On a somewhat desolate hill.
Bai Yunfei looked at a map in his hand solemnly, frowned slightly, and murmured to himself.
"Well, this 'Cha' means there is a small town, it should be right; this 'circle' means there is a mountain, it should be right; this 'line' means there is a river; this A thicker 'line' represents a major road..." Bai Yunfei's eyes seemed to move bit by bit on the map, nodding slightly as he spoke.
After "studying" like this for a long time, Bai Yunfei's face became more and more ugly. Finally, his whole face turned purple, and he looked extremely angry. He slammed the map in his hand to the ground, jumped and cursed.
"It beats your lungs! Then why am I still lost!!"
Bai Yunfei stepped on the map again in frustration. He looked up at the seemingly endless mountains and woods around him and felt like crying.
"It seems that it is more reliable to ask someone for directions..."
Bai Yunfei shook his head helplessly and continued walking towards the north. All he knew now was the 'north'...
Five days had passed since setting off from Baifeng City. Bai Yunfei didn't know how he walked into this deserted area. Anyway, he was just walking and found that the map in his hand was completely useless.
It was not until the first day of the new year that Bai Yunfei was walking on the mountainside of a big mountain and almost went crazy. He decided that if he couldn't see anyone after reaching the top of the mountain, he would not leave tonight and sleep in the open again. Continue on the road tomorrow.
When he was about to reach the top of the mountain, Bai Yunfei suddenly stopped in his steps and was stunned. Then he sniffed with some uncertainty, and then showed a look of ecstasy.
"It smells of barbecue! So, there are people on the mountain! Finally... finally met other people!" Bai Yunfei was so excited that he almost had tears in his eyes. He immediately quickened his pace and rushed towards the top of the mountain.
… …
On the top of the mountain, an old man wearing a gray robe with white beard and hair was sitting under a big tree, slowly spreading various condiments on a fat rabbit that was being roasted on the fire. prepare dinner.
However, what is incredible is that a ball of flame in front of him is actually floating in the air! There was no firewood such as branches, just a roiling flame floating in the air two inches above the ground! Moreover, the roasted rabbit hanging above the flames was also floating out of thin air without any support!
If ordinary people saw this scene, they would definitely think they were seeing a ghost.
The old man lowered his head slightly. Although he was taking care of the roast rabbit in front of him, his mind did not seem to be on it. His brows were slightly wrinkled, as if he was mumbling something.
"According to the guidance of the soul of life, that place should be in Qingyun Province. However, I have been searching for more than two months, but I have no clue and I haven't found any clues..."
"If I can find that place, my strength will definitely be able to break through the last barrier, and I can even train a group of masters for the sect. I will be more confident about the catastrophe that our sect will face in the future..."
"However, we should not peek too far into the secrets of heaven. If it goes beyond the scope of 'positive luck' and enters the level of 'change of luck', it may make things even more unpredictable. This matter is related to the survival of our Tianyun Sect. Don’t allow too many accidents…”
"Oh! Then I can only take one step at a time. If I have such a fate in my 'good luck', there will always be a chance to find a trace. By then, who will I...?!" The old man who was whispering to himself suddenly suddenly He raised his head, and there seemed to be a flash of fire in his eyes, and he looked at a clump of trees on the left.
There was a faint "rustling" sound, and a young man slowly walked out, it was Bai Yunfei.
"It's you!"
"It's you!"
Bai Yunfei, who had just walked out, and the old man sitting under the tree, exclaimed in surprise after seeing each other's appearance.
Bai Yunfei looked at the old man illuminated by the firelight opposite, his face full of surprise, and he even forgot to move forward - the person in front of him was the person who gave him the space ring in the first place, saying that he was the one who could "solve the calamity" The mysterious old man of the Yun Sect that day!
"Haha, little guy, why are you here?" A question woke Bai Yunfei up, and he saw that the old man had recovered from his surprise and was looking at him with a smile.
Bai Yunfei looked at the old man with strange eyes, then slightly glanced at the flames and roast rabbit floating in front of him, his eyes flashed, then he straightened his body, gave a deep salute to the old man, and said respectfully: "Bai Yunfei" Fei has met senior."
The old man was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said with a smile: "Well, not bad, not bad, polite. Much better than when I first met you."
“…”
"Haha, come and sit here. You look like you are on your way?" Seeing that Bai Yunfei was a little embarrassed, the old man smiled even more, waved to him and asked.
Bai Yunfei followed the words and sat down opposite the old man, looked at the rabbit that was already roasting on the flames, swallowed slightly, nodded and said: "Well, this junior plans to go to the outside world to have a try. "
For some reason, Bai Yunfei felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy when he saw this old man this time. Perhaps it was because after he became stronger, he finally understood how much good fortune the old man in front of him had given him...
"Well, this Qingyun Province is too small. Go out and see the world of real strong men, and you can grow up faster. In the future..." At this point, the old man seemed to have thought of something, and did not continue. Go down, but changed his question and asked: "But, are you a little impatient? The space ring I gave you contains all the cultivation methods of the third level of the beginning. You should wait until you are stronger before considering these. By the way , I remember you had revenge to take, but now... could it be..."
"Yes." Bai Yunfei nodded, "Thanks to the cultivation techniques, soul skills and soul tools given by the senior, I can avenge my great revenge so easily. In addition, the junior is precisely because he has reached the middle stage of the soul warrior. Thinking about getting out of this world and pursuing stronger strength..."
"Oh, that's it. I've reached the middle stage of Soul Warrior. I can indeed..." The old man's casual words were only halfway through, but he stopped abruptly. He suddenly raised his head and stared at Bai Yunfei, the indifference on his face disappeared, and his eyes It even stood out slightly, with a look of disbelief on his face, "You said... what state did you say you reached?!"
"What's wrong in the middle stage of the Soul Warrior?" Bai Yunfei looked at the old man with some doubts, and then he seemed to understand something, and continued with some embarrassment, "Actually, I also want to wait until the late Soul Warrior, when I become more proficient in acupoint manipulation. The only reason I left was because something happened and I had to..."
Before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly blurred. At a speed that Bai Yunfei could not imagine, the old man flashed in front of him and grabbed his wrist. Before Bai Yunfei could recover, he felt a sudden rush of energy. With a little warmth, the extremely powerful soul power poured into his body. In just a moment, it traveled around the body. Bai Yunfei even felt as if his soul had been penetrated by it.
Bai Yunfei was stunned by the old man's sudden move and froze there. After the old man grabbed his wrist, he also froze there. For a moment, the atmosphere seemed a bit strange.
"Senior... Senior?" After more than ten seconds, Bai Yunfei finally couldn't help shouting weakly.
"Really... I'm really in the middle stage of the Soul Warrior. How is it possible..." As soon as he spoke, the old man suddenly reacted, but he seemed to be a little distracted by the stimulation and murmured.
"Huh? Wait, this is... ice elemental power! Little guy, are you injured?"
