After breakfast, Doctor Dong drew blood from Su Yun and said, "Scholar Su, when you were practicing last night, I checked the speed at which you were drawing the heaven and earth's vital energy. Although it still cannot keep up with the speed of your cultivation, the harm is not as great as before. You can practice for a while and come to draw blood every day... Well, check it out."
He handed the blood bottle to Chi Xiaoyao, and the fat doctor smiled gently, "Observe for a dozen days, and you will know whether this set of exercises will harm you."
Su Yun expressed his gratitude.
Chi Xiaoyao whispered, "Teacher, our herbal medicine shop is almost full of his blood bottles. There are not many bottles left."
"Pour out the blood that was drawn before." The fat doctor nodded at Su Yun with a smile and whispered to Chi Xiaoyao.
After breakfast, Su Yun and Chi Xiaoyao walked out of the herbal medicine shop, only to see someone on the street trying to drag the big hand away. Su Yun walked up to it and saw that each of the five limbs of the strange hand had an eye.
There were also several shriveled corpses on the roadside. Judging from their clothes, they should be government servants. They looked like they had been drained of all the water and were shriveled.
"Why did Wu Shentong and General Yutian from the Old No Man's Land attack me?" Su Yun pondered.
"Junior brother, hurry up!" Chi Xiaoyao waved to him.
Su Yun quickly caught up with the girl and asked, "Senior, what does Lao Piaobazi mean?"
Chi Xiaoyao said: "The chief leader of the bandits is called Lao Piao Boss. When bandits rob, it is called adding water. Lao Piao Boss means that this person is in charge. He can scoop the first bucket of water from all the wealth robbed by the bandits and get the first share of the spoils, which is called drawing water. Lao Piao Boss can also scoop water and share the spoils with other bandits. Anyone who can become Lao Piao Boss must have a very high status in the underworld!"
Su Yun was stunned: "So, Zuo Pushe is the chief leader of all the bandits in Shuofang? No, judging from Doctor Dong's attitude towards him, he should be more than just the boss of Shuofang."
He took a long breath, his eyes bright, "Zuo Pushe is his first identity, the owner of the Ten Brocade Embroidery Painting is his second identity, and the old boss is his third identity. Mr. Shuijing said that Zuo Pushe is like an iceberg on the sea, 90% of it is hidden under water, Zuo Pushe should have other identities!"
Chi Xiaoyao came to a shop, knocked on the door, and said to the shopkeeper: "I need a phoenix chariot to go out of the city. I want to rent it for a day."
The shopkeeper opened the door and said, "One hundred coins a day, bring your own food and drink."
Chi Xiaoyao paid the money and said to Su Yun, "Junior brother, this money is yours, return it to me later."
Su Yun nodded.
The shopkeeper took the money and said with a smile, "Please wait a moment, sir. Let me prepare it."
Su Yun and Chi Xiaoyao were waiting in front of the door, but they saw the shopkeeper's body shake and suddenly change. Feathers fluttered out of his body and he turned into a big green bird in an instant!
The big bird was extremely tall, as tall as a three-story building, but it was already very old, with many feathers on its neck having fallen off. It also had a strong demonic aura, and was obviously an old bird demon.
The blue bird used its magic power to carry a dilapidated wooden building on its back, and shouted, "Sir, one hundred coins is the wages, and I also need to provide a day's food!"
Su Yun was dumbfounded, and suddenly came to his senses and asked, "Senior sister, what are we renting the Phoenix Chariot for?"
"After studying, all the scholars in our Wenchang Academy have to go out to gain experience and adventure. Only those who can come back alive can continue their studies."
Seeing his expression change slightly, Chi Xiaoyao chuckled and said, "I am trying to scare you. Most of the scholars can come back alive, and only a few die outside."
“A few died outside…” Su Yun was still shocked.
The old blue bird lowered its head, its huge head leaning beside him, and said with a smile: "Don't you know the rules of Wenchang Academy? The teachers of Wenchang Academy are only responsible for taking students out alive, and never responsible for bringing them back alive."
Chi Xiaoyao shouted, and the blue bird sensed the dragon's might and quickly shut up.
The two got in the car. Su Yun's butt was still a little sore, and he wanted to find a seat to sit down, but he saw that there were no seats in the small shabby building, only a pile of straw.
