Chapter Fifty-One Return (Second Update)
Thanks for the reward from book friend "Da Qin Xianfeng"!
It's estimated that the third update will really be after midnight, which is frustrating. After the third update ends, I'll open a single chapter to say some things. The sleepy brothers can rest early.
————
Outside the stone castle.
Many monks are wandering around here, this is the way to the ancient ruins. Although the passage has been closed, it does not prevent them from observing here. These people, most of whom did not have the heart to go in at first, and some came late.
"What a pity! I was in seclusion at that time. Otherwise, I would have definitely gone in to stir up some trouble!" an old man sighed.
"Go ahead and brag, I saw you watching from a distance that day!"
The air was filled with snickers, and the old man couldn't help but feel extremely embarrassed, his face turning red. Being exposed in public made him very uncomfortable, he turned around and prepared to leave.
The old man had just walked a few steps when he suddenly saw a small black shadow appear on the ground, and then this shadow grew bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger, and then it didn't grow any more.
Boom!
Jiang Xiaoyu lay on the ground, then sat up. This Long Life Tree is really too much, actually putting the exit of the passage in mid-air! It got itself thrown down, but its physical body was indeed powerful, falling from such a high place, and nothing happened to it at all!
"Huh? Why is your butt so low and soft, eh! And it can even move!" Jiang Xiaoyu couldn't help but look down, then suddenly jumped up.
"Wow! Old brother, how did you manage to get under his butt?" Jiang Xiaoyu pretended to be surprised.
It must have been when I fell from the sky and landed on someone else's body. Fortunately, my appearance didn't change back, otherwise I would have lost face big time! Even so, Jiang Xiaoyu absolutely refused to admit it, pushing all the responsibility onto someone else's shoulders!
The old man was so angry that he wanted to cry, but had no tears. He had just bragged a bit, and then got caught out, feeling utterly humiliated. He was about to leave immediately, not wanting to be laughed at anymore, when suddenly someone fell from the sky and landed on him.
Fortunately, I'm quite capable myself, a cultivator of the Dragon Transformation Realm; otherwise, this old body might have been crippled.
What's even more infuriating is that this big, dark-skinned man actually refused to admit it and claimed he was the one who had been wronged! Having lived for so many years, today was the most humiliating day ever! The old man almost spat out a mouthful of blood from anger.
He jumped up, pointing at Jiang Xiaoyu, his whole body trembling. I believe this is not fear, but anger.
"You, you, you..." The old man said three "you"s in a row, but didn't continue.
"Me? I'm fine, are you happy?" Jiang Xiaoyu said with a smile.
"Are you happy? Are you fortunate?" The old man was taken aback, then thought for a moment. Suddenly his face changed, "You're the one who's happy! Your whole family is happy! Is this what I'm discussing with you?"
Jiang Xiaoyu didn't care at all, then leaned in close to the old man and said with a smile: "You're already at an advanced age, you must be calm! If you get angry, it's your own body that will suffer. After all, I'm different from you, I'm full of energy now, and I'm in my prime...
Anyway, all kinds of words are spoken, the topic is directly diverted, and the old man can't catch up with what he threw at his opponent. A bunch of nonsense, plus various self-praise, makes the old man dizzy.
Jiang Xiaoyu saw the situation and thought he could almost collect it, then added a sentence, "To be honest, you're also getting old, I have another spiritual medicine here, although I don't know what use it has, I'll give it to you since you seem to have fate with it!"
As he spoke, Jiang Xiao Yu took out a most inconspicuous herb from the system space and handed it to the old man. The old man dazedly accepted the herb, and when he came to his senses, he found that the dark figure had long since disappeared without a trace.
Others also saw this scene, the black man appeared too abruptly, they didn't have any feeling before. Then the old man was cheated for a long time, they also watched with their eyes, each of them secretly laughing to themselves.
Then some people who were really bored came up and joked: "How can you be so old-fashioned, someone just gives you a broken herb like this, and it's enough to make up for your loss? Let me tell you, we're not troublemakers, but if this happened to us, it wouldn't end like this!"
"Exactly, exactly!"
The rest of the people followed suit, fearing that the world would not be chaotic. However, afterwards, a few people couldn't help but feel surprised for a moment, because they found that the old man was staring at the medicinal herb with great concentration, completely ignoring them.
Is this guy pretending to be profound? Several of you look at me, I look at you, and for a moment, no one knows what's going on.
After a while, the old man suddenly burst out laughing, "Haha!"
"Damn it, won't he become mentally ill?" several people exclaimed in surprise.
Several people hastily retreated a few steps, they were only in the Cloud Ascension realm after all. This old man was still a strong practitioner in the Dragon Transformation realm, and once he went crazy, that would absolutely be a dangerous existence!
The old man didn't notice the movements of several people at all, but gently stroked this spiritual herb, reluctant to let go. "I didn't expect it to be a wake-up grass, and it's even three hundred years old."
