Along the edge of the Taihang Mountains all the way north, Shang Pei and Shang Xia's aunt and nephew flew hundreds of miles and came to an inconspicuous small village.
"When did you build a village here?"
After talking about Dunguang, Shang Xia looked at Cen Wu and the others who came out of the village and asked in surprise.
Shang Pei said casually: "Haven't you heard of the Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit? But I haven't been back here for many years."
As he walked towards the village, Cen Wu said, "The Eighteen Riders of Youyan have been crisscrossing Jizhou for more than ten years, during which there have been injured, retired, and old, as well as family members, relatives, descendants, etc., there must always be a proper place to resettle. Over time, it has become a village."
While speaking, Cen Wu led the two to a very spacious courtyard in the village.
"This is the courtyard of the third sister's house, and both Miss Min and Xiao Yuanyuan have lived here for a long time."
Cen Wu was mainly introducing to Shang Xia, while Shang Pei was more reminiscing after entering this courtyard.
Coming to the upper room, Shang Xia asked casually, "Are the other people in Youyan Village safe?"
Cen Wu smiled and said, "The journey is pretty smooth, everything here is simple, if Young Master Shang needs anything, you can tell me, I will do my best to prepare."
"I don't have any ......"
Shang Xia's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"How are you?"
Shang Pei was also a little unattractive because of the wear and tear of the evil essence in his body, but the injuries in his body were not serious.
Shang Xia stretched out his hand to stop the two of them who were a little flustered, and said weakly, "It's nothing, just spit it out a mouthful of blood."
Shang Pei could roughly sense the injury in his body, frowned and said, "You are injured and not neat, and then you forcibly did it with others, vibrating your internal organs again, and then you held on all the way back to here, and then you were injured again."
Shang Xia wiped the blood from his mouth and said with a smile, "No way, I didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at me at that time, but whenever you and my aunt and nephew showed a little weakness, they immediately swarmed up like hyenas."
Shang Pei nodded, and then spoke: "I have never asked before, what kind of martial art is the palm you slapped Ye Yifan flying? The power is also too domineering, and those with less knowledge may regard it as a four-fold heavenly power."
Shang Xia took out an exquisite wine jug from his cuff, took a sip of the Hundred Flowers Spirit Brew inside, and said, "The one I inadvertently figured out is called ...... 'Four Elephant Palms'. In fact, with my state at that time, it was impossible to send a second palm."
"Four elephant palms?"
Shang Pei read this strange name for a while, but he didn't dwell too much, but nodded and said, "The Four Elephant Palm is still above your 'Gu Yu'."
…………
Shang Xia temporarily settled in this small village.
Both Shang Xia and Shang Pei need a period of cultivation to restore the injuries in their bodies and their own state.
Compared with Shang Pei, Shang Xia actually needed more time to settle at this time.
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, whether Shang Xia wants to create his own exercises or martial arts, the most difficult thing is the stage of starting from scratch.
Once he successfully took the first step, sorted out the overall framework of the "Four Seasons and Four Views Reincarnation Technique", and cut the first knife in the fourth-order martial arts, then all that was left was to open, expand and improve in this direction.
Although this process is cumbersome and requires a lot of time and effort for repeated trial and error and verification, every success is a bit of accumulation and progress.
And this kind of feeling, although small, can really make people feel that they are constantly improving, and this feeling has fascinated Shang Xia, and gradually has a tendency to indulge in it.
Even if it weren't for being interrupted by Shang Pei in the middle, Shang Xia might even have been in seclusion in this small village for two or three years until the "Four Seasons and Four Views Reincarnation Technique" was completely perfected in his hands.
After Shang Xia was woken up by Shang Pei and interrupted his practice, he realized that more than three months had passed, and the time had come from the beginning of spring to midsummer in the Shenwu calendar.
In the past three months or so, Shang Xia has not only recovered from his injuries, but his own strength has returned to its peak state, and he has even improved slightly in his cultivation, once again refining the Four Seasons Spirit Demon a little.
And I don't know if Shang Xia's guess is wrong, since the enlightenment incense only burned for an hour, but its inner afterglow remained in him for a long time.
At least Shang Xia felt that the smooth progress of his practice during this period was likely due to the original incense stick of enlightenment.
After Shang Xia lit the incense of enlightenment,
In one fell swoop, the weekly transportation of the "Four Seasons and Four Scenes Reincarnation Technique" was shortened by three and a half hours, and the next month of meditation shortened the time by one moment again.
In the last three months in the mountain village, although the heaven and earth energy here were relatively thin, Shang Xia managed to shorten the time of Zhou Tian's transportation to less than three hours.
