Chapter 1,301: Race Against Time

After the final result of the Tiandu Martial Arts Conference was announced by Wanzong Sheng, the Wanzong City, which was bustling with people in the past, fell into silence in an instant.

Then, the whole Wanzong City was boiling...

For ordinary Nanyue cultivators, they did not know the various inside stories that happened in the Tiandu City Conference, and they were not related to the so-called "Nanyue Xiao Mian".

But——share the glory!

Nanyue Xiao Mian, ranked second!

That was the Tiandu Martial Arts Conference that the five states of the world were looking forward to!

In the Nanyue cultivation world, although there were various rumors about the Tiandu Martial Arts Conference, there were also many ambitious people who wanted to participate in the once-in-a-century Jindan Competition.

However, there were only a few who actually made it.

Not to mention Tiandu City, many Nanyue cultivators were trapped in Nanyue for their entire lives, and those who could go to Xishuzhou for a stroll were already rare.

Now, when they heard that a cultivator from Nanyue Province had won the second place in the Tiandu Martial Arts Conference, all the cultivators from Nanyue Province who had some ambition were shocked.

This was the original intention of Wan Zongsheng to make a fuss!

After this incident, the deeds of Xiao Mian from Nanyue - Xiao Mian from the Five Elements Sect, were dug up again by the gossipers, who talked about them with relish and chattered about them...

As the person involved, Xiao Mian saw through Wan Zongsheng's intentions with a turn of his eyes. He shook his head, changed his appearance, and entered the Jubao Pavilion again.

In the inner hall of the Jubao Pavilion, Xiao Mian met Chi Lianxia as he wished.

However, Chi Lianxia looked at Xiao Mian with a dazed look at him at this time.

Wan Zongsheng obviously got the news earlier than Chi Lianxia, ​​so that Chi Lianxia only just knew about Xiao Mian's amazing performance in the Tiandu Martial Arts Conference.

Twenty years ago, at the sword fighting conference for new cultivators from Nanyue Province, Chi Lianxia still had the strength, confidence and confidence to compete with Xiao Mian.

Ten years ago, in the Tianxia City of Chu County, although Chi Lianxia knew that she could not defeat Xiao Mian, she did not think that there would be much difference, at least she thought so.

But now, looking at Xiao Mian again, Chi Lianxia felt that she could not defeat him.

Although Chi Lianxia was busy with the affairs of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, she was also devoted to Taoism. In addition, she was originally a half-demon with the blood of the Red Snake King. The cultivation resources provided by Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce were amazing. She was loved by both the Chi Lian Family and the Xie Family. Chi Lianxia's cultivation speed was also amazing. Although she was not as strong as Jin Weili, she was also very strong.

Unexpectedly, at the same time, Xiao Mian left her behind alone!

"Sister! Do you understand what I said?"

"Ah? What?"

Waked up by Xiao Mian's words, Chi Lianxia suddenly realized that she had been distracted.

Shaking her head, Xiao Mian took out a jade slip and several storage bags, threw the jade slip to Chi Lianxia, ​​and pushed the storage bags to the opposite side of Chi Lianxia.

Just as Chi Lianxia was puzzled, Xiao Mian revealed his thoughts.

"These storage bags contain some supplies that I can't use for the time being. I hope that you can help me distribute them properly. With the spiritual stones you get, please buy the supplies listed in the jade slip for me. If there is any surplus, just deposit it into my account!"

After saying that, Xiao Mian turned and walked out of the inner hall.

Seeing Xiao Mian's back, Chi Lianxia subconsciously activated the jade slip in her hand.

The next moment, Chi Lianxia's face changed drastically!

It's no wonder that Chi Lianxia was shocked. The supplies listed by Xiao Mian were too amazing!

All of them were seventh-level spiritual materials, and some of them were even eighth-level goods...

This kid!

Is this kid trying to extort money?

Just to buy all the spiritual materials listed in this jade slip, it would cost a sky-high price of spiritual stones. How dare he say that there is a surplus?

What kind of treasures can he shake out from these storage bags?

Angry, Chi Lianxia stretched out her hand and opened one of the storage bags.

When Chi Lianxia saw the contents of the storage bag clearly, she was stunned.

Then, Chi Lianxia opened the storage bags that Xiao Mian pushed in front of her one after another, and the expression on her face became more and more colorful.

At the end, Chi Lianxia exhaled heavily.

"This kid! This kid... Did he go to Zhongzhou to rob?"

Even with Chi Lianxia's vision, she was shocked when she saw the supplies in Xiao Mian's storage bags.

After comparing them with the supplies listed on Xiao Mian's jade slip, Chi Lianxia calculated in her mind and came to a conclusion.

Once all the supplies in these storage bags were sold, in addition to collecting all the supplies on the jade slip, Xiao Mian could also get a huge amount of spirit stones at a sky-high price.

Conservatively estimated, that was also a huge fortune of 100 million middle spirit level!

After all, the supplies in the storage bag were of the highest quality, and even Chi Lianxia couldn't help but feel jealous.

