The quiet scene in Sangye Village aroused Lin Xiaofei's curiosity, so he couldn't help but approach.
The closer you get, the quieter Sangye Village seems.
However, he had a vague sense of unease in his heart.
Lin Xiaofei gradually approached the houses in the village. He glanced at the dusty wooden doors that were tightly closed and the paper windows that were torn and tattered. Through the cracks in the windows, he felt as if a pair of eyes were watching him from inside the dark house.
He glanced at another old room, and from the darkness emanating from the cracks in the room, he felt a gaze fixed on him, making him feel vaguely uncomfortable.
"Why does this Mulberry Leaf Village seem so strange?"
Lin Xiaofei muttered to himself, then unleashed his mental perception, sensing that many things were rushing towards the old room, seemingly a large group of worms or other wild beasts.
Suddenly, the words "strange beast" flashed through his mind, his expression changed, and he suddenly turned and ran.
A large swarm of gray-black worms crawled over quickly, like an army of ants charging forward. Without hesitation, Lin Xiaofei produced three beast-repelling pills and threw them directly in front of the swarm of worms.
Soon, the snakes panicked and scattered, avoiding the beast-driving pill and taking a detour.
Lin Xiaofei circulated his internal energy and ran wildly without even glancing back. He knew that there was a group of unusual long snakes and wild beasts behind him, and if he stopped, he would likely face a life-or-death battle.
He ran through four or five mountain forests and returned to Xiepo Village. When he saw the villagers walking around, he stopped and took a deep breath.
"A swarm of long-snake beasts? No, it should be that some powerful alien beast has controlled those long-snake beasts, thus taking over the entire Mulberry Leaf Village."
Lin Xiaofei looked slightly nervous and thought to himself.
Previously, Zhang Yugui's cultivation records stated that once a powerful beast could be cultivated, it would be possible to control all wild animals within a ten-mile radius. In his cultivation records, he also wrote that if one encountered a group of wild animals in the mountains, it was possible that some special beast in the mountains was controlling the group of wild animals.
Under the control of the alien beast, the beast pack absorbs a small amount of the beast pack's blood to grow stronger. At the same time, the beast pack also grows stronger because of the alien beast's presence, and powerful beasts will gradually emerge from among them, evolving into alien beasts with great strength.
It is said that even a mid-level martial artist would likely be surrounded and killed if they entered such a pack of wild beasts.
However, his mental perception was very strong. As soon as he sensed a large number of things rushing towards him, he turned around and ran away.
Fortunately, he did not venture too far into Sangye Village and did not encounter any strange beasts; otherwise, he might have had to fight a major battle or hide inside the spatial bead.
"Mother, I remember there's a village called Sangye Village over in Jiuliwan, right?"
Lin Xiaofei returned to Xiepo Village, picked up his parents' belongings, and headed towards Qingshan Town. Back at his new home, he casually asked his mother a question, pretending to be nonchalant.
The Jiuliwan he mentioned is where Sangye Village is located.
"There is a village called Sangye Village, but it is said that no one dared to approach that village three years ago, and that everyone in that village has disappeared."
Moreover, it seems that there is a group of man-eating beasts in that village, and almost no one who passes through the village can escape. This is something that several nearby villages know about.
By the way, why are you asking about this? You absolutely mustn't go.
Hu Baihe spoke calmly, then suddenly turned her eyes to Lin Xiaofei and gave him a reminder.
"I definitely won't go, I was just asking casually."
Lin Xiaofei quickly replied with a smile.
Even his parents knew that Sangye Village was dangerous, so naturally he wouldn't risk going there.
"A pack of wild beasts has taken over the entire Sangye Village. If the leader of that pack continues to expand, will they come to Xiepo Village to harass the people here? It's hard to say."
Lin Xiaofei thought to himself that it was best if his guess didn't come true.
Although he wanted to eliminate the pack of beasts, his own strength was limited, and he did not want to take the risk.
The village of Sangye has a large number of wild beasts. Even if he can kill some of them, he can't withstand the siege of the entire herd. Besides, he estimates that the beast at the back of the herd is not simple. After all, even a mid-level martial artist would suffer if he encountered it.
For the next few days, Lin Xiaofei did not practice martial arts, but instead chatted with his parents and took them shopping for New Year's gifts.
......
The morning was cool, with mountain clouds swirling around, and tiny, translucent dewdrops dotting the green trees and flowers.
From time to time, the chirping of birds and insects can be heard in the woods and mountains.
In the woods near the stream at Xiaoyunpo in Qingshan Town, a handsome young man slowly circulated his internal energy, as if he were practicing some extraordinary technique.
This young man was tall and straight, dressed in gorgeous yet thin clothes. There seemed to be a surging power flowing within him. His eyes were sharp, but he seemed to quickly conceal his divine light. If someone were to take a closer look, they might not be able to help but say, "What a handsome young man!"
The young man slowly rose to his feet, a long sword hanging at his waist, with a silver-white scabbard and an emerald-like hilt—a true young swordsman's posture.
This young man was none other than Lin Xiaofei.
Time flies like an arrow, and three short years have passed.
Now, his strength has long reached the peak of ordinary martial artists. In the past three years, he has already exchanged for the Crimson Copper Body Technique in the gang and cultivated it to the perfect state.
However, within the gang, he displayed exceptionally high talent. Everyone knew that his strength had reached the early stage of the mid-stage of ordinary martial artists and the early stage of the flesh-refining stage. Moreover, his martial arts level had caught up with Guo Zishan, a genius from the Qingfeng Gang branch. Guo Zishan had joined the gang four years earlier than him and was a well-known genius within the gang, but he had been overshadowed by Lin Xiaofei.
Of course, this was an arrangement that Lin Xiaofei had made beforehand. Without revealing some of his strength, it would be insufficient to demonstrate his martial arts talent as the number one in the Qingfeng Gang branch.
Within three years, his physical strength will be enough to exceed two thousand catties with a casual wave of his hand.
In terms of martial arts techniques, he exchanged for a Red Copper Body Technique from the sect. In terms of martial skills, he cultivated a Light Cloud Step movement technique and an Eight Winds Sword Technique.
Besides his progress in martial arts, he has also made great strides in cultivating immortality.
He cultivated the Dew True God Technique to the mid-stage of the third level of Qi Refining, and mastered two other spells, the Smoke Technique and the Earth Wall Technique.
As for the methods of alchemy in the "Brief Record of a Hundred Herbs", he has mastered them all.
Lin Xiaofei is quite satisfied with his abilities.
"Through three years of steady progress, my strength has improved every day. To outsiders, my martial arts have made amazing progress, even beyond their imagination."
However, I felt it was still a little slow, but overall, everything went smoothly.
Lin Xiaofei felt his own power and thought to himself.
