"call--"
Exhaling, Xia Xiao prepared himself. He had failed three times, and this time he had to condense the Yuan Qi seed and advance to the Condensation Seed stage.
Xia Xiao was quite satisfied with his training speed, no one could be like him. And now he had a steady breath and abundant vitality, so it didn't matter if he went a little faster, he didn't mind!
"Use your vital energy to attract each other, and wrap each other up!"
This was the key point Shu Shuang summarized after condensing the Yuan Qi Seed. Xia Xiao repeated it again and prepared to try it out.
Shu Shuang condensed the vitality seed the second time, which surprised Xia Xiao. Even his gifted elder brother tried six times, and only succeeded in condensing the vitality seed on the seventh try. Although Xia Xiao couldn't break Shu Shuang's record, he might try to challenge his elder brother's!
Concentrating and calming his mind, Xia Xiao was free of distractions. The expectations of his family became his motivation, and he immersed himself in darkness. This was the spiritual sea of a person, where the seeds of vitality were stored. Immediately, after Xia Xiao selected a point, this dark world had a little light, like a star shining alone in the night sky, very unique.
After one point was confirmed, the vitality came from all around. This time Xia Xiao was not in a hurry, but connected them together according to Shu Shuang's method and his past three experiences. The vitality had no hands, and it was possible that it could be connected in series by relying on the weak induction between each other, and then repeatedly surrounded, like a circle of light wheels.
When all the energy was like a halo, with not a single trace left, Xia Xiao slowly gathered them together. This process had to be slow, the slower the better. Xia Xiao was very patient, watching them come together to form a fist-sized ball of light.
The next step was condensation, the most critical step to form the vital energy seeds. Xia Xiao made a mistake in his third attempt. If he made another mistake, Xia Xiao would have to spend several days resting and recovering, so he carefully used his perception of the vital energy to condense them repeatedly.
When the fist-sized ball of light turned into the size of a fingertip, a wave spread in Xia Xiao's spiritual sea, like a faint ripple of life.
Feeling this special ripple of life, Xia Xiao was a little excited. He knew that he had succeeded. If his father and elder brother knew, they would definitely be happy for him.
"call--"
After exhaling a breath of foul air, Xia Xiao did not exit the state of cultivation, but seized the precious time and formed a "He" seal with his hands.
The first moment of entering the seed condensation stage, the vitality seed will generate a suction force to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth. The more vitality is injected, the shorter the time required for the vitality to be watered in the future, and the faster it will germinate and enter the young age of the noble realm. So Xia Xiao hurriedly took the time to absorb all the vitality of heaven and earth into his body.
Entering the Condensation stage did not cause much noise, and would not be known to the whole city, but there would be earth-shaking changes in the cultivator's body. Xia Xiao felt that his muscles and bones were harder and more flexible, and he could mobilize more vital energy, which was several times more than before. His perception of the vital energy of heaven and earth during breathing was also much stronger, and the speed of absorbing vital energy was also faster.
The feeling of just being promoted was great, and Xia Xiao happily used his vitality to fill up the vitality seeds. When he felt that he could not go on any longer, he withdrew his hand seals and opened his eyes.
A sharp light flashed in his eyes, carrying with it the cold and abundant vitality that turned into a wave of air, smoothing out the wrinkled quilt.
Xia Xiao adjusted his breath before going out. Seeing Shu Shuang waiting for him, he said happily:
“Success!”
Xia Xiao stretched out his hand, and there was vitality surrounding it. This was the condensation seed, which could release a large amount of vitality. Shu Shuang saw it and smiled from ear to ear. Xia Xiao walked over slowly, opened his arms, and gently hugged her.
"Thank you Shu Shuang, you have made the greatest contribution."
Shu Shuang hugged Xia Xiao with her backhand and leaned in his arms gently and obediently.
After Xia Xiao failed twice in a row, it was Shu Shuang who had been analyzing and encouraging him. Shu Shuang played an indispensable role in Xia Xiao's success this time.
"The day after tomorrow will be the Spirit Hunt. I am a little curious about what realm they have reached.?"
After Xia Xiao finished speaking, they set off on time the day after tomorrow morning.
It was still dark when Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang came to Tianfu Kitchen.
Ding Qiang and Xiao Si were busy moving some fruits and food into the car. When they saw Xia Xiao coming, they immediately greeted him.
"I'm sorry to trouble you again!"
During dinner yesterday, Xiao Si took the initiative to ask Xia Xiao if he wanted to participate in the spirit hunting. For a young and promising expert like him, participating in such activities is to earn spiritual medicine. Xia Xiao did not hide it, so Xiao Si said that he would take their car. Xia Xiao thought it was feasible. Although they had horses, riding a horse was not as good as taking a car, and the latter could close his eyes and rest.
"Brother, you are really weird. If it weren't for you, I might have died a long time ago. Come on, get in the car!"
