Chapter 775: Three Feet of Ice

After drinking and chatting with Jing Chu, Xiao Mian asked about the current situation of his old friend in Nanyue Prefecture.

The reason why Jingchu was able to accompany Qingqiuzi to Chu County this time was because he came on behalf of the Five Elements Sect - it turned out that he and Jin Lang had joined the Five Elements Sect a few years ago.

Nowadays, Jing Chu is already at the middle level of the Golden Core cultivation level. The Golden Wolf cultivation level is slightly lower, but he has successfully formed the pill and is cultivating various spiritual beasts in the Five Elements Sect.

Huangfuling is also the first level of Jindan cultivation.

As for Fu Qingjue and Xiao Chuqing, they haven't formed pills yet.

What makes Xiao Mian happy is that although her younger sister Xiao Chuqing has not formed a pill, she has already reached the peak of the foundation building stage. With time, there is hope that she can form a pill.

Fu Qingqiong, on the other hand, was always busy with chores and wasted his time after all.

There are other people in the Five Elements Sect who have come from behind, but those people are either half-way monks or rising stars, and Xiao Mian is not familiar with them.

Instead, Xiao Mian asked about old acquaintances in Wan Zong City.

Ding Kaishan, a peasant, was lucky enough to form an elixir, but he was only at the elementary level.

Bai Zhenzhen has also formed an elixir, and has been trapped in the primary stage of the golden elixir.

Bai Jintang and Hong Lianhua both broke through to the high level of Jindan not long ago, and it is said that they are fighting against the demon clan at the Chishui River defense line.

The most outstanding disciple of this generation of Taoism is Yin Jiansheng, a high-level Jindan disciple.

As for the other outstanding disciples among the nine major sects, most of them have one or two people who successfully formed the elixir, and the outstanding ones are only at the intermediate level of the golden elixir.

To Xiao Mian's surprise, Xi Yingyan, the beloved son of Zong Jun, the chairman of the famous sect, has no sign of forming a pill...

From this point of view, if the celebrity stream wants to continue, I am afraid it will have to be replaced by someone else!

After listening to Jing Chu's summary, Xiao Mian was silent.

From Xiao Mian's current perspective, the overall strength of the younger generation of monks in Nanyue Prefecture is far weaker than that of other places.

Not to mention that the huge Zhongzhou has one city, three borders, seven counties, and eighty-one states. Chu County or Qin County alone is not something Nanyue State can compete with. Even the young monks in Xianyang City or Tianxia City are enough to outnumber the young monks in Nanyue State. Kill them all in one generation.

This is not only a difference in quantity, but also a difference in quality.

Now it seems that the strongest among the young generation in Nanyue State is the high-ranking Jindan.

Yin Jiansheng, Bai Jintang, Honglianhua, plus Xiao Mian, they were just four people!

But looking at Tianxia City, there are two quasi-Nascent Soul monks alone, and there are even more than ten top-level Jindan monks among the younger generation!

With such a huge disparity in ratio, the number of Nascent Soul Ancestors created by the two sides in the future is naturally very different!

As time goes by, the strong become stronger and the weak become weaker.

Nanyue Prefecture's reputation for being weak is actually three feet of ice, not a day's cold!

If you want to change this status quo, it cannot be achieved by one person or one group.

Maybe I will be poor all my life, but I'm afraid I won't be able to achieve the wish in my heart...

But if you don’t try, how will you know?

Seeing that Xiao Mian was silent after listening to his words, Jing Chu thought that he felt the pressure from the younger generation in Nanyue Prefecture, so he also remained silent.

After that, the two just drank and talked.

"That's right! Then Yin Jiansheng, you have to be more careful!"

"What? Jingchu, have you ever fought against him?"

"No! I would like to fight him, but he..."

"I understand! He must have declined on the excuse that you are not at the intermediate level of Golden Core, right?"

"Where is the polite rejection? That is a naked rejection!"

