He's... weird.
The red monster was several feet tall, and they found it by following a trail of charred fire.
Walking through the endless dense forest, the camphor trees are so thick that it takes three people to wrap their arms around them to circle them. The winding roots extend out of the ground and then disappear into the dark earth.
The red demon was circling in the ashes of the charred branches. He suddenly opened his vertical pupils and looked at the daring invader.
The monks drew their swords in an instant and prepared for battle.
"How many trees did it burn?"
"It's afraid of water, so you can use a water charm."
"I'll do it!"
However, before he could finish his words, Bai Linchuan flew out, his white sleeves fluttering in the air, his hair flying back, and his resolute and sharp eyes looking down at the earth without a trace of warmth.
The team stared at him in amazement.
The red demon felt provoked, his bell-like eyes burning with rage as he stared at the pair of calm and composed eyes as cold as ice.
It stood much taller than the trees, and the scales on its neck glowed red like armor.
"roar--"
Bai Linchuan was not afraid of danger and did not retreat at all. A spiritual light flashed on his body, and a crescent moon appeared in the sky. He raised his hand, and the light of the crescent arc flashed towards the red monster with the force of thunder.
The two forces collided, unleashing a tremendous impact force, and white mist rose in the dark night. The team squinted their eyes or used their sleeves to cover their eyes. The tall man lost his balance and had to hold onto the tree in time to avoid being blown away.
When the wind and sand settled and the white mist dissipated, the red demon had fallen in the ashes. Thousands of acres of trees were knocked down and fell to the ground facing north. The distant mountains appeared, and the moonlight spread into the dense forest, casting a silver frost.
…
On the way back to the mountain, Bai Linchuan didn't say a word, and the team quickly went forward to collect the red monster's body.
Bai Linchuan drove the leaf boat forward, and the team followed him from a distance with swordsmen.
The short man said, "So the eldest brother is so powerful."
"Is this what it feels like to win without doing anything? It's so unreal."
“It’s my first time seeing this too.”
"Didn't you team up with Big Brother before?"
"That's different. Last time, we worked together to eliminate the demon. I was almost injured by Yu Ji, but it was Senior Brother who came to save me in time. Besides, there wasn't such a big scene..."
Everyone looked down and saw a neat dividing line dividing the forest into two. To the north of the forest, the branches of the trees were broken and fallen to the ground, all destroyed.
They shuddered and stopped talking about it.
The most popular thread on the book thread is still being discussed:
The eldest brother is so strong that he can defeat such a powerful red monster in one fell swoop.
Since he is so strong, why hasn't he taken the sword back from Mo Xue?
Could it be that Mo Xue is stronger than Bai Linchuan!
Would you like to hear what nonsense you are talking about upstairs?
Mo Xue is a very nice person.
There are actually people who like this kind of person. The world has changed.
We have been discussing this for so long, why has no one told us where Mo Xue came from?
Yeah, who is he?
…
Mo Xue's residence.
Wei Si said, "Why are you still looking so sad? Isn't this a good thing?"
"Oh, what good is this sword smashing in my hand?"
The holy sword was placed on the wooden table, and under the sunlight it seemed to be covered with a layer of holy light.
Wei Si swallowed his saliva and wiped his sword. It was a sword engraved with Blue Star. It was not a top-notch sword, but it was not bad either.
"How on earth did you get hold of this sword?"
Mo Xue rarely smiled and his eyes fell on the heavy sword.
Second senior brother Bei Shaozhi was practicing sword outside the house, glancing towards the east from time to time. Bai Linchuan had returned to the house for a long time and should not have come out again, but curiosity drove him out to take another look.
Unexpectedly, he was hit by him. When Bai Linchuan passed by him alone, he rarely showed courage and raised his hand to say hello.
"Big Brother, where are you going?"
Bai Linchuan had already passed him, but he took half a step back and stopped in front of him.
Bei Shaozhi laughed awkwardly twice and thought frantically, "You idiot, stop him and say something."
His brain raced, his mind lost its focus, and he asked, "Are we going to seize the sword?"
“…” Shut up, you idiot.
"I... didn't mean that."
Bai Linchuan's gaze was still on him. Bei Shaozhi smiled awkwardly twice, tentatively exploring the other person's expression, and frowned slightly.
"Then... let's... go inside and talk in detail?" Bei Shaozhi said tentatively.
Bai Linchuan walked into the house, and Bei Shaozhi shook his stiff mouth and followed him.
"Is there something you can't tell?" Wei Si said.
Mo Xue smiled, showing his sharp fangs: "No, do you still remember those two people who tried to steal the ruby sword in the valley?"
"Remember."
"When I walked into the Divine Sword Cave, Bai Linchuan had just arrived and the sword was lit up. Isn't it a coincidence? It's simply God's help." Mo Xue clapped his hands.
"So you rushed forward and drew your sword?" Wei Si asked.