Spirit Revival Grass, over 300 years old! Several people were shocked at once. The effect of Spirit Revival Grass is multifaceted and it's a kind of auxiliary herb required by many mainstream elixirs. If you add some Spirit Revival Grass to the elixir, when taking the elixir, it can nourish your spirit and prevent spiritual decline.
Young monks are better off, full of energy and don't have to worry too much about their mental health. But older monks are not necessarily so, already old and weak, no longer as brave as they used to be, and this wake-up grass is the best medicine for them!
The higher the year, the more amazing the effect of Ginseng is. Now on the market, most of the ginseng are ten years old, twenty years old, and the best ones are only fifty years old at most. Moreover, the price is astonishingly high, with no market to match!
"You're kidding, right? You think you can fool us with your three hundred years of age?" Several people didn't believe him at all and immediately shouted loudly.
Some people also came over after hearing this. It's been too boring waiting here for a while, and looking at the situation in the distance, it seems like something interesting is happening.
"How could I have been mistaken! Just the other day, I went to purchase some wakefulness grass!" The old man puffed out his chest and glared, seemingly very dissatisfied with the other person's words.
The onlookers have already guessed what happened, the 300-year-old one from before, and now another wake-up grass. A 300-year-old wake-up grass! Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
No wonder it can make a strong man in a dragon-changing secret realm so flustered, no wonder, no wonder!
To prove himself right, the old man took out the wake-up grass and showed it to everyone. "Look at this pattern on top, not one more or less, that's fifty years! There are six of them here, if it's not three hundred years, what is it?"
"Hey, this herb was just given to you by that black guy, and he fell from the sky, coming suddenly. Do you think he just came out of an ancient relic?" asked one of the men who had been there earlier with curiosity.
The old man smiled with satisfaction, put away the Wake-up Grass, cleared his throat, and seemed to have regained his lost face. He said with an air of confidence: "In my estimation, it's unlikely. Shi Huang opened up a passage, even the master of Xuanfeng Mountain couldn't do that. Who else in the world could? I reckon this kid got it from some deep mountain or ancient forest and didn't recognize its value, so he gave it to an old man like me."
Everyone thought about it and agreed that tomorrow is the day when the passage opens, and those people will return. It's impossible for someone to come out ahead of time.
……
……
"Ah-choo!" Jiang Xiao Yu rubbed his nose, and couldn't help but think of who the hell was cursing him.
He has now transformed his image, from a dark and robust man to a sunny and elegant young man. I guess if he beats someone to death, no one would believe that he is the same person as the dark and robust man.
Whether it's temperament, language, or appearance, they are worlds apart and completely different classes!
The sunshine is bright and beautiful in the sky, facing the sun, Jiang Xiaoyu stretched out a lazy waist, and it's still more comfortable outside.
The next day, a loud explosion broke the tranquility outside the Stone City!
The passage is open, and everyone is about to come out of the ancient relic! A group of people curiously gathered around, staring intently at the passage, wondering who would be the first to emerge! Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaoyu stood outside the crowd, smiling quietly as he waited. He knew that his life of pretending to be a tiger eating pigs was about to begin again.
In ancient ruins, he might be an invincible existence, but in the outside world, he is always a small person with 108 acupoints. Dealing with some junior cultivators at the Cloud Ascension realm can still work, but above the Cloud Ascension realm, he probably has no way to cope.
A strong foundation, divine power directly cultivated to the highest level, this is Jiang Xiaoyu's greatest reliance. However, those geniuses' potential for growth was enormous, once their divine power achieved some success, and then took it a step further, they would close the gap with Jiang Xiaoyu, or even surpass him!
The Golden Winged Peng Bird currently has the Great Peng King Fist at a small success stage, within the realm of Yun Tian Jiu Chong Tian, it can burst out with 100,000 divine ability indexes. If his Great Peng King Fist were to advance further?
"It's out!"
A light flickered inside the passage, appearing and disappearing intermittently, hinting that someone was about to emerge from it!
The first one to come out was not a world-renowned genius, but an unknown old man. He had just stepped out of the passage and looked around to his left and right before quickly disappearing into thin air.
This old man Jiang Xiao Yu is no stranger, I remember beating him up once! The other party left directly, and he let out a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, the second and third ones also came out of the channel. They didn't dare to stay, keeping a distance from the channel. Because they knew that there were still large troops behind, but they didn't want to be squeezed away directly by those behind!
"Master!" Qin Feng came out and looked around, then saw Jiang Xiaoyu, and immediately rushed over!
Qin Feng's body had several more scars, and his face looked even more resolute. This time entering the ancient ruins, he really grew a lot, and his experience also increased greatly. Although it was only a month since they last met, for some reason, when he saw his master, he felt an urge to cry.
"Silly kid." Jiang Xiao Yu lovingly patted his head.
At this moment, he felt as if he was picking up a long-lost good friend at the train station, with a very complicated mood. There were always some things that made him think of the earth involuntarily.
"Senior!"
Jinchi Dapeng Bird, Purple Flame and others also came out, breaking the atmosphere that made people shed tears.
"Damn it, what a terrible sight!" Jiang Xiaoyu cursed in her heart.
