After watching the two girls leave, Xia Xiao began to practice. He sat cross-legged in the courtyard, and the five elements and demonic energy in his body began to absorb the source energy of heaven and earth. Whenever he started to practice, an obvious cyclone would appear. The cyclone suddenly appeared above his head, like an unusually large funnel, allowing the source energy in the universe to flow in.
Xia Xiao stood under the funnel, absorbing the power into his body, nourishing every inch of his skin, allowing every muscle to gain new and stronger power. This was a process that he never tired of and could continue for a long time, allowing Xia Xiao to absorb the power in moderation, so that the sunlight could not shine on his body, and he was completely isolated from the source of energy.
When the cyclone was discovered by the people of the Desolate Palace, they all stood on the roof and looked over here. They didn't know who was practicing to cause such a big commotion. But that direction made the elders and disciples who didn't know where Ke Yiyuan was subconsciously think of Xia Xiao and A Zhu.
"They should be the only ones who can make such a big noise."
"As expected of you, Lord God."
"No, what I meant is that this is Master Xia Xiao practicing."
Everyone didn't understand at first, but soon figured it out. It must be Xia Xiao, because people at Ah Zhu's level, even if they made a big noise, would not be easily seen by their naked eyes. How could they be so strong? However, Xia Xiao's level was obviously inconsistent with the noise at this time, but the Lord Zhu Shen beside him was not a vegetarian.
Whenever they saw something unusual, everyone would think of Ah Zhu, and thus they would have the utmost respect for him, which also made the people in Jishidiang more obedient. At this time, they were watching with a keen eye, and even a little terrified. One person came behind Su Ran and asked her:
"How deep is this realm?"
Su Ran shook her head, because she had never seen it before. In the courtyard of Ke Yi, Ah Zhu was holding a sour plum, eating while watching Xia Xiao practice, basking in the sun leisurely, and didn't want to move at all. She felt that she had become lazy. If the master saw her like this, he would definitely teach her a lesson. At that time on the mountainside, she was punished with a lot of punishments, but she just couldn't recite the text.
Touching his right arm, Ah Zhu murmured playfully:
"Master, I'm so powerful now, you let me be lazy. And it's not that I don't like practicing, it's that I'm waiting for Xia Xiao, hehe..."
She hummed a little tune and gradually fell asleep. When she wasn't paying attention, the lines on her right arm emitted a metallic luster, like a sign of approval.
This is what happens when the warm sun shines on the body. The feeling of sleepiness cannot be stopped at all. But Xia Xiao on the side is still full of energy and continues to absorb the source energy. This process is still boring, but everything is the same as before. The five elements space is gradually widening. As for the depth where Xia Xiao is, it is already the bottom of the sea for cultivation.
People on the shore can only see the waves on the sea, and it is difficult to see the efforts of the people under the sea. But Xia Xiao's perception has expanded unprecedentedly at this time. Being able to calm down like this and practice for the sake of practice is a good state. When Xia Xiao relied on habit to absorb the origin energy, his perception continued to spread.
Perception is like seeing with the eyes, and what you see is extremely clear. Xia Xiao set out from Keyi Courtyard, transformed into hundreds of figures, and walked along different stone roads. He walked on the roads in the deserted palace, and also walked along the corridors, looking at the flowers and plants in the courtyard, and the maids who kept coming and going among them.
"Do you feel the wind?"
“Is it strange to have wind?”
The maid frowned, always feeling that there was a wind, but it came quickly and left quickly. She didn't pay much attention to it, but just made bold guesses with the people around her.
"You think that Master Zhushen likes sour food so much? Is she pregnant?"
"Don't spread rumors, or you'll lose your head. Besides, Master Xia Xiao has said that Master Zhushen is greedy and likes to eat everything. Maybe he'll like spicy food tomorrow."
"Too……"
If Xia Xiao heard it, he would definitely find it funny, but he sensed that the figure he transformed into had already entered the Five Elements Hall.
The scale of the Five Elements Hall is almost the same. Although it is not grand, it is already very good for a newly built deserted hall. Xia Xiao entered one by one and saw that the people in the five halls were practicing and taking the spiritual medicine and holy fruit distributed some time ago. He thought it was good. These people are very motivated at the moment, which is obviously what he wants to see.
Then, Xia Xiao entered Jishitang, which was in charge of the sacred fruits of spiritual medicines. It was a place that ordinary disciples could not enter directly, but it was well organized and not as Xia Xiao had imagined. Su Ran and others naturally did not dare to play tricks now, after all, there was Candle God in the Desolate Palace, and they had a burden.
The disciples in Jishitang had the same status as the disciples in Wuxingtang, but in addition to daily practice, they also had to undertake corresponding work, such as the simplest planting of medicinal herbs. Each of them had a small piece of land under their control, where they planted a variety of medicinal herbs, but there was no restriction on the use of the land, after all, it was an internal rule of Jishitang.
Therefore, they planted medicinal herbs on a large scale, which was a compulsory course for every Jishitang disciple. They would keep some of those medicinal herbs for use in Huangdian. The existence of Jishitang and its elders, in addition to managing the sacred medicinal fruits, was also largely for making medicine.
