Wei Daier pursed her lips and said faintly, "This is the topographic map of a Secret Territory in the Desolate Mountain Range. It was drawn by a team leader of the Green Wolf Regiment. They accidentally entered a dangerous place, and it was said that there was a powerful spirit beast that was at least rank three or above guarding the place. All fifty of their team members died under the claws of the spirit beast. In the end, the team leader escaped by relying on his wind attribute. The map that he drew fell into my hands."
Wei Daier knew that she could no longer fool Ling Xiao, so most of what she said was the truth.
"Secret Territory?"
Ling Xiao was startled when he heard this, but he immediately understood. He had read a lot of information about this continent in the Ling Family's library, so he more or less understood the meaning of this term.
A Secret Territory referred to a place where a powerful martial artist passed away. There would be all the savings of a martial artist, including mystical techniques, weapons, elixirs, and even a lifetime's inheritance.
The first three items were enough to make many people go crazy, but the last item was probably the dream of everyone.
Thinking about this, Ling Xiao was a little tempted.
Whether it was mystical techniques, weapons, or elixirs, Ling Xiao would never complain about having too many of them. As for the inheritance, he was a person who had transmigrated, and he had the memories and inheritance of his previous life. As long as he returned to his previous life's standard, he would also be a super expert.
Ling Xiao glanced at the route on the rag again and forced himself to memorize the route. He then threw the rag back to Wei Daier and said, "A gentleman does not take what others like. I'll return it to you. Look at the look in my sister's eyes. She really treats me as if I killed your father. Sigh, to think that I stood up for you just now. It's hard to be a good person in this world!"
Wei Daier grabbed the rag and stared blankly at Ling Xiao. She really did not dare to believe that this young master of the Ling Family was not interested in the topographic map of the Secret Territory. This was the existence of a Secret Territory, and even the patriarchs of the various families would be tempted by it. Did he not know what a Secret Territory was?
"Good sister, don't stare at me like that. I will be shy." Ling Xiao's face actually turned slightly red as he spoke.
Wei Daier spat in her heart and kept the rag in her arms again.
"Okay, little brother is going home. I hope that the next time we meet, big sister will remember to treat us." Ling Xiao waved his hand and took Hu Liu and Hu Qi downstairs.
Wei Dai 'er looked at Ling Xiao's elegant figure and was slightly dazed. Something seemed to have stirred in her heart, and she immediately thought of something. She ran to the window and shouted at Ling Xiao who was already downstairs, "Bastard, return the Scarlet Scarlet Fruit to me!"
"Good sister, take this as a gift for my younger brother." Ling Xiao waved his hand and smiled without turning his head.
"Bastard!" Wei Dai 'er stomped her feet and shouted. She then jumped down from the building and left in another direction.
…
An hour later, a group of burly men riding handsome horses appeared in front of the Flavor Fragrance Inn. There were almost a hundred of them, and every one of them looked fierce. When the ordinary citizens saw them, they hurriedly hid in their houses.
A few men jumped off their horses and quickly ran towards the dilapidated Fragrant House. After a while, one of them ran out and arrived in front of the most majestic Level 1 Low Grade Flaming Horse. He said to the sturdy man wearing a set of cyan armor who was riding on the horse, "Reporting to the team, the vice team leader, he … He's dead."
"What? Speak clearly!" The man on the horse shouted without showing any anger.
"The deputy team leader is dead."
"Bastard!" The man on the horse shouted. He then pushed off the horse's back and leaped towards the second floor of the Flavor Fragrance Inn like an eagle spreading its wings.
This man was the leader of the Green Wolves Mercenary Group, Green Wolf. He was the elder brother of Hei Lang and had the terrifying strength of a high-level Mystic Warrior. He was also one of the top experts in Meteorite City. His mercenary group already had more than five hundred people. In Meteorite City, no one dared to provoke the Green Wolves Mercenary Group except for the big families.
Green Wolf looked at Hei Lang's expression and clenched his fists. His knuckles made cracking sounds as he raised his head and roared, "Wei Dai 'er, you b * tch, I will definitely make your Cold Snake Group disappear from Meteorite City."
