Three days later, early in the morning. On the Yushui Mountain in the north of the city, two extremely fast shadows were rushing down from the Yushui Mountain.
"Whizzing… "
Fast as lightning!
At the foot of the mountain, the two shadows gradually slowed down. Upon closer inspection, the two shadows turned out to be a person and a dog. The man was dressed in white, with a delicate long sword behind his back. He had a handsome appearance, and although his figure was not burly, he was very tall and straight. And that dog was much worse, with little meat all over its body, dry and even worse than the local dogs on the street, as if it hadn't eaten for months.
"Hoo..."
This person and one dog are naturally Xia Yan and the native dog Phantom Wolf. Xia Yan stopped his body, exhaled a long breath from his chest, his eyes shone brightly, his palms slowly stretched forward, a burst of energy emanated from his palms, formed a ball of air in the air and rushed out. Xia Yan's hair was still stained with a trace of water.
After Xia Yan heard what the old man Shenghuang said three days ago, he regained his direction. Although the strength cannot be greatly improved in a short period of time, but it also knows a direction.
As long as the potion is used to accelerate the increase of the spirit-gathering point, the speed of converting internal force into spiritual force will also be accelerated.
Now. The key problem is to find twenty or thirty kinds of medicinal materials needed, and then prepare them.
It is difficult to find all these medicinal materials in a short time. On the second day, Xia Yan went to the auction house to find Mo Kai, the director of the pharmacy, but Mo Kai was not sure that he could find all the medicinal materials. Moreover, even the rarer medicinal materials that he was sure to find would take a week to be transported from Purple Leaf City to Yushui City.
"Tugou, look at how beautiful this mountain, this city, and this sky are!" After Xia Yan took a deep breath and adjusted his breath, he looked at the scenery in the distance, and then turned to look at the Tugou beside him and sighed.
The earth dog looked at Xia Yan with green eyes, seemed a little puzzled, barked twice, and wagged its tail back and forth.
Suddenly, a hare appeared in the sight of one man and one wolf.
With a wow, the earth dog rushed out like an arrow from the string, and rushed towards the hare with all four hooves. The hare seemed to be frightened, and forgot to run away for a while. When it realized that it wanted to run away, the big mouth of the earth dog had already gently bit its slender throat!
"Crack..."
With a little effort from the dog, the hare's fragile neck broke.
Xia Yan frowned, his white clothes fluttered slightly, and then he said with a smile: "It happens that I haven't had breakfast yet, let's eat roasted hares!"
"Hey, put the rabbit down. Get some firewood!" Xia Yan ordered the earth dog.
The earth dog's eyes lit up, he put down the hare, jumped up happily, thumped his hooves on the ground, and then ran towards the forest.
Near here, there is a clear river.
The hare was skinned and washed, and the dog took back a lot of dry branches.
A blue smoke curled up by the stream. After a while, an intoxicating smell of meat spread around. The earth dog squatted next to it, its eyes were shining, its front paws kept picking up the loose dust on the ground, its furry ears were erected, and its green eyes were motionless, looking at the rabbit meat on the fire.
"After this, I don't have time to barbecue for you." Xia Yan shook his head and looked at the dog helplessly.
In the past three days, the earth dog seems to be addicted to eating.
"Woo..."
Unwillingly, he yelled twice.
…
"Brother Xia Yan..."
"Brother Xia Yan..."
Just as Xia Yan was dealing with a roasted rabbit leg, two shouts came from a distance from the official road of Yushui City.
"Huh? Someone from the family is looking for me?!" Xia Yan paused, stood up, and threw the remaining rabbit leg to the dirt dog.
The earth dog jumped up and caught the rabbit's leg. Excited to roll on the ground.
Xia Yan stepped out, his figure flashed, and soon he came out of the woods. Sure enough, he saw two Xia family children wearing Xia family costumes rushing towards this side.
"Quick, brother Xia Yan is there." A Xia family child with sharp eyes saw Xia Yan, and said excitedly to another person.
The two rushed towards Xia Yan excitedly.
"Brother Xia Yan!" When they got close, both of them saluted respectfully.
Xia Yan nodded and asked, "Could it be that the patriarch is looking for me when you come here?!"
Only when the patriarch looks for him, will the children in the family look around.
"Yes, Brother Xia Yan, the patriarch and all the elders want you to go back." A Xia family child said in an excited tone, looking a little nervous.
It was also the first time for him to speak to Xia Yan.
"Oh? The patriarch asked me to go back, what's the matter?!" Xia Yan couldn't help but wonder.
"This... we don't know, but today all the elders are back in the family, and it seems that the elders meeting is going to be held." The children of the clan said honestly.
"The Council of Presbyterians? Well, I see, thank you!" Xia Yan frowned, nodded, and immediately smiled at the two of them.
"Brother Xia Yan..." The two looked at each other with a twinkle in their eyes, but hesitated to speak.
"Is there anything else?!" Xia Yan asked with his eyebrows twitching.
"Then...we want...we want to ask you about martial arts!" After hesitating, a Xia family disciple finally gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.