If a force wants to grow bigger and stronger, a pharmaceutical department is essential. This is the only thing Su Ran can think of that he can do for the Desolate Palace, and the other elders cannot follow suit. As for the rest of the medicinal materials, of course they will be transported back to Jishi City, where there will never be too many medicinal materials.
Using source energy to grow medicinal herbs can make them grow very fast, but this is not a new thing. Xia Xiao just took a few glances and left. He didn't care how the people of Jishitang thought about him, as long as it didn't harm the Huangdian. If that was the case, he would definitely not let them look bad.
Now there are no external enemies in the Desolate Palace, but there are some internal conflicts and potential hidden dangers. Xia Xiao was worried all day, but this time he got a good understanding through this opportunity. He was considering whether the Desolate Palace could leave him and Azhu, and the most important thing was of course the latter. The result was naturally yes, but when he walked into the hall, Yu Shangyan immediately turned his head.
In the main hall, Yu Shangyan was processing another batch of resources sent by the Heavenly Palace. She personally calculated how much and then handed it over to Jishitang. But the wind beside her seemed to be coming, but she couldn't sense it, so she frowned and didn't care too much. Xia Xiao soon left, and many figures walked in the corridor of the deserted palace, and then returned to the distance.
Concentrating his attention, Xia Xiao practiced for another half a minute to stabilize the source energy he absorbed in his body, and then withdrew from his current extremely deep state.
When Xia Xiao opened his eyes, he felt as if he was in another world. He saw Ah Zhu, who had just woken up, rubbing his eyes. He stood up, walked to Ah Zhu, and said to him:
"Wait two more days and we'll go back to the Great Wilderness, how about that?"
Ah Zhu nodded, and immediately became more energetic, and asked again:
"You have nothing to do these days, why don't you go back now?"
"I have to tell the seniors."
"Then tomorrow, we'll have a small meeting in the morning, and if everything is fine, we'll go back to the Great Wilderness in the afternoon!"
Ah Zhu said, and hurriedly searched for the token in the empty ring. She was relieved to see that it was still there. She hadn't noticed it for a long time, and she thought it was lost. But she was also curious, how could such a small token have such great power? Since it could allow them to break through the shackles of Xishu. When she asked, Xia Xiao smiled and explained:
"Silly girl, after I broke through the shackles of the Great Wilderness, I can travel in space. That means that with the strength of the tenth level, I can move freely in space. But Xishu has its own gravity. The tenth level may not be able to leave, but the eleventh and twelfth levels can definitely leave. But it doesn't mean that we can't leave without the token. Do you remember the Punishment Hall in the Heavenly Palace? Several elders are imprisoned there because they want to go to the world below to cause chaos."
"In the beginning, Xishu was certainly able to allow people to come and go freely, but later, for the sake of control and so-called justice, it prevented others from leaving, except for those who broke through the sixteenth level. This is a kind of restriction. The master of Tiangong is committed to breaking through not to leave, but to reach a higher level and gain more life. In other words, this token did not break through Xishu, but the six continents, which are also the barrier formed by the six major heavenly forces."
Ah Zhu took a long time to react, then nodded, not quite understanding. Seeing this, Xia Xiao changed his words.
"The Dawn is a courtyard. If people outside want to come in, they just need to break through the shackles of their original world. It could be the tenth level, or it could be the ninth level. People inside can go out if they are above the tenth level, but several people have locked the door, so it's not that easy to get out. There are only two ways. One is to get a token, and the other is to exceed the power of this world and step out of the wall instead of going through the door."
"I understand!"
Ah Zhu laughed and felt that he was really stupid, but Xia Xiao just held him in his arms.
"Let's go for a walk. After all, we're almost leaving, so we need to take a good look at the Deserted Palace."
Even though Xia Xiao had seen it, Ah Zhu suggested that they go together. For them, the Desolate Palace was undoubtedly their real home in the future, but this home had not yet fully grown up. But as others joked, now they only needed one thing, that was time!
Time is always flowing without anyone reminding it, but Xia Xiao and Azhu's stroll has caused many people to tell others about it, just wanting to see Azhu one more time.
Ah Zhu has always been a precious existence. When he was in the Great Wilderness, he attracted many people's attention because of his uniqueness. It is even more so now. Even just showing up can make people look at him from a distance.
Many people are timid and don't dare to talk to him, but there are always some people who will squeeze out of the crowd during this rare opportunity and step forward and say:
"Hao Shujun of the Wood Hall, hello to Lord Candle God!"
"Hello, hello!"
Ah Zhu nodded habitually, and even bent slightly, which made the disciples yearn for her and have beautiful visions. The beauty and strength of the Lord Zhushen were the goddess of their dreams. Every step she took was watched by them, and Ah Zhu could hardly walk.
Seeing this, Xia Xiao leaned close to Ah Zhu's ear and said:
"Everyone, go back and practice hard, and serve the Desolate Palace in the future. We will prosper together."
Ah Zhu originally thought that they would not leave if Xia Xiao used this method, but he did not expect that after a sound, everyone left, causing them to look at Xia Xiao and praise him:
“That’s amazing!”
"That is."
Xia Xiao understood the admiration that those disciples had for Azhu. When he first entered the academy, he also had this kind of admiration and worship for many of the teachers in the academy, but he didn't want to be disturbed.