There were a few smaller bluebirds in the straw, more than a meter tall. They were also a group of little monsters, looking down at them. They must be the children of the bluebirds.
Chi Xiaoyao complained, "One hundred coins a day is too expensive. This man wants us to provide food and he even brings three children with him." Having said that, she still stopped and bought a lot of meat on the street to share with the young birds.
The old blue bird took a few steps, and suddenly its wings fluttered, and it actually took off, carrying them into the sky. Su Yun was stunned, and hurriedly looked down, only to see that they were rising higher and higher, heading towards the Wenchang Academy!
"Li Zhuxian's phoenix chariot can't fly, but this one can actually fly!" He was extremely surprised.
Even though the blue bird was very old, even though the small building was very dilapidated, and there were three little birds inside, the fact that it could fly alone was better than Li Zhuxian's phoenix chariot!
Chi Xiaoyao said, "The Li family's phoenix chariot can also fly, but the bird is not yet an adult. The bird is called the Sky Phoenix, and it is very rare. When it grows up, its wingspan is like clouds. I heard that it can carry a palace and travel a thousand miles a day. It is much better than the one we rented."
The old blue bird carried them into the Wenchang Academy, circled in front of the Shanshui Residence for a few weeks, and then landed slowly, steadily and without any bumps.
Su Yun walked into Shanshuiju and called Huahu and others.
The old bluebird ran two steps with Xiaolou on its back, then flapped its wings and soared into the sky.
Chi Xiaoyao took advantage of the travel time to give a lecture in the small building. He explained today's lessons. Several little bluebirds in the building also listened to the lecture very seriously.
When they arrived at the destination, the old blue bird circled and descended, and there was almost no bumps. Everyone got off the chariot and saw that they were on the outskirts of a mountain range. Thunder sounds continued to be heard from the mountains, and lightning struck the sky like rain.
"This is the Thunder Valley, which is considered a place for the four major palaces to conduct trials."
Chi Xiaoyao led the way and said, "Thunder Valley is a treasure land outside Shuofang City. It is said that an expert saw that there is a treasure mine here, called Flame Dragon Gold Crystal, which is a treasure land left by the Flame Dragon who once slept here. The expert then set up various formations here and refined an extremely powerful spiritual weapon. To date, this spiritual weapon has been refined for more than 150 years."
Huahu looked over there and saw precious light radiating all around, rising into the sky. He was puzzled and said, "It has been more than 150 years, so the master should have died. The spiritual weapon is ownerless, so why hasn't anyone taken it away?"
"Ownerless things?"
Chi Xiaoyao chuckled and said, "Junior Brother Hua, you are too naive! The spiritual weapons in this Thunder Valley are not ownerless. On the contrary, these treasures that look like ownerless are all big pits!"
Huahu was puzzled.
"These natural treasures are often chosen by the ancestors of the aristocratic families. They enclose them and place all kinds of seals and restrictions on them, with many traps, in order to use the natural treasures to refine spiritual weapons and leave them to their descendants."
Chi Xiaoyao smiled and said, "These treasured places are full of dangers. They breed powerful spiritual weapons. When the treasure is unearthed, the light will rise to the sky. Many scholars and spiritualists will be greedy for these natural treasures and come to collect them, but they often become sacrifices."
"Sacrifice?"
Su Yun was also a little confused and asked, "What is a sacrifice?"
Chi Xiaoyao led the way and said, "Of course, it is a sacrificial item. This kind of superior spiritual weapon needs a blood sacrifice to be consecrated. Those who come to look for treasures will become the sacrifices of the blood sacrifice and be killed by various organs and seals to help the spiritual weapon increase its power. The descendants of the family can break into the forbidden seal without any hindrance and get the treasures inside without any danger."
Su Yun and the little foxes were stunned.
"It's not so easy to get the treasures of heaven and earth. You are trying to get the treasures of heaven and earth, while others are trying to take your head as a sacrifice."
Chi Xiaoyao said: "The children of the noble families get spiritual weapons and say that it is their own luck and blessings, but in fact it is left by their ancestors. The worst thing is that these treasures have the rule of more than one in ten miles."
Qingqiu Yue asked, "Sister Xiaoyao, what does ten miles and one more mean?"