…
In the Ling Family's inner courtyard, the Fifth Elder was discussing a secret matter with the Second Elder, Ling Mo.
"Big Brother, are we just going to wait like this?" The Fifth Elder sat at the side and said to the Second Elder with a gloomy expression.
"Then what do you want?" The Second Elder took a sip of his tea and asked indifferently.
"In my opinion, we should kill that bastard as soon as possible," the Fifth Elder said with a fierce look.
"Hmph, do you think I don't want to?
Right now, he has the Tiger Guards to protect him. Moreover, that old bastard loves him very much. How can he allow anything to happen to him? If we overreach ourselves, everything we have done before will be for naught, "the Second Elder said impatiently. He paused for a moment before saying," Just bear with it. When the time comes for the competition between the big families, I will take back everything that I have lost. "
The Fifth Elder glanced at the Second Elder and sighed heavily. He did not say anything else.
In fact, he understood that his big brother was right. However, he really did not want to see that bastard grow up. When he thought of this, he felt that the kid would become their nightmare in the future. If he did not get rid of him as soon as possible, he would not be able to rest easy.
"Alright, you don't have to worry about this anymore. Hurry up and urge that old bastard to quickly refine the medicine. We only have one year's time. Whatever he needs, try to satisfy him," the Second Elder ordered.
"Yes, Big Brother."
…
Ling Xiao received the second tier mid-tier Scarlet Cinnabar Fruit from Wei Daier and returned home happily.
Along the way, he sighed with emotion. This Scarlet Vermillion Fruit was a good thing!
Ling Xiao had already memorized the 《Catalogue of Spirit Herbs》. When he saw the Scarlet Vermillion Fruit for the first time, he immediately recognized it.
This Scarlet Vermillion Fruit had the effect of increasing the Profound Energy of a martial artist with the fire attribute. It also had the effect of raising the purity of the fire attribute. It was also a spirit fruit that was commonly used to refine medicine. If he sold it, he would be able to sell it for at least a few thousand gold coins. Its value was not any lower than that of a Mid Second Tier weapon.
The Scarlet Vermillion Fruit might not be of much use to the current Ling Xiao. However, this kind of spirit fruit was not difficult to obtain. If he really could not use it, he could sell it and make a small fortune. It could be considered as the price that Wei Dai 'er had to pay for using him.
After returning, Ling Xiao stored the Scarlet Vermillion Fruit together with the other things that he had obtained from the Grand Elder. Then, he began to cultivate his Profound Energy.
After today's battle, the Profound Energy that he had accumulated for many days began to change. He felt that his Profound Energy was already sufficient to break through to the Mid Rank.
For any martial artist, the higher the Martial Rank, the greater the amount of energy required and the slower the advancement speed would be.
Even though Ling Xiao was talented, it was not as easy to break through to the Martial Disciple level as it was to break through to the Martial Disciple level.
Ling Xiao meditated and began to circulate the first stage of the Three Parts Returning to Vitality Technique, "Essence Formation".
The Three Parts Returning to Vitality Technique was divided into three stages and nine stages. Each stage had three stages. The first stage was "Essence Formation", the second stage was "Crystal Formation" and the third stage was "Nothingness".
The first stage, "Essence Formation", was divided into three stages: Internalizing Qi, Opening Meridians and Opening Acupoints.
Currently, Ling Xiao was using the Cloud Pushing Force, Divine Wind Technique and Heavenly Frost Qi as the foundation to guide the three different types of inner strength to transform into the Three Parts Returning to Vitality Technique. He repeated this process endlessly to increase his Profound Energy. This was also the first stage of internalizing Qi.
It turned out that Ling Xiao could condense Profound Energy and become a Profound Practitioner after opening the twelve main meridians. Now that he was practicing internalizing Qi, it was even more beneficial for him to accumulate Profound Energy and make it easier for him to break through.
The three types of inner strength guided each other into his body. From time to time, Ling Xiao's face would show an indescribable color, appearing extremely strange.
After two hours of meditation, a faint white mist faintly appeared around Ling Xiao's body. The Profound Energy in his body had already reached the bottleneck.
