Under the warm spring sun, the young man reclined in the shadow of the tree, smiling brightly, "Senior brother, you made me wait for a long time again."
Wen Xuan stopped abruptly.
He felt that he needed to sort out the situation in front of him.
Just an hour ago, he learned that the black gold ore he needed was emptied by the guy in front of him, and then... No, he didn't look for it right away, but went to the square of the sect to try his luck. .
There are often disciples setting up booths in the square, exchanging things for things, and a task stone is fixed in the corner. This quest stone is a slate-like magic weapon, which is used by all disciples to receive sect quests and earn sect contribution points. At the same time, if any disciple needs help with something, he only needs to pay a small amount of sect contribution value as a handling fee, and he can also use this task stone to issue a private commission, which is another channel for transactions.
Yes, it was on this quest stone that Wenxuan found a private commission, the content of which was to ask monks above the foundation to form a team to search for elixir, and the reward happened to be a piece of black gold ore. At that time, he still thought that this luck was really good, and he was just out of nowhere, so he quickly entrusted this private person to take over.
Then there was a bit of aura floating on the task stone, which led him directly to the client.
... So he appeared here and saw the young man in front of him again.
Wen Xuan froze in place, watching as the guiding spirit flew towards Jian and buried it in the jade slip in this guy's hand.
"Senior brother," Jian Yi retracted the jade slip and walked up to him with a smile, "When are we going?"
Alright, alright, but one or two can't be three, Wenxuan took it
He couldn't help but let out a long sigh, finally accepted his fate, and began to confirm the contents of the entrustment to Jian Jian, "You have found the spiritual grass you need in a mountain forest, but you are too weak to go deep, so you seek help from monks above the foundation establishment. . As long as you go to the forest to look for it, you will pay a piece of black gold ore no matter if you find the spirit grass in the end?"
"Yeah, yeah." Jian Yi nodded again and again, his eyes narrowed into two crescent moons, not to mention how happy he was.
Wen Xuan didn't know what to say about him. Say that his scheming is deeply intertwined, and things are so obvious that people can't even think about it. But to say that he is straightforward and simple... I really can't say it.
He shook his head, didn't say anything at all, just asked the location of the mountain forest, then flicked his sleeves, wrapped it in a cloud of escape, and left.
Without Feijian, Wenxuan's escaping speed can't be said to be fast, but at least he is in the condensed Yuan period, and he can barely travel thousands of miles a day.
But at noon, a green mountain appeared in front of the two of them.
This mountain range is called Luofengling, which separates the entire Beiningzhou and Ximingzhou from west to east, spreading out countless branches. The goal of the two of them this trip is one of its branches.
Along the way, Jian Jian was full of interest, "It's the first time I've been taken to the sky. The scenery is so beautiful."
Wen Xuan ignored him.
Jian Yi asked again, "Senior brother, have you been here before? I heard that as long as you cross this Luofeng Mountain, it will be completely the territory of monsters."
Wen Xuan still ignored him.
Jian Yi paused for a while, and then continued to talk with perseverance, "After we parted yesterday, senior brother, you..."
Wen Xuan abruptly stopped Dun Yun and threw him down.
The action is not gentle. It staggered when it landed easily, and managed to keep it from falling.
"It's here." Wen Xuan put his hands behind his back and said these two words with a cold face. At the same time, his eyes swept around very quickly, with a cautious look.
Wenxuan wondered if there would be any traps here, but there was none.
Then he turned his attention to the path deep in the forest. Standing at this entrance, you can feel that the mountain is full of spiritual energy, which is indeed a good place to nourish spiritual things.
Only then did Wenxuan believe 80% of the simple words, and finally started to walk into the forest.
However, he only cared about walking by himself, without even looking back, the guy would always follow anyway.
"Senior brother..." Yi Jian Guozhen followed silently for a long time, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Are you angry?"
Wen Xuan asked with a blank face, "What do you think?"
"Because I'm deliberately approaching you?" Simple asked again.
Wen Xuan couldn't help but paused. The other party admitted so calmly, but he was speechless.
After such a meal, Jian Jian chased after him and stood by his side, "I did do a lot of things to get close to you. I said you would come to me again. But since you really came to me again , This shows that you are not reconciled with the situation in front of you, don't you?"
Wen Xuan shifted his gaze to his face, "What do you want to say?"
"Sharp sword." The young man's voice was clear and loud, like gold and jade hitting each other, "It shouldn't be broken."
Hearing this, Wen Xuan's palm suddenly tightened. He couldn't help but touched his side, where the flying sword was originally hanging, but now there was only an empty scabbard.
The sharp sword should not be broken.
After a long while, Wen Xuan smiled. Unexpectedly, a qi refining youth who had just met for the first time could actually say such a thing to him.
"But it's broken." He replied calmly.
"But you know it shouldn't break." When talking about his pride, he always likes to raise his eyebrows, "that's why you came to me."
Wenxuan stood in the same place.
Yes, the reason why he was pinched by a piece of black gold ore was just because he wanted to repair the sword. If not, no matter how many tricks Jian Yi makes on this, it has nothing to do with him.
Then Wenxuan shook his head, took another step forward, and continued to walk along the trail to the depths of the forest.
Jian Yi was still behind him and followed step by step.
