Chapter 27

Not to mention how He Jian was furious and wanted to scold Nan Xi.

After Nan Xi got the martial arts and swordsmanship, she was so happy that she didn't know what to do. When she came out of He Jian's cave, she couldn't keep the expression on her face and her mouth was about to rise to the sky.

[Hehehehehehehehehehe…new technique hehehehehehehehehehehehehahahahahahahaha! ]

When Nan Xi walked past in a hurry, the passing disciples looked at her back in horror and asked the people around them, "What good thing has happened to you, Senior Sister?"

"I don't know. Let's go. It feels like she's going to eat us."

Nan Xi, who was almost ready to kill himself, took the martial arts back home and began to practice hard day and night until he had mastered the martial arts and was familiar with the last move of the sword technique. Only then did he relax.

At this time, half a month had passed in the blink of an eye.

This period of time was relatively calm. Nan Xi practiced what she could every day, and then strolled around, ate, or slept. It was a very fulfilling time.

Until this day.

Just as she was about to lie down to sleep, the communication talisman began to heat up. When she opened it, she saw a message from He Jian asking her to come quickly.

When Nan Xi arrived, two disciples were already standing there, Qi Zhao and Luo Tingyun. There was not much to say between the two of them, and they were just waiting for her to come.

When they went over to ask, they found out that there was a spirit beast that had appeared near a town in the south and had been causing trouble recently. Since it was in an area protected by the Tianyun Sword Sect, it was naturally their job to resolve the problem.

"It is said that the Golden Beast's cultivation is not high, only at the late stage of foundation building. The reason we can catch up with it is because of its rarity."

Having said that, Qi Zhao raised his eyes and looked at Nan Xi and Luo Tingyun.

Nan Xi seemed to be thinking about something.

[What is the Golden Beast? Oh, yes, its blood is golden, and is an extremely rare elixir with strong healing abilities. If used in refining equipment, it can also fuse materials.]

This spiritual beast is rare, not only because of the special nature of its blood, but also because after being hunted and tamed by humans, the Golden Beast population has gathered in places with fewer people, such as some highly dangerous secret realms, or in the endless deep mountains and jungles with abundant spiritual energy.

It's not easy to meet someone who is alone.

[Oh, yes!] Nan Xi suddenly thought of something and looked at Qi Zhao, "Is it because of the power of this spirit beast?"

Qi Zhao nodded. "Yes, because of its special healing ability, as well as the fact that it poses no threat to animals and has thick skin that is difficult to chew, the Golden Beast is usually protected by spirit beasts."

"There are no high-level spirit beasts near the crowd, but the golden beast has already gathered a group of foundation-building spirit beasts. It is roughly estimated that there are more than ten of them."

"It's quite powerful." Nan Xi muttered.

[I would like to call Jin Wushou the most beloved beast among all beasts! ]

As soon as these words were spoken, the two people present looked towards Nan Xi.

Before Nan Xi noticed something was wrong, Luo Tingyun spoke, "Then let's go quickly."

Towns are usually guarded by people, but their cultivation is usually not high. A dozen spirit beasts in the foundation-building stage can flatten a town if one is not careful.

"good."

The town was in the south, more than two hundred miles away from the Tianyun Sword Sect. Even with the sword, it would take more than an hour to get there. By the time Nan Xi and the others arrived at the town, it was already dark.

They first met the guards here, and then were taken to the temporary guard post. The guards said: "The golden beasts appear at irregular times. Because it is too dangerous, we dare not check the places where they usually gather."

"I only know that they become restless at noon every day and come together to the edge of town, which is terrifying. Fortunately, they have not attacked yet."

As the eldest senior sister, Nan Xi was standing in the front at this time, and she was the one who spoke to the person in front.

"So, we don't know where they are at the moment?"

"Yes... we have to wait until tomorrow noon."

Nan Xi nodded, "Is that so."

Her eyes slowly slid to the people behind her. Qi Zhao and Luo Tingyun had no expression on their faces. They were very serious. Nan Xi also acted seriously. She asked seriously, "Is it time to eat now?"

In fact, she could practice fasting after achieving the Golden Elixir, but as for eating, Nan Xi felt that she would never be able to refuse it in her life.

When asked this by Nan Xi, Qi Zhao and Luo Tingyun were stunned for a moment.

[In order to ensure tomorrow's condition, you must eat and drink enough today. ]

Nan Xi told herself this in her heart.

The other two also reacted at this time. Luo Tingyun silently pointed behind him and said, "There is a restaurant behind."

The person who received the call was confused for a moment by this sudden turn of events, but he quickly came to his senses and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, you guys must be tired after rushing here. I will..."

Qi Zhao interrupted him and smiled at him gently, "No need to arrange, it's just our own food and drink. Have you eaten? If not, then come with us?"

The man quickly refused.

"No, no, no, I've already eaten. Since you all have your own plans, I'll leave first. I've just shown you the place to stay."

"Okay." Qi Zhao nodded calmly.

So the three of them walked towards the restaurant again.

Unlike the previous times when he was defending his sword or talking about serious matters with others, there was nothing to do at this time, and the arrangements for tomorrow were almost done, so Nan Xi glanced at Luo Tingyun frequently.

Although they were direct disciples, the atmosphere between the three of them was relaxed, especially Luo Tingyun, who was one meter away from her.