"It's not difficult to understand! Even Senior Qingqiu calls him the Sword of the Overlord. You can imagine how domineering this Yin Jiansheng is, but it's just too much and not enough, which may not be a good thing!"

"Never mind these things! The way he looks at you is extraordinary! I heard that he had fought against Bai Jintang and Hong Lianhua before. Although the results are unknown, everyone has speculated that both of them were defeated by Yin Jian is born under the sword!"

"Oh? Is this happening? Is it possible that because of this, Bai Jintang and Honglianhua went to the Chishui River to learn from Yin Jiansheng in slaying demons?"

"This..., it's hard to say!"

"I understand! He doesn't like you as an intermediate Jindan, but he likes me as a high-level Jindan. If he defeats me, he will be the well-deserved number one in South Vietnam!"

"So, he won't give up!"

"Tch! I'm injured. He's so arrogant, how can he still win?"

"..., can you still be injured?"

"..., can he keep pestering me?"

"It's hard to say! It's really hard to say!"

"..."

At this time, Xiao Mian realized that Yin Jiansheng was also a trouble!

But soon, Xiao Mian put it behind him.

trouble? snort!

If you want to be abused, can I stop you?

Not to mention high-level Jindan monks, even top-level Jindan monks were not looked down upon by Xiao Mian.

If Yin Jiansheng openly asked for a fight like today, Xiao Mian would naturally block him if he could; but if he really pushed too hard, Xiao Mian wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson.

It's better to be taught a lesson by me than to be humiliated by a monk from Chu County, right?

After drinking for three rounds, Xiao Mian was thoughtful.

"Brother! Are you still using that Wushang Sword?"

"This is natural! I will only practice one sword for a lifetime!"

Wushang Sword, a flying sword at the top level of magic weapon, was Jing Chu's sword back then.

Xiao Mian shook his head with a wry smile on his face.

"What's that expression on your face? Don't underestimate my Wushang Sword! Since I joined the Five Elements Sect, I have more spiritual materials at hand. I have already refined this Wushang Sword to the level of a magic weapon. Don't be greedy when you see it..."

As he said this, Jing Chu took out the Wushang Sword and handed it to Xiao Mian like a treasure.

Seeing this, Xiao Mian was moved and sad.

You must know that for sword cultivators, flying swords are their second lives.

Jing Chu handed him the Wushang Sword, which was equivalent to handing his life to Xiao Mian.

It was just a flying sword of the initial magic weapon level, but Jing Chu valued it so much. Not only were the cultivators in Nanyue Province weak, but the equipment level was also poor...

Under Jing Chu's expectant gaze, Xiao Mian couldn't refuse Jing Chu's face, so he took the Wushang Sword and examined it carefully.

Sure enough!

It was just a common quality, low-level magic flying sword...

But perhaps because Jingchu had been practicing Taoism, he had been refining the Wushang Sword, so the spirituality of the Wushang Sword was rare.

Nodding, Xiao Mian returned the Wushang Sword to Jingchu without leaving any trace.

"Not a bad flying sword!"

Although it was a bit against his will, Xiao Mian kept it in mind when he saw Jingchu's sincere smile.

There were flying swords higher than the Wushang Sword in Xiao Mian's white jade flying pendant. He could probably grab a handful of them at random.

But Xiao Mian also knew that Jingchu was always arrogant.

Giving him a bottle of wood gold that day had already made Jingchu feel uneasy. If it wasn't for the wood gold that Jingchu couldn't refuse, he might not have easily accepted it.

Now, even if Xiao Mian took out a flying sword that was better than the Wushang Sword, whether Jingchu would accept it was one thing, but if it wasn't good, the two would have a rift...

Instead of doing this, it would be better to take it slowly in the future.

Anyway, according to Qingqiuzi's implication, they seem to be staying in Chu County for a year.

During the year, Xiao Mian must find a way to make Jingchu change his clothes.

