Chapter 122 High! Really high! [Three in one, double monthly votes requested! ]
In the empty training cabin.
The dissipated red flame infant elephant still retains the sizzling arcs of fire and the expanding flame circles. The high-pressure spiritual furnace leaves the silent echo of spiritual patterns cleansing on the four walls.
The four geniuses stood at Yanjia's feet, looked up at the behemoth, and were all conquered by the generosity of the Taoist Alliance.
This Chi Yan infant elephant would burn tens of thousands of spirit stones every minute!
But Xiao Bai wondered, where does the money for the Taoist Alliance come from?
The Taoist Alliance does not even have its own complete business, only military factories and Tianyuan Dao Law.
Military industry is not for sale, but Tianyuan Dao Law is free.
So where does the money for the Dao Alliance come from?
Xiao Bai fell into deep thought.
Soon, Wen Yushu sent people to refill the spiritual power into the armor patterns of the four geniuses, and gave each of them a bottle of Taoist Alliance's high-level soul-restoring pill.
Everything was ready, and the Heavenly Patrol Ship sank into the abyss on the spot and disappeared in the gray fog of the Demon-Slaying Sea.
The Heavenly Patrol Ship, shrouded in black flames, looked like a fallen demon, cruising in the abyss.
Even at the speed of the Heavenly Patrol Ship, even if it crossed the abyss and took the shortest route, it would still take half a day to reach the Demon Sect.
Wen Yushu went to the cockpit and discussed the battle plan with several military advisors on board based on the combat power and martial arts characteristics of the four geniuses.
Daomeng Juyan also returned to the temporary repair shop located in the warehouse for repairs.
The Saint of Purple Palace entered the purple boat parked in the training cabin to rest.
The four geniuses stayed in the training cabin on standby.
After Wen Yushu left, he sent someone to place a long black stone table in the middle of the training cabin, filling it with drinks and snacks.
Although the Dao League Yanjia is powerful, it is obvious that the four of them are just trying out their skills and have not given their full strength.
At this moment, the four geniuses were sitting comfortably at the long table, drinking tea, wine, and tasting delicious food, without any sense of tension before the battle.
Mu Xiangzi sat cross-legged on a large wooden chair, wrapping his broken skull with a white cloth.
He insisted on not using spiritual power to recover, but instead circulated his spiritual power around his body, allowing the skull to recover automatically.
This made Xiao Bai feel that although he had helped him polish his body, he couldn't help feeling apologetic when he saw his bloody skull that was about to be shattered into pieces. He was even embarrassed to drink tea and eat snacks.
After a short cycle, Mu Xiangzi picked up the teacup as if nothing had happened and asked casually, "After this mission is successful, do you really want to work in the Dao League?"
Without waiting for the three to reply, he said to himself: "Let me say this first. I'm used to being a local emperor in the South China Sea and I don't want to lower my status by going to the Dao League."
The Ranger sat far away, with his back leaning against the chair and his feet propped up on the table. He only drank wine and did not drink tea or eat snacks.
"I am also used to freedom and I am too lazy to be an official."
Murong Yu was drinking tea very attentively, staring at the colorful snacks on the plate without touching anything.
"I listen to Master."
"I listen to my wife."
Xiao Bai flicked his fingers in the air, shaking the ranger's feet that were resting on the edge of the table down.
Even if he sits far away, he can't smell the stinky feet.
But everyone was eating snacks at the same table, and it was hard to have an appetite just looking at his feet.
Only then did Murong Yu calmly reach out his hand, pick up a piece of green dessert and put it into his mouth.
He didn't look at the ranger or Xiao Bai, just pretended nothing happened, which eased the embarrassment.
This forced the ranger to do the same as Mu Xiangzi, sitting cross-legged and drinking happily.
Suddenly, he realized a problem that made him a little uncomfortable:
"Wait...why do you have a wife when you're so young?"
Xiao Bai also picked up a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth.
The ingredients of the dim sum are very high-end, but they are not as delicious as those made by Mu Yun’s wife.
"You should ask, without the help of my wives, how could I become a genius at such a young age?"
"Wives..."
The ranger's face darkened.
He was already a powerful person in the Spiritual Severing Realm at such a young age, so why could he only attract some old, fat, ugly people? Why did the fair, rich, and beautiful women all stay away from him? Murong Yu suddenly said:
"My eldest senior brother has two Taoist companions. They quarrel with each other every day and are almost autistic. They can't even get a word in in the cave... It must be very hard for you too."