Every shortening of the Sunday handling cycle often means an improvement in cultivation efficiency.
"Did something happen?"
Shang Xia knew that if there were no necessary circumstances, it was unlikely that Shang Pei would wake him up from the meditation cultivation.
"It's news from the academy, telling you to return to Youzhou as soon as possible."
After Shang Pei told him the news, his expression seemed to be hesitant, as if there was something unspeakable.
Shang Xia didn't notice Shang Pei's expression, but he heard something from Shang Pei's words, frowned and said, "Won't the third aunt return north with me? And everyone in Youyan Village?"
Shang Pei pondered for a moment and said, "Yin Wanxiang gathered several fourth-order masters of the Taihang Mountains to form the Five Mountains Alliance in the sixth section, and they have invited me to ...... several times."
Shang Xia knew that when Shang Pei was chased by Ye Yifan and Zhang Luofei before, he had asked the Five Mountains Alliance to help him escape many times, so he said, "You don't want to go, but you feel that you owe the Five Mountains Alliance a favor?"
Shang Pei's expression was relieved when he heard this, and he sighed slightly, "I have reported this matter to the academy, and the academy also means to let me stay and join the Five Mountains Alliance."
Shang Xia was startled when he heard this, and said, "The academy has other plans? The Linyuan Secret Realm has been destroyed, is the academy optimistic about the future of the Five Mountains Alliance?"
Shang Pei said: "I think it's just playing idle chess and burning a cold stove."
Shang Pei's tone was somewhat self-deprecating.
Shang Xia frowned slightly, showing dissatisfaction.
Shang Pei instead comforted, "Actually, it doesn't matter, over the years I have adapted to this kind of life that is displaced but also unrestrained.
"Besides," Shang Pei's tone paused, and said, "How good do you think the current situation of the academy can be?"
Shang Xia was startled and looked at it in astonishment
Towards Shang Pei.
I only heard Shang Pei say, "Twenty years ago, the foreign regions invaded, and the lands of the five states of Shu, Liang, Bing, You, and Qing were invaded.
Shang Xia nodded slightly, he knew most of these things, but he understood that Shang Pei must have something to follow.
"Over the years, because a corner of Youzhou is small and sparsely populated, there are many discussions in the Cangyu Realm about abolishing Youzhou, and Ji and Bing Prefectures are the vanguard of dividing Youzhou, but it is because Kou Chongxue has been rolling around in the outer dome over the years, completely giving up the face of the fifth-order ancestor, which is why people are afraid of rats."
When Shang Xia heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and he said, "That's why Kou Shanchang was seriously injured in the outer dome before? And this time, the academy even did not hesitate to cooperate with the four major tribes of Cang Ling who had been fighting for twenty years, and borrowed the divine weapon 'Ling Xuan Breaking the Air Claw' from their hands?"
Shang Pei nodded and said, "Even I find it incredible that Ji Wenlong sacrificed 'Ling Xuan Breaking the Sky Claw', there may be other reasons for this, but this must be the most fundamental one, he blocked many people's way!"
Shang Xia hurriedly said: "What is the reason why so many people want to abandon Youzhou? Who is the Kou mountain chief blocking the way?"
Shang Pei shook his head and said, "How do I, a person who has been away all year round, know the secret? But I think it may be related to the distribution of the origin of heaven and earth in the Cangyu Realm, and it may directly affect the number of martial artists in the Wugang Realm, right?"
The two aunts and nephews talked for a long time, and exchanged some cultivation experiences with each other, and Shang Xia learned another reason why Shang Pei intended to join the Five Mountains Alliance.
"So, your second natal spirit demon has not been condensed and completed, and joining the Five Mountains Alliance this time is just to return to Yunshuijian and continue to collect the necessary fog demons?" Shang Xia asked.
"Not bad!" Shang Pei sighed.
Shang Xia frowned and said, "Yunshuijian has been mostly destroyed because of the previous war, and now the fog that lingers inside has dissipated, where can we still collect the fog? Can't you change to another place?"
Shang Pei also said helplessly, "Not to mention the 'Linyuan Mist Demon' I need, let's call it that, it is a rare kind of fog demon, and it may not be available in other places. Even if there is, it may take a lot of time and effort to find it. Although Yunshuijian was destroyed, I had deliberately passed by its edge when I crossed the Five Mountains Alliance before, and I could detect that there were still a small amount of fog demons remaining inside. Now it's just a matter of spending some time collecting little by little, it's better than not even having a way to collect it."
"That
How long will it take?"
Shang Xia knew that in less than two years after Shang Pei came to Yunshuijian, he had already collected and refined most of the second natal spirit demon.