But thinking about it again, Chi Lianxia finally suppressed her thoughts.

Although Xiao Mian didn't say where these things came from, Chi Lianxia could guess roughly - nine out of ten, they were all obtained by Xiao Mian through murder and robbery!

If it were put out in the open, it would be a bit inappropriate.

It seems that how to swallow this big deal needs to be carefully considered...

Let's put Chi Lianxia aside, let's talk about Xiao Mian, who had already been teleported from Wanzong City to Wanxiangzhai in Lingchuan Market through the teleportation array in Jubao Pavilion.

Wanzong City is no less than tens of thousands of miles away from Wuxing Gate, while Lingchuan Market is only a few thousand miles away from Wuxing Gate - a few thousand miles, for Xiao Mian now, it just flashed by!

Even if he got the method to save Fu Qingqiong from Wanzong Saint, even if the ancestor of the Bai family agreed to help him refine the Soul Searching Pill.

However, Fu Qingqiong's souls have been scattered for more than a month.

Seventy-seven days, less than nine days...

To save Fu Qingqiong, Xiao Mian must - race against time!

Without hiding his whereabouts, Xiao Mian pushed the power of the universal flywheel to the extreme, turned into a red and blue two-color streamer, and rushed straight to the Five Elements Mountain.

The mountain gate was approaching, but Xiao Mian's speed did not slow down.

Surprisingly, the Jindan cultivator in charge of guarding the mountain gate in the Five Elements Gate saw Xiao Mian's red and blue two-color streamer, and instead of blocking it, he let it go.

Hum!

With a hum, Xiao Mian entered the Five Elements Gate and headed straight for Bibotan.

Although there were still only a few people in Bibotan at this time, it was no longer the same as before.

Xiao Mian found Huangfu Ling, explained Fu Qingqiong's affairs a little, and asked Huangfu Ling to stay in Bibotan and protect Xiao Chuqing, and then took Fu Qingjue away.

Xiao Mian was not worried about Xiao Chuqing's safety.

On the surface, Huangfu Ling was in charge of Bi Bo Tan, and in the dark, Gui Tou was protecting Bi Bo Cave.

Not to mention ordinary Jindan cultivators, even Dan Qiu Sheng, the head of the Five Elements Sect, could not get the upper hand from Gui Tou.

Moreover, Xiao Mian got a piece of news from the previous conversation with Wan Zongsheng.

When Wan Zongsheng rushed to Luohua Valley from the Endless Ocean that day, Wan Tianfeng, the leader of the Demon Shadow Sect, had disappeared.

The Demon Shadow Sect had been wiped out, and Wan Tianfeng was a dog that had lost his home.

How could a dog that had lost its home, a mid-level Yuanying ancestor, be allowed to return to the mountains?

At that moment, Wan Zongsheng strictly ordered the scholar to eliminate all evil!

As for Luohua Valley, Wan Zongsheng did not even look at it...

After this incident, the Demon Shadow Sect, one of the three major sects in Nanyue State, disappeared!

As a result, the most powerful Demon Shadow Sect, which originally belonged to the sphere of influence of the three major sects, collapsed, and a power vacuum of the largest scope appeared.

For Wanzong City, it may be a bit out of reach.

But for the Five Elements Sect and Falling Flower Valley, which belong to the three sects of Nanyue, the fall of the Demon Shadow Sect is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

For Dan Qiusheng now, how to gain the greatest benefits in the shortest time is his top priority!

As for Xiao Mian or Bi Bo Tan, I am afraid he has no time to take care of them...

Sure enough, just like when he came, when Xiao Mian left, no one stopped him.

In this way, in just a moment, Xiao Mian brought Fu Qingjue to the Bai family.

The ancestor of the Bai family did not think so much. He led Fu Qingjue, who looked like a medicinal material, into his special alchemy room and began to refine the soul-searching pill.

Although Xiao Mian was anxious, it was useless.

With a thought in his mind, Xiao Mian walked and stopped in the old house of the Bai family.

At first, some cultivators from the Bai family were staring at Xiao Mian, either openly or secretly, but in the face of Xiao Mian's elusive shadow escape, they returned empty-handed.

Finally, Xiao Mian arrived at a courtyard without anyone noticing.

Aomeizhai!

Looking at the door lintel in front of the courtyard, Xiao Mian took a deep breath and walked in with his head held high.

The courtyard was deep and the cold air was pressing.

Xiao Mian didn't care and just rushed all the way.

Hum!

A cold snort burst out quietly.

Along with this cold snort, a layer of bone-chilling coldness came to his face.

Xiao Mian curled his lips and smiled quietly.

First, he didn't use his strength, and second, he didn't make any gestures. Facing the biting cold that was enough to make ordinary Jindan cultivators change color, Xiao Mian was not afraid and tried it himself.

Where the cold passed, not a speck of dust was alarmed.

"..."

Deep in Aomeizhai, there was silence.

The next moment, a beam of ice light bombarded towards where Xiao Mian landed.

Facing the azure ice light, Xiao Mian ignored it and took a step forward.