Xiao Bai nodded and sighed.
Actually, it’s not that bad. Apart from the pain in his kidneys, he isn’t too tired.
The ranger calmed down, drank a sip, and said with great vigor:
"A real man should walk alone between heaven and earth. How can he indulge in love affairs?"
Maki Xiangzi lightly tapped the broken skull.
"Could it be that Brother Xiao is a public Lu Ding?"
Xiao Bai's eyebrows twitched slightly, thinking that this guy really deserved a beating.
The wording "public Lu Ding" is too precise, it should be "shared Lu Ding".
The ranger suddenly remembered what Wen Yushu had just said about his past as a teacher.
"That Ling Zhouyue is very fierce, is she also your wife?"
Xiao Bai felt a little strange.
Outside of the Cambrian Kingdom, Yu Hu's reputation didn't seem to be very well-known, but Ling Zhouyue was well-known to everyone...
In terms of cultivation, she only has the Golden Core level.
As for the Son of Destiny, Xiao Bai didn't know who the other Sons of Destiny were.
After all, she is too fierce...
"What do you know? Early marriage and more children are good for the present and for future generations. If everyone is like you and doesn't marry or have children, how can society develop? How can the Dao Alliance make money?"
The last sentence should be deleted.
Mu Xiangzi hurriedly changed the subject:
"Come to think of it, I heard that the sons of destiny are all born with natural physiques and talents... Brother Xiao is also a rare person who has all five elements equally endowed. What does it feel like to be the son of destiny? Is the so-called destiny really just to kill the extraterritorial demons? The extraterritorial demons are all gone."
After saying this, Mu Xiangzi felt that the topic he changed was also somewhat dangerous.
Xiao Bai took a sip of tea and said casually:
"I don't know about that. You may not believe me, but I don't remember anything that happened five years ago. I'm barely thirty years old. Have you ever thought that maybe I'm an unrivaled expert who erased my memory, changed my age, and started practicing again?"
Although Xiao Bai seemed nonchalant, he was actually frantically trying to change the subject.
Maki Xiangzi kept asking:
"So what does it feel like to be the Destiny Child? Why are you the Destiny Child?"
“…”
This guy really deserves a beating!
Xiao Bai suddenly wanted to give his big forehead a blow. Just throw the jar into the ground!
On the side, Murong Yu, who was concentrating on eating snacks, seemed to be slightly interested in Xiao Bai's birth.
She felt that Xiao Bai's behavior and the way he spoke were more like a stranger than a person with amnesia.
Anyway, this is the first time in her life that she has seen someone with such a cheerful mindset, and it's quite interesting.
After thinking for a long time, she suddenly mustered up the courage and looked up at Xiao Bai and asked:
"Can I ask a private question?"
Xiao Bai was slightly startled. There was something wrong with this woman.
However, in Murong Yu's lively eyes, he only saw curiosity.
And it was the kind of extremely pure curiosity without any ambiguity.
So he picked up the teacup, nodded and said:
"Girls can ask."
As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Yu asked questions one after another, as if she was afraid that he would regret it.
"Since you lost your memory five years ago, can you remember what the earliest thing was?"
Youxia and Mu Xiangzi's eyes also lit up, and they looked at Xiao Bai curiously.
Xiao Bai's heart skipped a beat.
He seemed to have never thought about this question.
He is a flesh-and-blood warrior.
After crashing the game server in his previous life, the official posted his name on the login homepage.
This was the last thing he saw.
Afterwards, the game server collapsed completely, and his mind was deeply trapped in the code, falling into the abyss.
After waking up, I realized that my body had followed me.
As if he had been sleeping for a very long time, he slowly climbed out of a cave in a daze, and was finally rescued by an old miner from Cambrian.
The Taoist Alliance has issued an express ban on private mining of spiritual mines.
The old miner was vague about the location of the mine where Xiao Bai was found. He only said that when he found him, it was a rainy day with loud thunder. Xiao Bai was naked and unconscious in the mine close to the ground...
This is the earliest thing Xiao Bai remembers.
Unfortunately, the old miner died the following year.
Xiao Bai continued to struggle for a living.
It was not until three years ago that he saved enough money to enter the Xueyan Sect's menial work room, and it was only this year that he achieved some success.
He married a few wives, rose a few ranks, and reluctantly attended a gathering of geniuses.
My body is like a floating cloud or duckweed in the rain.
