for a month. Now leave, will Master Zhongli leave?"

"snort……"

Xiao Shenjian sneered when he heard this: "Do you think it is important to find an opportunity to become a first-grade alchemist, or to disobey the orders of those bullshit alchemists a little? So what if you violate his orders once? If you wait for you to come back and all become first-grade alchemists, he will not be happy. If you fail to become a first-grade alchemist, no matter how talented you have, in his eyes, you will still be just an apprentice and will never be as good as Xiao Mo and Zuo Xiutong. Are you willing?"

"certainly……"

Speaking of this, he paused, with a strange smile in his eyes: "As long as you don't let him know, you participated in the siege and kill his two dearest disciples, your status will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai. It's just a matter of leaking secrets. I believe that no one will tell you about your own interests or even life or death."

“Yes, that’s natural.”

When the phoenix-eyed woman heard this, she couldn't help but smile. She finally hesitated for a moment, and seemed to finally figure it out, nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Xiao, I'll inform the three of you now. But Mr. Xiao, don't forget your promise to Jingnv. As long as we help you successfully kill Xiao Mo, one person with a Star Moon Jade Soul Pill, can't you regret this matter?"

Xiao Shenjian heard this and sneered: "Do I, Xiao Shenjian, need to break my promise for just four Star Moon Jade Soul Pills? Although that thing is rare, there are so many soul-fixing pills that go to the Taoist Academy every month. No matter how small the chance is, one or two will always be released. Over the years, many of those alchemy masters must have saved, but they just don't want to sell them outside."

"But who is my master? With my master's face, I will get a few Star Moon Jade Soul Pills to help you all break through the realm of first-grade alchemy masters. Isn't it easy to get it? Don't worry, as long as I successfully kill Xiao Mo, I will definitely get it for you afterwards, even if you don't worry."

The woman with phoenix eyes couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard this, and a moving blush flashed across her face.

She respectfully bowed to Xiao Shenjian and said, "Okay, that's the case, I'll go and notify the three of them now and meet here later."

"Okay, go!"

Xiao Shenjian waved his hand and said lightly.

When the phoenix-eyed woman heard this, she turned around and left with joy on her face. Looking at her back, a hint of coldness appeared in Xiao Shenjian's eyes: "Ha, why bother with my Star Moon Jade Soul Pill? As long as you are like him, you can't get out of the Lingwu Mountains. I naturally don't have to ask those so-called alchemy masters for you to spend a lot of money to exchange for the Star Moon Jade Soul Pill. You don't have to think about how difficult those guys are, but it seems to be more convenient to let you stay in the mountains."

Speaking of this, Xiao Shen raised his sword head slightly, his eyes fell to a flying butterfly that was blowing out of the window, and he sneered: "Xiao Mo, I have made you jump for so long. I didn't expect you to become a disciple of the inner courtyard, and I even worshipped Master Zhongli Dan as my disciple. If you continue to develop, I guess you will not be able to control you in three to five years. This time I will go on the battle myself, so that you will definitely stay there forever and never go down the mountain."

Speaking of this, a very terrifying cold air suddenly scattered out of his body. At some point, on him, the sword energy that had turned red and white when the Yuanling sword energy was perfected had another color, turning into red, white and black.

What do these three colors represent? People who do not understand the Yuanling sword energy are afraid of being confused, but those who understand are absolutely horrified.

Because these three-color sword energy represents something that Xiao Shenjian has cultivated the inheritance of Yuanling Sword Qi, the Zhidao Academy, to the peak of perfection.

For many people, even if it is difficult to practice a virtual-level top-grade martial art to the perfect realm, how many months has Xiao Shenjian joined the inner courtyard?

In just a short time, he was able to practice the extremely difficult spiritual middle-grade martial arts of Yuanling Sword Qi to a perfect state. I don’t know what he had experienced or what adventures he had experienced?

This is definitely not something that ordinary disciples can do easily. Even some elders of the inner court who have practiced the Yuan Ling sword energy for decades may not have achieved such success. How did he do it? No one would believe it if he said it.

Xiao Mo would never have imagined that after Xiao Shenjian joined the inner courtyard, his progress would be so huge, which was beyond people's imagination.

There is no doubt that at this time, Xiao Shenjian's strength reached an extremely terrifying level, which was definitely not comparable to ordinary disciples in the inner courtyard. I am afraid that he would not be able to visit the Qiwu Realm masters, and even surpass them.