The ice light was swift, but his footsteps were steady.

With a crisp sound, the ice light shattered, and his feet stepped on the ground.

It seemed that the ice light hit his footsteps, but in fact, it was his footsteps that crushed the ice light.

"Who are you, sir? You were able to sneak into the Bai family's old house without anyone noticing. Could you be the newly hired Jindan guest of the Bai family? What's going on? Are you interested in my simple Aomeizhai, Shen Aomei, and are you going to replace it?"

As he spoke, a figure in white appeared in front of Xiao Mian.

Shen Aomei!

Facing Shen Aomei, Xiao Mian bowed.

"Disciple Xiao Mian, I pay my respects to Uncle Shen!"

"It's you? You kid..." Shen Aomei recognized Xiao Mian at the first sight, not to mention that Xiao Mian saluted her respectfully? After only looking Xiao Mian up and down, Shen Aomei still couldn't suppress the shock in her heart: "You kid, you are really amazing!"

Although Shen Aomei has cultivated to the top level of the Golden Core, she has not yet condensed her consciousness. Compared with Xiao Mian, there is a world of difference...

Thinking back to the past, in Aomei's studio, Shen Aomei could make Xiao Mian pay with just a flick of her finger.

I didn't expect that in just twenty years, everything has changed!

Shen Aomei was secretly confused, but Xiao Mian revealed his purpose.

"More than a month ago, my master rashly brought about a great heavenly calamity, failed to succeed, and unfortunately died. I wonder if my uncle knows about this?"

"..., what if he knows?" Awakened by Xiao Mian's words, Shen Aomei frowned slightly and said to herself coldly: "Hmph! I advised her at the beginning, but she insisted on doing it!"

"How dare the disciple! I don't know why my uncle advised her?"

"When a person dies, the light goes out. There is no point in talking about the past!" Shen Aomei, who was always cold and aloof, showed some sentimentality. But soon, she said to Xiao Mian coldly: "As a disciple, is this how you pry into the master's privacy? Humph! Don't think that just because I can't beat you now, you can be disrespectful to your elders!"

"Disciple dare not!" Bowing, Xiao Mian said respectfully: "There are four disciples under my master's seat. The eldest sister Huangfu Ling has successfully formed a pill. , as long as we practice steadily and steadily, the chances of successfully condensing the infant are not rare; Second Senior Sister Fu Qingqiong has suffered a disaster and her life and death are unknown, so let's not talk about it; I am ranked third, not as good as the top, but better than the bottom, so I dare not trouble the master to worry about it; only the little junior sister..."

"Are you talking about the girl with ice spirit roots?"

"..., Master knows?"

"Humph! It's hard not to know!" Shen Aomei took out a branding stone in a bad mood and threw it to Xiao Mian. Xiao Mian took it and activated it.

The next moment, an ice-blue figure flashed in the branding stone...

The Fairy of the Blue Sky - Leng Ningyu!

When Xiao Mian saw it, his expression changed slightly, but he still paid homage.

Once a teacher, always a father. Leng Ningyu was in front of him, how could Xiao Mian dare to be rude?

Even if it was just an illusion...

When the spirit curtain on the branding stone was dispersed, Xiao Mian stood up.

At this time, Xiao Mian had a solemn face and was full of excitement.

Just because, in the branding stone, Leng Ningyu spoke sincerely, entrusting Xiao Chuqing to Shen Aomei - after all, Shen Aomei is the contemporary successor of Hanbing Dao!

Obviously, Leng Ningyu had already found a way out for Xiao Chuqing before he died.

Xiao Mian is the brother, Leng Ningyu is the master, a master and a brother, a coincidence.

"She has never said soft words to me in her life! I originally thought: only that stinky man can make her soft-hearted, but now there is another stinky girl!" While speaking, Shen Aomei took back the branding stone with a casual move, and put it in her arms with great care, and then said to Xiao Mian calmly: "Don't worry! Even if you don't come to beg me, I will not give up that girl - after all, this is her last wish!"

"..., thank you, uncle!" After bowing again, Xiao Mian said softly: "I met fellow Taoist Chi Lianxia, ​​the manager of Jubao Pavilion, before, and she complained to me that Tongbao Pavilion is in need of reconstruction and lacks manpower, so she asked me to help her find some excellent Jindan masters!"

"Hmph! You kid! It's just like she said: cunning as a ghost! But it's true! Wuxingmen is not a place to stay for a long time after all! How can the Bai family be a paradise?"

"Master, did you agree?"

"You have planned it all, why should I disagree? Let's go!"

"This... so urgent?"

Seeing Shen Aomei brushing her sleeves and leaving Aomeizhai, Xiao Mian was a little dumbfounded, thinking that you have lived here for decades, and you don't have any property?

Besides, Xiao Mian is now begging the Bai family's ancestor to refine the soul-searching pill. It's not good to poach the guest of the Bai family.

However, Shen Aomei is so hot-tempered and doesn't go back on her word.

In desperation, Xiao Mian had to bite the bullet and follow her out...