If he didn't break through now, then when would he!
Ling Xiao increased the speed at which he circulated his Profound Energy. The balls of Profound Energy were like waves that constantly surged forward, layer by layer stacking together and attacking the bottleneck.
Boom boom boom!
All the Profound Energy gathered at one point and after a series of attacks, he finally broke through the bottleneck. The Profound Energy began to nourish his limbs and bones, as well as his internal organs.
Ling Xiao only felt that his entire body was extremely comfortable. The strength in his body was increasing exponentially and his entire person was even more spirited than before.
"The middle stage Profound Practitioners have finally arrived. They're really too slow." Ling Xiao wiped his sweat and laughed lightly, then he muttered to himself in dissatisfaction.
If his words were heard by others, they would probably spit and drown him to death.
Fuck, this kind of breakthrough speed is still considered slow? Didn't everyone else collectively hit the wall?
Normally, for a low level Profound Practitioner to break through to the middle stage from low level Profound Practitioner, it would take at least a year or two, and this was only for those with decent talent. Those with poor talent might need three to five years to break through, and those without talent might not even be able to break through in their entire lives.
The Three Parts Origin Returning Technique was a very domineering internal cultivation technique. Adding on his own astonishing talent and hard work in cultivation, the three were combined into one. His cultivation speed was naturally several times or even tens of times that of a normal person. This kind of cultivation speed could be compared to a monstrous existence.
If it was someone else, they would be overjoyed every day, but this fellow was actually complaining about it. It would be strange if he didn't cause public anger.
After an uneventful night, the east gradually brightened.
Early in the morning, Ling Zhan ran to the courtyard and laughed wildly.
"Brother Zhan, don't laugh so loudly. You're disturbing Xiao 'er's sleep." Meng Xiyun looked at her husband with a joyful expression.
"Father, mother, what's so happy about?
Eh, father, you've become a Profound Practitioner? "Ling Xiao came out from the room and asked. He then glanced at his father and finally understood why his father was so happy.
"Yes, son, father has become a Profound Practitioner again. Haha!" Ling Zhan was like a child who had received candy as he laughed crazily.
"Congratulations father, looks like we can add another dish today." Ling Xiao was happy for Ling Zhan.
"Yes, let us father and son have a good drink today. But first, you have to exchange a few moves with me." Ling Zhan replied and then threw a punch at Ling Xiao.
"If you lose, don't blame your son for embarrassing you." Ling Xiao's reaction was extremely fast, and before Ling Zhan's attack could reach him, he had already retreated.
"We are at the same level. Although you broke through a month earlier than me, father does not necessarily lose to you." Ling Zhan was full of fighting spirit as he said.
He had once cultivated to the peak of the Profound Practitioner realm, so he still had his battle experience and Profound Techniques. He believed that he would not lose to his son.
"Since that's the case, then come. Mother will be the witness." Ling Xiao revealed a victorious smile.
Even if he was only a low level Profound Practitioner, he had full confidence that he could defeat the current Ling Zhan. Not to mention that he was now a middle level Profound Practitioner, and his strength was much stronger than a normal high level Profound Practitioner. Even if he faced a Profound Practitioner, it would not be a problem for him to stay alive.
"You dare to look down on your father? Watch this!" Ling Zhan pounced over once again, and this time his fist was even faster and fiercer than before.
No matter what, Ling Xiao would still give his old man some face. He did not directly knock him down, but instead suppressed his strength to exchange blows with his old man.
Their fists and legs intertwined, letting out a series of whistling sounds.
The more Meng Xiyun watched, the more gratified she felt. Her family was finally no longer trash.
The two of them fought bare-handed for an hour.
Ling Zhan stopped and said with dissatisfaction, "You're not bad, I can't beat you."
"Hehe, father, you're not bad either. Your son can't beat you either." Ling Xiao did not want to hurt his old man, so he had been going easy on him during the fight.
"Alright, let's call it a day. After I recover for a few more days, I will definitely be able to beat you," Ling Zhan said confidently.
"It's impossible for you to beat him." A hoarse voice came from not far away.