Such a terrifying master was always thinking about hunting Xiao Mo and then quickly, and would take action immediately, leading Jing Qianxing, Yi Hongxue, Dong Xiaoliu, Chen Jingnu and other four major disciples under Zhongli alchemist, to go into the mountain to hunt Xiao Mo and Zuo Xiutong.

If they knew, they wouldn't be so leisurely and wouldn't be able to sit and lie down?

Unfortunately, at this time, they had completely entered the Lingwu Mountains, but they knew nothing about what was happening behind them, and they did not know that danger was about to come...

...

On the other side, the outer periphery of Lingwu Mountains.

This is not the first time Xiao Mo has come to Lingwu Mountains, and Zuo Xiutong is obviously not.

As an apprentice under the Zhongli alchemist, finding medicine and collecting herbs is a basic skill. Therefore, although it seems that the alchemist turns a blind eye to the outside world and only works on alchemy, he has to go to the mountains to collect herbs for some high-grade and even rare and rare medicinal materials.

They may not be worse than normal inner courtyard disciples like Xiao Mo.

The two walked inward and gradually deepened. The surrounding scenery was lush and clear, and they soon surpassed the outer periphery of the Lingwu Mountains, entered the middle section of the territory, and even continued to walk inward.

Neither of them suggested staying. It was obvious that neither Xiao Mo nor Zuo Xiutong had been satisfied with exploring outside the Lingwu Mountains. With their strength, they must have penetrated directly into the depths of the Lingwu Mountains to explore deeper scenery and pick higher-quality spiritual medicines.

Two days later.

Four or five ferocious beasts were dealt with along the way, and several low-middle-grade medicinal herbs were picked. Xiao Mo and Zuo Xiutong finally successfully entered the depths of the Lingwu Mountains.

At this time, the trees around were obviously older and more vigorous, and big trees that were hugged by several people could be seen everywhere, obviously thousands of years old.

When he arrived at this environment, Xiao Mo felt that the breath of the Wanpean Return Jue in his body was about to move. Not only did he not feel any discomfort, he seemed to have entered a magical state, as if he was about to melt in it.

Taking advantage of Zuo Xiutong's unpreparedness, Xiao Mo quietly absorbed some of the anger and stored them in his body, and sucked them all the way. Anyway, the amount of the illness was not large every time, which would not have any impact on these trees and grasses. However, Xiao Mo's body stored a lot of anger in a short period of time.

In a short period of time, the need for alchemy should be no problem. Moreover, this time when entering the mountain, Xiao Mo Xuan Fire Cauldron was also carried with him. Although it is unlikely that earth fire would appear deep in the mountains to quote him, he had the fire rushing golden lotus, and he could barely control it with his own heart energy, but the consumption would be more powerful than when using earth fire to refine alchemy.

However, in fact, using the mind to refine alchemy is much better than using the earth fire to refine alchemy, because the mind to refine alchemy is made by everyone's hard work over the years and has long been integrated with themselves. It is more handy to use and more subtle and mysterious to control.

However, most people are unwilling to maintain the output of their mind energy for a long time, so they are used to using earth fire to refine alchemy, which is easier to release and easier.

Of course, because Xiao Mo and Zuo Xiutong spent more time on the road during these two days, they did not spend all their time searching for nearby medicinal materials.

So far, he has only picked the four or five ash-grade medium and low-grade medicinal materials he accidentally found on the roadside. There are basically no ones that can form a complete pill recipe, so he can only wait for the alchemy.

However, Xiao Mo was not in a hurry. On the contrary, he was somewhat looking forward to the longer journey this time, because during the past two days, although Xiao Mo only learned a lot from Zuo Xiutong during ordinary journeys and herb collection.

Zuo Xiutong, a girl in green who seemed cold and introverted, not only gave Xiao Mo a lot of lessons in her cultivation, but also gave Xiao Mo a lot of surprises in collecting herbs and refining alchemy.

And the alchemy disciples like Zuo Xiutong who specialize in refining alchemy are very different from Xiao Mo who only became a monk and joined in the fun for a while. In fact, the essence is still a normal inner courtyard disciple who mainly focuses on cultivation. First of all, there are huge differences in the choice of heart-based skills.