It is very difficult to investigate what happened back then.
Thinking of this, Xiao Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, pretending to be lost in thought, and answered Murong Yu: "Speaking of which, it was a stormy night with thunder and lightning. A handsome man in an underground cave was struck by lightning and gave birth to a brand new body. He crawled out of the ancient cave..."
Murong Yu seemed to be thinking about something and said nothing more.
When the Ranger heard this, he asked Xiao Bai with interest: "So, you are still an old monk from the golden age?"
Mu Xiangzi even joked:
"Brother Xiao, is the purpose of using secret methods to prolong your life and reincarnate just to pick up girls?"
Xiao Bai gave the two of them a look, with a slightly mysterious look on his face.
“That thunder in the rainstorm may have awakened my destiny.”
Mu Xiangzi said:
"But I heard that you only started to refine your Qi and build your foundation in the last few months..."
Xiao Bai's face darkened and he said in a cold voice:
“I didn’t really use it before.”
Murong Yu seemed to have realized something. She picked up another piece of dessert and put it in her mouth, puffing up her chubby cheeks.
Her facial features are of a pure and mysterious type. At first glance, they appear ordinary, but upon closer inspection, they are stunning. However, it is hard to tell what the stunning part is. They are full of the naturalness of a person who is devoted to the Tao.
But sometimes there is also a natural and lovely side.
"If we are not from the same family, we will not enter the same door. He is really a legendary person like Senior Ling Zhouyue."
Xiao Bai thought, no, she is disrespectful to the elderly and cannot be worthy of being your senior!
For a time traveler, exposing too much personal information is a taboo, so Xiao Bai quickly directed his words to the three people.
"Don't just worry about me. As geniuses, what legendary stories do you have? Tell us about them too."
The ranger took a sip of his wine and sighed.
"Alas, it's just another boring bragging session."
Xiao Bai was satisfied because the ranger didn't seem to completely believe what he said, which was why he often revealed his identity.
Because there is no point in exposing it. Who would believe something that is too bizarre and incomprehensible?
Maki Shoko was very interested in this kind of conversation.
"We are teammates who will go on the field together to kill the enemy soon. Knowing more will help us to cooperate better."
"Speaking of which, Brother Youxia, why did you become a killer? Have you ever killed an innocent person? Have you ever killed someone from the Dao League? Have you ever experienced failure?"
Ranger:
“…”
After a long silence, seeing that the atmosphere was boring and awkward, the ranger had no choice but to drink while talking about his past.
Xiao Bai drank tea, ate snacks, and listened to what was said from time to time.
Youxia is a genius born in the Zhumo Sea. He didn't like to practice since he was a child, and he liked to pick up garbage the most. Before he was thirty, he had traveled all over the Zhumo Sea and was named Youxia.
On his 30th birthday, he picked up the rusty Sky-Splitting Sword in a dangerous and deep sea valley crevice.
After washing it, I found that the rust was only the remnants of the scabbard. The blade was brand new and emitting white light. I realized that it was not an ordinary item.
After that, he stopped running around and instead joined a faction to learn swordsmanship, making rapid progress.
One day when he came back from going out, he found that his gang had been destroyed, and he slaughtered the enemy gang alone.
He then joined Baiying and became a killer.
He killed people, innocent or not, and never the weak.
He had also killed people from the Taoist Alliance. Afterwards he took all the bounty and even paid some extra money to settle the matter.
It is worth mentioning that he once received the mission to kill Ling Zhouyue in the Cambrian prison.
Because he disliked Ling Zhouyue for only having the cultivation level of a Golden Core, he refused on the spot.
One of the first five shadows who took on this task was killed by Youyazi and fed to the fish before he even met Ling Zhouyue.
"You're lucky."
Xiao Bai said with a smile.
I thought, the world line has ended.
After Ling Zhouyue killed people in the war with Zongguo, she was imprisoned for twenty years. Many of her enemies did send people to assassinate her, but the rumor Xiao Bai heard was that all these killers were killed by Ling Zhouyue.
Now it seems more likely that he was killed by Youyazi.
"It's your turn."
The ranger stared at Maki Shoko, somewhat curious about the origin of his masochistic personality.
Maki Shoko's experience is also quite interesting.
In his early years, because his talent was not top-notch and he belonged to a branch clan, his status in the family was not high.
Moreover, because he was talkative, he was often beaten by his brothers.
