Volume 1, Chapter 31, News from the Yan Family
As soon as the impulse emerged, Huofeng's voice rang in his ears, and like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning, it directly suppressed Gu Xiao's impulse.
this……
Gu Xiao looked around, but there was no sign of Huofeng.
But soon, Gu Xiao suddenly felt tired, but this fatigue was not caused by excessive consumption of spiritual power, but... spiritual thoughts.
Gu Xiao's mouth twitched, embarrassment appeared on his face, and he put away the Kyushu Sword angrily.
At this time, he somewhat understood why Fang Huanyi, who was at the ninth level of Qi Condensation, could not use minor magical powers, but Qi Mu, who was at the seventh level of Qi Condensation, could.
Gu Xiao pinched his chin, thinking that in Yukang City now, the spiritual energy is thin and not suitable for improving cultivation, but it can improve spiritual consciousness.
It's just that the intensity of Gu Xiao's spiritual thoughts comes from the baptism of the Three Yangs in the mysterious space, but there is no cultivation method.
Cultivation methods...
Gu Xiao suddenly thought that making talismans and drawing spells requires extreme concentration, especially for beginners, who consume their spiritual energy very quickly.
Thinking of this, Gu Xiao looked happy and bowed to the sky. Then he hurriedly returned to the room, took out "Fu Lu Tong Jie" and started to study.
For the next three days, Gu Xiao stayed in the room completely without taking a step out of the room. He even didn't even get a drop of water in during these three days.
The servants, who were afraid that something might happen to Gu Xiao, hurriedly told Cheng Qinghe about the situation. When Cheng Qinghe opened the door and saw Gu Xiao's appearance, he was shocked.
At this time, Gu Xiao's face was pale and his eye sockets were sunken, but his eyes were extremely focused and his face was full of fanaticism.
"Ahem! Little friend, what are you..."
Cheng Qinghe's slight cough made Gu Xiao's hand tremble, and the talisman that was about to be drawn was instantly canceled. His face changed and he glared at Cheng Qinghe, which shocked Cheng Qinghe again.
When Gu Xiao saw that it was Cheng Qinghe, the anger on his face disappeared, but at the same time, he also felt a strong dizziness, and almost lost his footing and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Cheng Qinghe had quick eyes and quick hands. He rushed forward to support Gu Xiao and asked in a panic: "Little friend, are you okay?"
Gu Xiao shook his head and managed to regain some energy, but he was speechless and could only wave his hands. Cheng Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief and helped Gu Xiao sit down on the chair behind him.
It was only then that Cheng Qinghe discovered the talisman on the desk and suddenly understood why he had been stared at by Gu Xiao just now.
“My little friend, it’s good to be diligent and conscientious, but haste makes waste. If you work too hard, you’ll put the cart before the horse and lose more than you gain!”
Cheng Qinghe's words were filled with deep concern. After Gu Xiao regained consciousness, he smiled awkwardly.
He naturally understands this truth, but he doesn't know whether it is because he has the talent to make spells or because Lan Feng has merged with his spiritual thoughts. The originally complicated spell drawing has become quite simple for him, and he accidentally fell into it.
Got addicted to it.
Gu Xiao couldn't tell whether he had listened or not. Cheng Qinghe sighed silently and was about to say something more, but his eyes were attracted by the spell drawn on the side.
"Huh? Are these solid talismans and magical talismans?"
With Cheng Qinghe's knowledge, he could tell at a glance what kind of talisman the painted talisman was, and upon closer inspection, the painting of this talisman was actually more delicate than anything he had ever seen.
"Little friend, were you the ones who drew these two talismans?"
Gu Xiao nodded and did not deny it, but Cheng Qinghe took a breath after seeing it.
Because when Gu Xiao first started practicing drawing spells three days ago, his servants reported to him. In other words, it only took Gu Xiao three days to have the ability to make solid talismans and magical talismans!
"My little friend, your cultivation talent is already strong enough. I didn't expect you to have such talent in making talismans. It makes me ashamed!"
Cheng Qinghe's sigh made Gu Xiao dumbfounded. He quickly asked Cheng Qinghe to stop there and changed the subject: "Mr. Cheng, have you found out where the killer Huang Mo came from?"
When Gu Xiao asked about the killer's origin, Cheng Qinghe nodded solemnly: "We found out that this Huang Mo committed a crime in the Great Xia Dynasty and was forced to flee to the Imperial City of Yue to start a career as a killer.
"
Huang Mo comes from the Imperial City of Yue Kingdom, so why is he related to Yukang City?
Seeing Gu Xiao's doubts, Cheng Qinghe continued: "After repeated inspections, we finally determined that the person who invited Huang Mo is related to the blacksmithing workshop."
Forge workshop!
As soon as he heard the word "smithing workshop", Gu Xiao immediately understood.
"My little friend, you should know the background of the blacksmithing workshop. The Yan family behind it is no less important than my semi-colon in this three-acre land in Yue country."
Gu Xiao heard the concerns in Cheng Qinghe's words and nodded to express his understanding.
"However, after all, it is because of the trouble caused by Tianxuan Mingjian this time. I will try my best to deal with it, but it is a little more difficult for you to find the golden ring and the lotus."
"Huh? How do you say that?"
Gu Xiao couldn't help but frown. Cheng Qinghe sighed and told what he knew.
The golden ring and lotus are under the control of the royal family of the Yue Kingdom, but the place of production, Luofeng Town, is the headquarters of the Yan family behind the blacksmithing workshop.
It is rumored that the reason why the Yan family is arrogant and domineering throughout the Yue Kingdom is because of their inhumane relationship with the royal family.