After a while, the mountain forest went deeper and deeper, and the mountain road gradually disappeared. Both were silent. The silence seemed to be the same as before, but they all knew that after the short conversation just now, the atmosphere between the two was actually completely different. They are all just waiting for each other.
"Who broke the sword?"
"What's your purpose?"
Suddenly, the two of them spoke at the same time.
Wenxuan couldn't help but be stunned, but Jian Jian smiled happily, but was happy because of this tacit understanding.
"Senior brother." He said, "It seems that I was a moment earlier."
It was true that he was a moment earlier, Wen Xuan could not deny it. But Wen Xuan was really not happy to answer the question he asked.
Who broke the sword? Of course, just yesterday morning, it was Luo Qingquan who interrupted the Canglan Sword. But Wenxuan knew that this would not be the answer the other party wanted, because the other party was not asking about the Canglan Sword at all.
"No one will let the sword break." After a while, Wen Xuan said, "God's will."
"I knew you would say that." Jian Yi shook his head.
"That's the truth."
"Then who gave you the current practice?" Jian Yi asked again.
Wen Xuan frowned. I asked this question yesterday, but he didn't answer. Since then, he has been reluctant to be involved with this guy, and a large part of the reason is probably because he does not want to continue to be entangled in this issue.
"Since you already know that the practice method is not right, shouldn't the person who gave you the practice method have a good suspicion?" Jian Jian didn't seem to notice his dissatisfaction, "Maybe he did it on purpose..."
"Enough!" Wen Xuan finally couldn't help shouting loudly, "Don't go too far!"
Jian Yi shrugged, not being frightened at all, just looking straight at him. This gaze was very calm, a little strangely calm, as if he already knew the answer, but was just waiting for Wen Xuan to say it himself.
Under this kind of gaze, Wen Xuan clenched his hands into fists, tightened, loosened, and tightened. After a long while, he finally spit out two words, "Master..."
Simple eyes suddenly lit up. These two words, he has been waiting for a long time.
"Uncle Master told me the drawbacks when he handed the practice to me." Wen Xuan gritted his teeth and said word by word, "I chose to practice it myself. "
The simple expression became a little subtle, and the corners of the mouth evoked a smile that was not a smile.
"It's better to put away your groundless speculations." Wen Xuan couldn't understand his reaction, so he could not help but grit his teeth again, "Master Shishu has no reason at all..."
He was just halfway through saying this, when suddenly his expression froze, and he turned his head to look at the road. That direction leads to the deepest part of the mountain forest, a place where Simple claims to have precious elixir. Wen Xuan originally thought that this was just a guise for simple nonsense, but just now, he suddenly felt a dangerous aura coming from that direction.
"Roar!" The roar of the monster followed closely, scaring away the birds and beasts in Yilin.
"This is..." Wen Xuan probed with his spiritual energy, and his expression suddenly changed, "Tier 3 monsters!"
The third-level monster is about equal to the condensing stage of human monks. And because the monster skin is thick and thick, it is often more difficult to deal with than ordinary condensing cultivators.
In the past, Wenxuan might still be able to try it, but at this time he had no sword in hand, and his strength could not be exerted at all. In fact, Wenxuan would not have accepted this commission so decisively if it hadn't been for the simple claim that he only needed the help of monks above the foundation establishment.
"Did you already know there was this guy?" Wen Xuan's words made him grit his teeth.
Easy nod.
If I had known this guy earlier, I would have dared to write more than foundation building! If you really come to the foundation stage with him, I am afraid that both of them will die to the point where not even the scum is left!
Wen Xuan was so angry... he turned his head decisively and left.
"Eh... Brother..." Jian Yi quickly grabbed the corner of his clothes, "Don't you try to kill it? With this guy guarding it, there must be something good in it."
"If you want, give me the black gold ore first, let me fix the sword first, and I'll come back immediately and kill it." Wen Xuan decisively pulled the corner of his clothes back, "Otherwise, I really don't know who killed who. !"
Just pulling and pulling like this, the rumbling sound got closer and closer. Then the monster roared again, and the roar was close to his ears in a moment.
In the next instant, the guy stuck his head out of the woods, a four-legged monster covered in black armor. Eyes as big as copper bells stared at the two of them, and his throat roared, obviously very unfriendly. The fangs stretched out almost eight feet long, and it would not be too crowded for three people to string on it in one breath.
Wen Xuan's expression changed, his pace changed, and he decisively protected Jian Jian behind him.
"Senior brother..." Jian Yi still pulled the corner of his clothes and said weakly behind him, "You answered my question just now, but I haven't answered yours yet."
What time is this! What are you talking about! Wen Xuan did not care about him.
"You asked my purpose," Jian Jian replied to himself, "actually, I just want to get close to you."
yes! The question is close to what to do! At such a time, Wen Xuan still has to catch him in such a hurry, it's just...
"And the reason why I approached you was because I wanted to..." When Jian Yi said this, his right hand ran along Wen Xuan's clothes and touched Wen Xuan's palm.
"Good to you." He replied three words.
Wen Xuan was taken aback. Simple has already held his hand and turned from behind him to the front.
In the face of the third-level monsters, Jian Jian is not afraid at all.
He turned the seemingly inconspicuous bracelet on his right wrist and took out a talisman from it.