As he beat them more and more, he found that his physical skills were far superior to those of ordinary people.
Moreover, although he is not very good at controlling dragons and snakes, he is very good at controlling insects, shrimps and crabs.
The Jiaodan of the Mahayana realm was what he had knocked out from a pile of ancient corpses in an underwater cave ten years ago by controlling a group of mantis shrimps.
At that time, the Jiaodan was packed in a black bottle and was preserved as good as new.
He immediately presented the great dragon pill to the clan leader, only asking him to keep the pill wall to fuse with his own golden pill...
Then they become the key training targets within the clan.
He was also pushed into the middle stage of Nascent Soul by various resources, and counterattacked to become the first in the competition of the younger generation.
The man is innocent until he is guilty of possessing a treasure. The Jiaodan of the Mahayana realm is not something that a mere Jindan cultivator like him can hide and digest. He bypassed the elders of the branch clan and presented it directly to the clan leader, which made him receive the focus of training within the clan.
Originally, the spot for this year's Tianjiao Conference was reserved for a slightly older brother in the clan who was at the Spirit Severing Realm.
However, a few days ago, when he was traveling in the East China Sea, he accidentally encountered a dragon in the fusion realm with its dragon pill broken. After going through great efforts, he followed and fought with it for seven days before he finally captured it.
This incident made him a household name in the clan, and he was then given a spot in the Tianjiao Conference in advance.
Xiao Bai was stunned.
Could it be that you, the fusion-level dragon with the shattered Jiao Dan, are the ones that Yijianhu stole the Jiao Dan wall from and fused into his body?
However, the wall of his Jiaodan had already merged with the golden elixir, and its spiritual pressure and spiritual rate had all changed. Mu Xiangzi did not notice it for a moment and just thought it was a coincidence.
The world line once again ended with Yijianhu.
As expected of the girl of destiny, you are everywhere! Xiao Bai was more curious about Murong Yu, whose experience was actually quite ordinary.
When she was born, her mother died of polyhydramnios.
When she was half a year old, she did not die from drowning, but learned to swim. She was mistaken for a fish monster and sent to Dahemen. It was discovered that she had a high talent for water and she soon became a genius.
That's why he's called Murong Yu.
But she is not a fish monster.
Murong Yu tends to listen to his master, loves to eat, and is a Taoist monk, but there is nothing special about him otherwise.
Her training experience is relatively simple, and her world line has nothing to do with Yijianhu.
Xiao Bai was slightly disappointed and asked her:
"You are not a fish demon in this life. Maybe you were a fish in your previous life... Come to think of it, I also have a private question and I don't know if I should ask it or not."
Youxia and Mu Xiangzi were slightly startled.
Although they said they disdained the fact that Xiao Bai had so many wives, and that they all seemed to be strong, Youxia and Mu Xiangzi still listened carefully, wanting to learn Xiao Bai's skill in picking up girls.
Murong Yu opened his mouth and thought for a while, then he realized that he had no private matters at all, as transparent as a fish swimming in clear water.
"I don't seem to have anything private to do."
Xiao Bai suddenly came over and asked her seriously:
"You said fish, what do you like to eat the most?"
Murong Yu is a person who goes with the flow. Only when he hears about food, his confused eyes begin to light up.
"Are you going to buy me something to eat?"
Xiao Bai shook his head and said directly:
"I mean, what's the best bait for fishing?"
Youxia and Mu Xiangzi looked at each other, not knowing what he meant.
Murong Yu thought about it very seriously.
"I think fishing is a form of deception. Spirit fish have their own minds, so how could they be fooled?"
"If it were me, I would tie some delicious food with a rope and feed it to the spirit fish at a fixed time every day. When it gets used to it, if you suddenly come with an empty rope and turn around to leave, maybe I can still catch it without bait."
When Xiao Bai heard this, his eyes lit up, as if he had been enlightened and woken up from a dream! This is not fishing, this is the love technique of playing hard to get! Wonderful!
Indeed, fishing still requires broadening one’s thinking and expanding one’s perspective. One should not focus on the fish but should focus on the relationship between people and fish.
"Thank you, Miss Murong. You have been of great help to me."
As he said this, he took out a plate of snacks that Mu Yun had made himself from his storage ring and handed it to Murong Yu.
"This is a snack made by my wife. Try it."
Murong Yu was slightly startled. He didn't expect that there would be snacks to eat. He quickly picked up a piece of pineapple snack, took a light bite, and a rare blush suddenly appeared on his face.