Xia Yan couldn't help smiling, and said: "I may not have time now. I have to go back to see the patriarch. So, come to my courtyard in the afternoon."
The time to stay in Yushui City is only half a month. It is not bad to use this time to improve the strength of the family's children. Besides, my own strength has also reached a bottleneck now, the fusion of martial arts has not made much progress, and the transformation of internal force is only insignificant. Even if it takes more time, there is no big effect.
"Thank you Brother Xia Yan!"
When the two heard the words, they were overjoyed and exclaimed.
"No need to be like this, you are all the children of my Xia family, and the Xia family will rely on you in the future. Alright, I'll go back and see if the patriarch has anything to do with me." After finishing speaking, Xia Yan's feet swayed slightly, and his body jumped in an instant. Ten meters away.
The two children of the Xia family only felt a figure flash in front of them, and then disappeared brother Xia Yan. When they saw Xia Yan again, Xia Yan had already run a hundred meters away.
At this time, another shadow sprang out from the woods and chased after Brother Xia Yan.
"That's brother Xia Yan's dog!"
A Xia family disciple said in astonishment.
A dirt dog. It is really incomprehensible for these two people to have such a speed.
"Let's go back too. Brother Xia Yan promised us to teach us martial arts in the afternoon, haha, now we can become stronger too, that's great." A child laughed loudly with an excited expression.
Ever since the news spread that Xia Yan pointed out a collateral child last time, many children in the Xia family wanted Xia Yan's guidance very much. However, many people dare not go directly to find Xia Yan. After all, there are too many status disparities. Just like these two Xia family children. It was also because the patriarch asked Xia Yan, and they asked Xia Yan to give them advice by the way.
It's just like ordinary Xia family's children, they definitely can't ask the patriarch casually to make demands! Status, especially in a big family. This is something that can’t be helped, otherwise, it would be unrealistic for everyone to be the same.
It is impossible for ordinary children to be equipped with servant girls, which is also a symbol of status.
"Patriarch, why do you want me to go back at this time? Even if it's an elder meeting, it has nothing to do with me!" On the way, Xia Yan was still thinking about this idea.
While drinking tea, Xia Yan entered the north gate of Yushui City.
The Xia family is located in the North District, so once entering the city, it is almost equivalent to arriving at the Xia family mansion.
"Master Xia Yan!"
Outside the door, the guard saw Xia Yan saluting!
"The two big brothers have worked hard!" Xia Yan nodded and smiled.
The forecourt, the meeting hall, the door is open.
Outside the door, four Xia family guards stood upright. These four people are all Xia Yan's elders, and their strength is not weak. Probably, they are all practitioners who have opened up seventy or eighty martial arts meridians.
"Four uncles, the patriarch asked me to come..."
Before Xia Yan finished speaking, the four of them bowed and said solemnly to Xia Yan: "Master Xia Yan, please come in, the patriarch and all the elders have been waiting for you for a long time."
Hearing this, Xia Yan couldn't help being taken aback again.
"Turk dog, wait outside!" After regaining his senses, Xia Yan turned to the dirt dog.
The earth dog let out a low whine, then lay down on the spot, rolling its eyes and sticking out its tongue to look around.
If this earth dog is different from ordinary earth dogs, it is the pair of green eyes. When this earth dog stares at people with its eyes, it is indeed a little scary. Ordinary cultivators can be stared at with horror.
"Stamp..."
Stepping into the conference hall, there was a soft sound.
"I met the patriarch. I met the elders!"
After Xia Yan entered the conference hall, he said respectfully.
This time, it was Xia Yan's second time entering the Xia Family Conference Hall. When I entered the conference hall for the first time, it was completely different from now. At that time, Xia Yan was still a forgotten waste, a waste who hadn't opened up a single martial arts meridian. At that time, the patriarch and all the elders never thought that Xia Yan would become the hope of the Xia family, right
Even the third elder who has the best relationship with Xia Yan never imagined that Xia Yan would have such a day.
In fact, it's no wonder the patriarch and these elders, who would pay too much attention to the hopeless children? This is the same across the continent.
Entering the conference hall again, Xia Yan's state of mind is already different, and the state of mind of the patriarch Xia Feilong and the elders is also completely different.
"Hehe, Xia Yan, sit down too!" Xia Feilong smiled and pointed to a chair on the long table, and said to Xia Yan.
Xia Yan was taken aback, sit down
Only patriarchs and elders are eligible to participate in this presbytery. Even the guardian elders are not eligible to participate. But now, the patriarch let him sit here
In this case…
In Xia Yan's mind, many thoughts emerged for a while.
"Xia Yan, today the elders will have a very important matter to pass, and you need to be present. You, come and sit down too." Great Elder Xia Lai also waved and said to Xia Yan.
In the past, First Elder Xia Lai had sneered at Xia Yan, and Xia Yan's father had disabled the arm of First Elder's son Xia Guqiu, so it's no wonder he would lie to Xia Yan. But now, the situation is completely different.
Xia Lai, of course, hopes that the Xia family will be strong, and now he hopes that Xia Yan can become stronger and stronger and become a spiritual master as soon as possible. In this regard, his wish is the same as that of others!