Otherwise, even if Jingchu's own strength is enough to challenge the higher-level, holding the Wushang Sword, facing the high-level Jindan cultivator holding the middle-level magic weapon, there is really no chance of winning...

After that, Jingchu said goodbye and left, and Xiao Mian was alone in meditation.

After talking with Jingchu today, Xiao Mian realized the weakness of Nanyuezhou more and more.

To change this situation, Xiao Mian must make greater efforts than expected before.

Xiao Mian's strength must be stronger!

In this world of cultivation where the weak are preyed upon by the strong, Xiao Mian must occupy more high-level cultivation resources, whether they are unowned or owned...

Just like the Taiyin Youguang, Xiao Mian is determined to get it!

But considering the time, it is only the end of the year, so there is no rush.

Another thing is the whereabouts and safety of the Huo brothers and sisters.

Not to mention that these two people have the secret treasure of the Nine-Fingered Thief, the amazing talents of the brother and sister, one light and one dark, are enough to cultivate two Yuanying ancestors for the future of Nanyue Province!

Xiao Mian made up his mind that he must rescue the twins and then let them take Qingqiuzi's favorable boat back to Nanyue Province.

If necessary, Xiao Mian even planned to use Qingqiuzi's power.

I think with the vicious eyes of Qingqiu's ancestors, he will never let the Huo brothers and sisters go!

But that Wan Dongyao...

I have to make good use of my current identity.

But before that, I still have to repair the bruises in my body.

There was nothing to do around, Xiao Mian took out a small golden brocade bag while repairing his injured body.

This thing was the storage magic weapon left by Jin Bakong.

With Xiao Mian's ability, he naturally couldn't open the storage magic weapon of Jin Bakong, a Yuanying ancestor, after all, it was sealed with Jin Bakong's consciousness.

But now Guitou is also a Yuanying ancestor, so naturally he can't be stumped.

Although Guitou's Yuanying was imprisoned in a human-shaped puppet by Shancai Tongzun, this did not prevent Guitou from using his spiritual consciousness.

During the ten days of returning north, Guitou secretly cracked Jin Bakong's storage magic weapon.

In addition, he also cracked the storage magic weapons of Chi Mei and Bailian Zhenjun, who Xiao Mian had obtained for many years but had no time to deal with.

There was no treasure in the string of Buddhist beads of Bailian Zhenjun. What really caught Xiao Mian's attention were the secret books that Mieyuan gave to Bailian Zhenjun.

After putting them all into his white jade flying pendant, Xiao Mian took Chi Mei's hairpin.

When he opened the hairpin, even Xiao Mian was shocked.

This Chi Mei is really a landlord's wife in the true sense of the word!

Although Chi Mei and Bai Lian Zhen Jun are both quasi-Nascent Soul cultivators, her wealth is much greater than that of ten Bai Lian Zhen Juns...

After thinking about it, Xiao Mian was relieved.

One of these two people is a terrifying corpse refiner, and the other is a beautiful woman. No matter who has a treasure, they will not give it to Bai Lian Zhen Jun!

Thinking about the grand occasion of Fox Ji Ridge, it is obvious that Chi Mei has often hooked up with various Jindan cultivators. While collecting yin and yang, she has also killed and robbed people.

However, today, Xiao Mian's vision has risen. Even though Chi Mei is quite wealthy, there are only a few things that really catch his eye.

Most of them are raw spiritual materials.

"Huh? What is this?"

It was a crystal clear small porcelain bottle that caught Xiao Mian's attention.

Holding it in his palm, Xiao Mian saw through the transparent bottle wall that a clear spring-like liquid was flowing inside. When he shook it, there was a lively sound.

"Don't look! This is what you have been looking for but haven't found!"

"What Guitou said... Wait! Could this be a seventh-level water-attributed spiritual material!?"

With a thought in his mind, Xiao Mian looked at the small glass bottle with a sudden eager look...