“Mmm…delicious.”
Xiao Bai smiled with relief, stood up and left.
"You guys chat slowly, I'm going to go talk to the Saint about tactics to defeat the enemy."
Only Youxia and Mu Xiangzi were left looking at each other in confusion.
In their eyes, Xiao Bai was just like a fisherman who had been on the run for years, and it seemed that he only asked Murong Yu for the sake of fishing...
Or did he throw out the bait invisibly? The two of them were enlightened.
High! Really high!
…
The purple boat of the Holy Maiden was still empty.
This time, Xiao Bai bypassed the four overly decent palace guarding fairies and swaggered into the Saint's room on the pretext of discussing tactics.
Because the saint had agreed, this action did not trigger any burning in holy flames.
In the saint's room, there was only a huge dark red rush mat, covered with a columnar white sand curtain, which was similar to the devil's domain from outer space.
Xiao Bai sat cross-legged outside the white sand curtain, preparing to nourish the sword fox remotely.
After all, it's been half a day since she left the house, and she'll recover faster only if she's watered regularly.
Inside the white sand curtain, the saint sat cross-legged, looking into Xiao Bai's eyes. Separated by the black veil and the white sand curtain, she looked particularly holy.
It is also extremely mysterious.
"You came to me alone, aren't you really discussing how to defeat the enemy?"
The saint's voice is clean and ethereal, yet slightly majestic, and very comfortable to listen to.
Xiao Bai smiled.
"One of my wives was injured recently, and I happen to know a little bit about gynecology."
"Even if I'm away from home, I will use the long-range spirit-absorbing formation to transfer the five elements of spiritual power and a little bit of demonic energy to her to help her heal her injuries."
"Because I need to perform magic, it's safer here with you."
The Saint asked calmly:
"I am the Saint of the Dao Alliance. Why do you feel safe when you draw magic energy from me?"
"Maybe it's my intuition. If practicing in front of you disturbs the Saint Lady's rest, I'll practice behind you."
Having said this, Xiao Bai quickly moved to sit cross-legged behind the Saint, and then briefly explained:
"If you study the five elements, you can actually practice simple magic or demonic skills."
The Saint shook her head gently and said calmly:
"No need to explain too much. The child of destiny has always been able to control some of the demonic power and demonic energy. This just proves that you are indeed the child of destiny."
Xiao Bai was stunned and asked in surprise: "Is there such a saying?"
The Saint asked him back, "The power of destiny is the power of law. With your level of cultivation, if your body cannot integrate the power of humans, demons and monsters, how can you withstand the power of law and not die?"
This was the first time Xiao Bai had heard of this theory.
Could it be that the legend that merging with demons can subvert the world is because by merging with demons, one can bear the power of destiny and change the world?
Yu Hu wanted to destroy all mankind with this? I don't know if it was a coincidence, but the two sons of destiny, Yi Jianhu and I, gathered around Yu Hu.
Is it really a coincidence?
Xiao Bai couldn't be sure.
I didn't ask any more questions.
"If you don't mind, Saint Lady, I'll start now."
The saint said nothing more.
Xiao Bai placed his palm on the ground and replicated a small spirit-absorbing formation on the ground.
By combining the Flower of Darkness and the Thousand Miles Demonic Sound, the ethereal demonic energy is slowly injected into the void in a resonant manner.
"Is Ling Zhouyue the one who was injured?"
The saint suddenly asked.
Xiao Bai did not hide it either.
"Um."
The saint turned her back and said:
"On this trip to the Heavenly Demon Sect, if you can integrate the power of Demon Lord Kui Yu, it will be much faster than you using the magic energy of the Golden Core Realm to slowly heal."
"Really?"
Xiao Bai was slightly startled.
The saint nodded slightly.
"Well, Kuiyu is a saint from the previous generation. Her magic energy comes from practicing with the Saint Seal. It is purer than yours. At the same time, because she is a woman, her magic energy is also gentler, and has a better healing effect on Ling Zhouyue."
When Xiao Bai heard this, he found that it was indeed true.
It's really the right decision to come to the Holy Lady's Boat Ride to practice your skills.
"Thank you, I'll try it."
After a long silence, the Saint spoke again slowly:
"You just said outside that you crawled out of the underground cave five years ago... is that true?"
“Not all of it is true.”
Xiao Bai smiled, his tone low and mysterious: "I will only tell the truth to the woman I love."