Chi Xiaoyao explained: "Ten Miles and One More" means that these treasure lands will refine two spiritual weapons. One is the most valuable, occupying 90% of the energy of the treasure land, and is left to their descendants. The other one or a pile of inferior ones can only absorb and occupy 10% of the energy of the treasure land, and are given to those who come to seek treasure. That's why it's called Ten Miles and One More, and it's a beautiful name that brings blessings to everyone."
Su Yun shuddered and whispered, "How cruel. He was afraid that others would not come to look for treasure, so he used an inferior treasure to attract people to die."
Chi Xiaoyao said: "But if scholars from poor families have this opportunity, they should still try their best."
Li Xiaofan looked up and asked, "Sister Xiaoyao, isn't there any real treasure land?"
"There are 27 treasured lands around Shuofang, all of which are owned by aristocratic families. Not to mention Shuofang, even in the entire Yuanshuo country, there are 3,000 treasured lands, and all of them have been seized by aristocratic families. The emperor of Yuanshuo is the biggest landlord!"
Chi Xiaoyao said: "But this Thunder Valley treasure land is an ownerless land, not the Shuofang family's treasure land. This piece of treasure land should have had an owner before, and it is estimated that the family may have been extinct due to war or other reasons, so many scholars come here to train, intending to find some treasures. I also came here when I first trained."
Su Yun was silent. The three thousand precious lands were all in the hands of the aristocratic families.
The noble families occupy such a huge amount of resources, and they also leave traps for the scholars from poor families to jump in and sacrifice for their treasures.
He looked up at the Thunder Valley and said silently in his heart: "Emperor Yuan Shuo is the largest landlord, but the poor have nowhere to live. Haha, this Yuan Shuo, it is probably not going to get better."
"So we need a boss to rob these families of their wealth."
Chi Xiaoyao seemed to be able to read his thoughts and whispered, "Junior Brother Su, do you want to join the association?"
Su Yun was horrified and turned to look at her. Huahu, Li Xiaofan and others were also furious, but they didn't know about the old boss. They just saw Su Yun furious and they also got furious out of habit.
Su Yun was startled and said, "Senior sister, you..."
Chi Xiaoyao chuckled and said calmly: "I was joking. The Huilonghe Chi family is also a noble family. How could I be a bandit? Isn't that robbing my own family?"
Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief. Chi Xiaoyao whispered, "Master Dong admires you very much. If you join the guild, I can give you the position of the No Man's Land Incense Master. After all, you are also from the No Man's Land."
Su Yun blinked, unsure whether her words were true or false, and Chi Xiaoyao also blinked, smiling without saying anything. She obviously didn't know Su Yun's identity as an envoy, so she took the initiative to recruit Su Yun into the association.
Suddenly, Hua Hu broke the silence between the two and asked, "So, if the scholar comes here to look for treasure, can he find it?"
"The Thunder Valley is a relatively merciful place. The restrictions only hurt people, not take their lives."
Chi Xiaoyao changed the subject and said with a smile, "Moreover, in order to attract people, the Thunder Valley Treasure Land did not take all the Flame Dragon Golden Crystals for itself. People often find one or two broken pieces of Flame Dragon Golden Crystals here, which can be sold for a lot of money. Now that it's a holiday, there must be a lot of scholars coming here to hunt for treasures... Strange, why are the lightning strikes so dense today?"
She looked up and wondered, "In the past, there was only one lightning strike every once in a while, but in the short time since we came here, there have been more than a hundred lightning strikes."
Su Yun looked up. Although it was a cold winter, there was a thundercloud in the sky. Lightning was brewing in it. Thunder struck one after another, striking somewhere in the valley!
Hu Buping asked, "Senior, is it possible that the treasure of Thunder Valley will be revealed?"
"How could it be such a coincidence?" Chi Xiaoyao's face changed slightly after he said this.
I saw a strong and precious light in the valley rising straight into the sky and shining on the thundercloud!
At this moment, Su Yun suddenly asked, "Senior, are you sure that the natural treasures in Thunder Valley are ownerless?"
Chi Xiaoyao was slightly startled and said, "Thunder Strike Valley is not the treasured land of the Shuofang City family. There has been news that the owner of this treasured land has been exterminated."
Su Yun's face was solemn: "Then why did the Shuofang Lin family appear here?"
Zhaizhu: Announcement, there will be no updates in the early morning, and the update speed will be restored to normal.