Ding Qiang greeted them and sat with Xia Xiaoshushuang. After a while, Xiao Si also got on the car.
With four people in one car, it seemed a bit cramped. Shu Shuang's legs almost touched Ding Qiang sitting opposite her every time, which made her feel a little uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything.
"Why did you pull so much stuff?"
The carriage started slowly. Xia Xiao looked out the window and saw that there were three carriages from Tianfu Kitchen, all of which were full of things.
"Little brother, you don't know that this spiritual hunting ground is far from our Rongcheng, but there are many people participating. It's in the wilderness, there is nothing to eat, and it's hard to even get a sip of water, so Xiao Si and I prepared some extra food and sold it over there. No matter how high the price is, there will always be people who buy it."
Xia Xiao nodded. It was true. There were always people watching the fun everywhere, and they made money from those people.
"By the way, the city lord's people haven't looked for you, right?"
Xia Xiao was always worried that people he had contact with would be targeted, so he was very cautious. Ding Qiang and Xiao Si were so kind that he couldn't refuse them, but he couldn't hurt them either. When they got to the place, they left immediately.
"Don't worry, little brother. With your identity, and ours being a small business, nothing will happen."
"Yeah, I've never provoked anyone since I opened the shop, and I don't work under someone else like Huiyue did. It's okay!"
When Xiao Si said this, Ding Qiang stared. He was really talking about something that was not relevant!
"I'm sorry, little brother."
"fine."
Xia Xiao said, closing his eyes, but his brain did not stop thinking. Lin Jing was quite patient. As for Huiyue, Xia Xiao had asked about her some time ago. Her family had returned to normal, and she didn't have to go to the Fighting City. It was still a good thing, but it had nothing to do with Xia Xiao now!
Seeing Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang close their eyes, Ding Qiang and Xiao Si also calmed down. They didn't understand what cultivators were doing, so they just looked out the window. The other three carriages were all driven very steadily, so that was enough, but the fruits wouldn't fall.
Gradually, the road out of Rongcheng was filled with traffic, all heading in the same direction.
A hundred miles northwest of Rongcheng is the site of this spiritual hunting. This is the entrance to the Wild Beast Forest, where there are many spiritual medicines and wild beasts, and countless herb hunters stop at the sight. Even if you go in, you will have to exchange your life for medicine. But today is different. Tens of thousands of people gathered today, in addition to Rongcheng, there are also people from Linxicheng.
At this time, countless parasols were opened, and small shops began to compete for positions. It was a first-come, first-served basis. Xia Xiao and his friends left early, so they still had a good spot.
Tens of thousands of people gathered together, making a lot of noise, even louder than the vast and boundless wild beast forest. Ding Qiang and his brothers started moving the goods, and Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang came to sign up.
Originally, Xia Xiao didn't want Shu Shuang to participate, but he vaguely felt that there would be trouble, so it was better for them to go together.
Standing in a remote corner, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang, fully armed, leaned against each other and looked at the hustle and bustle of the world. Some people were busy taking seats, some were busy doing business, but the best seats were empty because they belonged to the lords of Rongcheng and Linxi.
The open space in front of the forest was worn down by the annual spirit hunting, and the few blades of grass were trampled flat by the crowd. In contrast, the dense wild beast forest was deep and terrifying, and no one knew what was hidden.
Xia Xiao stared at it for a long time, and it was hard to imagine how vast the Wild Beast Forest was. On the continent, the Southern Business Empire had the largest territory, and the other was the sparsely populated Goulong Bang clan. Then there was the Wild Beast Forest. This land, which was even larger than the Great Xia Dynasty, was a mysterious country, inhabited by the earliest inhabitants of the Great Wild World - the Wild Beasts!
The forests that humans have explored are just the tip of the iceberg. No one knows what is in the deepest part of the forest. But my father said that the deeper you go into the Wild Beast Forest, the more abundant the vitality is. In the center of the entire Wild Beast Forest is a lake of holy springs, which is like a clean mirror that can reflect the evil in people's hearts. The vitality contained in it is enough to subvert the whole world. But no one knows whether it is true or not, and no one has ever walked there!
"It's almost time, they should be here too!"
Xia Xiao looked outside the crowd, the people from Rongcheng and Linxicheng, it’s time to arrive!
The crowd was noisier than before. But soon, a powerful wave of vitality suddenly spread out, covering everyone. When this aura spread to Xia Xiao, his eyes condensed and he felt a murderous aura.
"I'm afraid today won't be easy again."
"The city lord is going back on his word. We can no longer tolerate this."
Shu Shuang clenched her fists, feeling a little angry. These people were too stupid, they kept holding on to Xia Xiao, not knowing how important the latter was. If it were her, she would either not provoke him or make friends with him.
"Since he ignored the warning, we don't need to be polite."
Xia Xiao frowned, and his eyes turned cold.
"The Lord of the City has arrived——"