When Gu Xiao heard from Cheng Qinghe that Yan Feng, the legitimate son of the Yan family, came to Yukang City to investigate the cause of the death of the shop owner of the blacksmith shop, he immediately connected the things.
"In other words, Yan Feng sent Huang Mo to intercept me and snatch the Tianxuan Ringing Sword back. Yan Feng wanted to keep it for himself, but he didn't actually report it to the Yan family?"
Gu Xiao's conclusion made Cheng Qinghe stunned for a moment, but then he thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case, so he nodded in agreement.
Gu Xiao pondered for a moment and thought to himself, in this case, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he should leave for Luofeng Town as soon as possible.
After hearing Gu Xiao's plan, Cheng Qinghe didn't say much and asked someone to arrange a carriage. Before leaving, he also gave Gu Xiao the money from the sale of Fang Huanyi's things.
"My little friend, although going to Luofeng Town is not as dangerous as entering the desert, you should not take it lightly. Be careful in everything you do!"
Gu Xiao nodded, cupped his hands, got on the carriage, and left Yukang City.
One day later, the traveling carriage suddenly stopped. Gu Xiao, who was practicing, could not help but frown: "What's going on?"
"Sir, there is a fight ahead."
Fight?
Gu Xiao was stunned and curious. He opened the curtain and looked forward. However, when Gu Xiao saw the face of one of the people, his expression became quite strange.
Because this person was Lin Huai, who was forced by Gu Xiao to break through from the Lin family.
After not seeing each other for two months, Lin Huai has now broken through to the third level of Qi Condensation, but his breath is unstable, as if he just broke through not long ago.
The person fighting with Lin Huai at this time was a 28-year-old, good-looking woman who was only at the ninth level of body tempering. Behind the woman, there was a girl with a panicked look and tears in her eyes.
Although he was watching from a distance, Gu Xiao could still clearly see that the woman was injured. While resisting Lin Huai with difficulty, she also tried her best to protect the girl behind her.
"Lin Huai, you disregard morality first and still force yourself on me, don't you feel ashamed!"
At this moment, the woman who was hit by Lin Huai's palm again shouted with anger on her face.
Hearing the woman's angry shouting, Lin Huai smiled ferociously: "Ji Fei, it was you who wanted to monopolize the demon pill first, and now you bite back and accuse me of not caring about morality?"
"You fart!" Xu was stimulated by Lin Huai's words, and Ji Fei spat out angrily: "This demon pill is obviously divided between my two sisters according to their work."
"Huh!" Lin Huai snorted coldly, his expression unchanged: "Who agreed to divide it, how come I didn't know?"
"You!" Ji Fei was so angry that she didn't say anything for a long time. In the end, she could only curse "bastard" and swung her sword towards Lin Huai.
However, Ji Fei was only at the ninth level of body tempering, and the sword he swung seemed to be fierce and fast, but it was not a threat to Lin Huai at all.
Not only did he easily dodge it, he slapped Ji Fei on the chest again, causing Ji Fei to vomit blood, fly backwards, and fall heavily to the ground.
"elder sister!"
The girl behind Ji Fei exclaimed and raised her feet to step forward to help her.
"Don't come here!"
Ji Fei shouted angrily, endured the pain and got up, staring at Lin Huai with murderous intent.
"Lin Huai, if you dare to kill me, Uncle Yu will definitely avenge me!"
Hearing the word "Uncle Yu", Lin Huai's face froze with ferocity, but it quickly recovered.
"What a joke! Your Uncle Yu is only at the fifth level of Qi Condensation, and he practices rubbish techniques. Do you really think I can't deal with him?"
Ji Fei's expression changed and she wanted to refute, but in the end she pursed her lips tightly and was speechless.
"Furthermore, even if I can't deal with him, Elder Jingyun will deal with him, won't it be easy?"
Elder Jingyun? Lin Jingyun?
Gu Xiao, who was on the carriage, frowned. When he heard this, he roughly guessed what was going on, and his face became a little unhappy.
After all, he had experienced the Lin family's gangster logic several times, and it was really disgusting.
At this moment, an angry Ji Fei suddenly stepped back, picked up the girl behind him, and ran towards Gu Xiao's carriage.
After running for a while, Ji Fei found Gu Xiao and shouted for help with a happy face.
Lin Huai, who was chasing behind her, changed his expression, quickened his pace, and got closer, and he could see Gu Xiao's face clearly.
"Gu Xiao, why is it you?!"
Being recognized by Lin Huai, Gu Xiao snorted coldly and jumped out, just in front of Ji Fei. The fleeing Ji Fei got a moment to breathe and protected the girl and hid behind Gu Xiao.
At this time, Lin Huai's shocked face turned into joy: "Okay! You loser has been missing for two months, and now you finally show up!"
"What?" Gu Xiao's lips curled up: "We haven't seen you for two months, your skin is itchy again?"
"You!" Lin Huai was angry and his expression turned ferocious: "Stop talking nonsense! Hand over that combat skill quickly and I will spare your life!"
Oh!
Lin Huai's blunt words made Gu Xiao laugh and shake his head, but he said nothing.
And Ji Fei behind him, after listening to these few words of conversation, knew that Gu Xiao and Lin Huai had a grudge, and a sense of hope arose in her heart.
"Sir, you and I should work together to kill this bastard!"
Ji Fei suddenly spoke, leaving Gu Xiao and Lin Huai stunned.
After a while, Lin Huai came back to his senses and laughed.
"Asshole! Why are you laughing?!"
"Of course I'm laughing at you. It's not good to ask anyone for help. How about asking for help from a waste of the eighth level of body tempering?!"
The eighth level of body tempering?!