In this situation now, her cultivation improvement will inevitably be greatly delayed.
Shang Pei was a little unsure and said, "This...... I'm not sure, maybe five or seven years faster, or slower...... Ten years?"
In fact, there is a possibility that Shang Pei hasn't said it yet, that is, even the fog evil that remains in the cloud and water stream is actually slowly dissipating, and she doesn't even have that long to collect it.
To be honest, usually a fourth-order warrior usually spends three to five years collecting it when he has a way, and he will definitely put together a complete Heaven and Earth Spirit Demon.
Of course, more fourth-order warriors didn't even have a way to collect the spirit demons of heaven and earth, or were on the way to find a way.
But before Shang Pei obviously had a faster way, and was even about to succeed, but at the last moment, he fell short because of the arrival of the Abyss Secret Realm, which was the most demoralizing place.
Shang Pei sighed at this time: "If only there was a way to speed up the collection of fog demons."
Shang Xia's eyes lit up, and he quickly took out the mist bead he had obtained from the inheritance light cluster before, and said, "What do you think of this thing?"
"What is ...... this?"
As soon as Shang Pei took it, he immediately noticed the effect of this mist bead, raised his head suddenly with a happy face, and said, "Where did it come from?"
Seeing this, Shang Xia knew that there was a door, so he told her about the mist beads and enlightenment incense obtained from the inheritance light group.
"Enlightenment?"
Shang Pei looked thoughtful and said, "I think I've heard it somewhere, listening to what you say should be a rare treasure. But for me, this mist bead can be described as timely rain."
Shang Xia asked, "Is this thing really useful?"
Shang Pei said proudly, "I can use this mist bead to gather the remnants of the clouds and streams, if everything goes well, it only takes more than half a year to refine the second natal spirit demon and advance to the second layer of the fourth heaven. More importantly, in addition to creating a sea of fog within a radius of several miles, this object seems to be an artifact used by the Linyuan Sect to collect different types of fog demons."
Shang Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said, "It's useful! But it seems that you may go to the Five Mountains Alliance anyway."
Shang Pei smiled, he didn't seem to care about this, but said, "Actually, I also have a Linyuan Secret Realm Inheritance Light Group in my hand, and the contents are just right for you!"
Saying that, Shang Pei handed him a palm-sized jade plaque.
Shang Xia looked at the smooth and round jade plaque in his hand, and didn't know what the purpose of this thing was for a while.
Shang Pei smiled and said, "You need to shine the jade card with the light of your natal life to stimulate the inheritance content in it."
Shang Xia heard the words and directly bloomed in the palm of his hand with a ray of four-season evil light, and in an instant, the jade card was already infiltrate, and then a four-color light curtain was thrown, and lines of handwriting appeared densely on it, and there was even a deep moving image at the end recording the production process of a martial talisman.
"'Linyuan Feng Xu Fu'!"
Shang Xia's face was full of admiration: "This is a complete set of martial talisman inheritance!"
Shang Pei also said: "When I saw the inheritance content inside, I was also amazed at the rigor of the Linyuan Sect's martial talisman inheritance. This one, or more precisely, this series of 'Linyuan Feng Xu Fu', from the lowest level 'Linyuan Borrowing Wind Fu', to the second-order 'Linyuan Wind Capture Fu', to the third-order 'Linyuan Yu Qi Fu', and then to the fourth-order 'Linyuan Breaking Void Fu', and finally to the fifth-order 'Linyuan Feng Void Fu' that even the person who left the inheritance has never done, it is completely in the same vein, which is breathtaking."
Shang Xia also said, "Not only that, this inheritance also records the production methods of various levels of talisman paper and talisman ink exclusively of this vein martial talisman, even the talisman pen, paperweight, inkstone, the time when the talisman was made, the length of the talisman making time, the size and thickness of each stroke, and the beginning and turn are all clearly recorded.
Shang Pei was amazed and asked, "I didn't look closely at it before I found out that it was a martial talisman inheritance, what is the use of this 'Linyuan Feng Void Fu'?"
Shang Xia replied, "The first-order 'Wind Borrowing Fu' can only make the warrior faster, the second-order 'Wind Capture Fu' can not only be used to rush the road, but also attract a hurricane to defend against the enemy, the third-order 'Qi Fu' can make people fly in the air like a fourth-order warrior, as for the fourth-order 'Void Breaking Fu', it seems that it can be used to break through the barriers of the realm, allowing the warrior to cross the mysterious realm, blessed land and other secret realms, even, well, I guess it is possible to go directly to the outer heavens......"
"What about the fifth order?"
Shang Pei then asked.
Shang Xia thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