Nan Xi wondered.

[Why is Junior Sister so far away from me? Am I a cannibal? ]

[When female cultivators go out together, especially if they are close senior sisters or junior sisters, they should at least walk hand in hand, right? ]

Nan Xi is ready to make a move.

Luo Tingyun froze for a moment, but soon, Nan Xi rejected the idea, "No, no, who would hold hands with a love rival? But at least they should talk and laugh, right?"

Nan Xi felt the silence among the three of them at this moment, as if the air was stagnant, and felt that something was not right.

She decided to take the initiative.

He first leaned towards Luo Tingyun and said, "Speaking of which, when Junior Sister was not in the sect before, I won't talk about cultivation, but how did she practice swordsmanship?"

Nan Xi came closer this time. If the wind was strong, their hair would be tangled together. Luo Tingyun moved to the side feeling a little uncomfortably.

"The sword technique that Master gave me contains a jade slip, which contains Master's spiritual knowledge. He can teach me when he has time."

Nan Xi looked at Luo Tingyun's steps, not believing it, and took another step closer.

"So that's how it is. But Junior Sister is also amazing. She can learn so well even though she is not in the sect."

Luo Tingyun moved aside again and said modestly: "The discipline at home is strict, not much different from that in the sect, but it can't be said to be very good."

Nan Xi stopped talking. She stared at the distance between them, began to sulk, and then took another step closer.

[Does Junior Sister hate me? We are not that close. I have left a little safe distance. Why does she move one step for every one of me? ]

When Luo Tingyun heard this and saw Nan Xi's slightly wrinkled brows, he suddenly didn't dare to move and let Nan Xi get closer. If he turned his head at this time, he could clearly see Nan Xi's eyelashes.

He suddenly sighed, "I'm not used to people getting close to me."

Nan Xi looked up in confusion, glanced at Luo Tingyun's face, pointed at the distance between them, and said unconvincedly: "There's still half an arm."

[It's just the normal distance between people who are close to each other. 】

Qi Zhao, who was left far behind by the two, asked: "?"

If he doesn't speak, it's like he doesn't exist, right?

Qi Zhao walked quickly and came behind the two of them. His usually gentle face now had a somewhat sinister smile on it. "What are you two talking about? Is there something that I cannot listen to?"

"Um?"

Nan Xi looked towards Qi Zhao and when she met his gaze, she suddenly realized that there was someone here whom she had ignored, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"No, no, by the way, Junior Brother, what do you want to eat?"

Before they could react to her sudden change of subject, they looked up and realized that they had already arrived at the restaurant.

It was just a small restaurant with no special dishes. Qi Zhao was shown around and said, "I'll just have a bowl of fried rice."

Nan Xi nodded and looked at Luo Tingyun again.

"I'm the same as Senior Brother Qi."

They are not greedy for food and they came here just because Nan Xi wanted to come.

"Okay!" Nan Xi excitedly listed a series of dishes, turned around to look at the two people, and finally said, "I want three more bowls of fried rice."

She sighed in her heart: [Luckily I became an immortal, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to finish eating so much. ]

This caused the two of them to look at Nan Xi again. It turned out that eating a lot could be considered a benefit of cultivating immortality?

After Nan Xi's activeness, the atmosphere among the three of them improved significantly. Even Qi Zhao and Luo Tingyun started chatting about something while Nan Xi was eating bitterly.

Qi Zhao: "After some time, the other brothers and sisters will also be back."

Nan Xi raised her head and looked at Qi Zhao after hearing this. Qi Zhao paused before continuing, "The three of them went out to train together for nearly half a year. When they come back, they should have gained a lot."

"I have some impression of them." Luo Tingyun said, "I have met them before. They all seem to have distinct personalities."

[Brilliant?] Nan Xi's sudden words startled the two people who were speaking.

Nan Xi thought about those junior brothers and sisters and shuddered silently, "It's hard to deal with them. One of them looks like he wants to kill me every day, one of them wants to get me back on track, and the other one asks me to compete every day. If I don't win, he'll call me a loser."

Qi Zhao, Luo Tingyun: "..."

Qi Zhao had a hard time speaking and tried to change the subject, "Also, I encountered a lot of things when I went out for training before..."

At this moment, there was a sudden and unclear tremor from the ground. Before they could become serious, they heard a deafening roar of an animal. In an instant, the three of them stood up together.

Nan Xi hurriedly swallowed the food in her mouth, looked in the direction where the beast's roar came from, and frowned.

"Didn't they say there would be some movement at noon?"

Qi Zhao and Luo Tingyun also looked in that direction with serious faces. Qi Zhao said, "I don't know, but let's go and take a look."

After the beast roared, the ground continued to shake unnoticeably. It looked like the giant beast was moving and getting closer. They came here to deal with these spirit beasts, so they naturally would not stay here at this time.

Nan Xi glanced at the food on the table reluctantly, then quickly went out and headed towards the direction where the noise came from.

From a distance, we could see several giant beasts taller than the city gates walking in the jungle, with a smaller beast standing sadly in front.

Nan Xi walked in the front, and the next moment, the leading spirit beast looked over here, its golden eyes flashing with sharp light.

It seemed as if an attack would be launched in the next moment.