Mo Xue nodded.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Bei Shaozhi said, "Even if someone took advantage of the opportunity to draw the sword, that person must have a connection with the sword. The couple who fought over the sword reported it to the Grand Master, but precisely because of this, the Grand Master still gave the sword to the person who actually drew it. However, since both of them had a connection, there would naturally be constant trouble in the future, with each person trying to steal it, so generally no one would do such a wicked thing."
Bai Linchuan's eyes flickered, "Mo Xue and this sword also have a connection."
"Don't you think it's strange? His cultivation isn't top-notch, and he doesn't even have any talent. He's been in the mountains for over a year, and his level is even lower than other cultivators at the same stage. But why does he have a connection with the divine sword? It's really strange."
"No matter what his purpose is, I will never let him continue to do evil."
Bei Shaozhi nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly started, "That means..." He put his palm across his neck.
Bai Linchuan frowned slightly and looked at Bei Shaozhi.
Bei Shaozhi put down his hand awkwardly, "Oh, I see. Big Brother is going to ascend to heaven, it's not worth getting his hands dirty for such a small matter." He changed the subject,
"However, he arrived later than you at that time. Even if he rushed forward and drew his sword first, you could have knocked him away with one palm. How could it be..."
The scroll on the table was constantly flashing. Bai Linchuan cleared his throat, sat up straight, and said, "This time, I will go all out and will not underestimate the enemy."
Bei Shaozhi glanced at the letter, raised his eyebrows, and presented it to him.
"Huh?" Bai Linchuan was puzzled. He never skipped class.
"There are a lot of things about Mo Xue above."
…
Mo Xue, from Guyangba Village 3 at the foot of the mountain, lost his parents early. Last year, he passed the Thousand Mile Long Steps test and became an outer disciple of Lingzhong Mountain. His aptitude is mediocre, and his spiritual energy cultivation is average. However, he has not yet experienced competition, so his true strength is unknown.
But there are other rumors that this person's past is all fabricated, and his real identity is the young master of a prominent family at the foot of the mountain. He left home to go to the mountain to practice, regards money as dirt, and lives in danger.
He is a good friend of Wei Si, whom he met during the long-level test. He lives in the third house facing north in the backyard of Nanshan. He pays ten spirit stones every month by himself and always hands them in on time every month.
Bai Linchuan turned his head and saw Mo Xue bending slightly and talking and laughing quietly with Wei Si through the upright backs of two or three monks.
What he said at that time was, "...Brother, name a price, and I will sell this sword to you..."
His smile was very bright, like a spring water and a moon, but in his eyes it was a naked provocation.
If he really wanted to give him the sword, he wouldn't have tried to take it in the first place, so... what exactly did he want to do?
Ever since they first met, he would pop out from time to time to scratch her, shake her for a moment and then disappear, but he never did anything excessive, and he even almost attacked him.
Even if the sword is taken back roughly, given the opponent's personality, there will be endless troubles afterwards.
He must know his purpose, otherwise he will always be passive in this game.
Bai Linchuan retracted his narrowed eyes and took a breath. To get close to him and gain his trust, one doesn't have to be a human.
"Disciple, Bai Linchuan..."
Bai Linchuan suddenly came back to his senses, swept his sleeve across to cover the constantly flashing books on the table, and when he looked up, he met the master's hesitant expression.
The Grand Master coughed and pretended not to notice. The eldest disciple had been attending the lessons for three days in a row. Each time, he never looked up, but sat there obediently, blatantly looking at the calligraphy...
The master tugged at his beard and continued, "This cultivation is about practicing Qi..."
Bai Linchuan suddenly frowned.
The chief repairer paused, wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked over and looked down slightly, and found that Bai Linchuan was reading the third volume of the book.
Then he suddenly realized and changed the subject, saying, "Today, I will explain to you the knowledge about spirit pets."
Mo Xue was stunned and looked up, just in time to meet Bai Linchuan's gaze.
He raised his delicate eyebrows, and the right corner of his mouth turned up, forming a shallow dimple.
Bai Linchuan's gaze only stayed for a moment, so brief that it seemed like a casual passing by.
"You are free to choose your spirit pet. They can assist you in battle based on their habits. Most are ferocious beasts and birds, but the more powerful the spirit pet, the harder it is to tame. If you want to sign a contract, both the person and the beast must agree."
The master repairman stroked his beard and asked, "Do you understand everything?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Xue raised his hand. The master repairman said in a calm voice: "Speak."
Mo Xie said, "Master, we are in the second lecture - the use of all kinds of energy. Haven't we learned it yet?"
The Grand Master clenched his fist and replied, "The Scroll of Qi Usage requires you to first refine it into your body and master it to a very deep level before you can use it. There are many techniques in it that even I haven't fully mastered, let alone you. Laying a solid foundation is the right way."
The sound of flipping pages sounded rhythmically. Bai Linchuan roughly flipped through the book. The whole book was divided into three chapters. The first volume was about practicing Qi, the second volume was about using Qi, and the third volume was about the relationship between Qi. Spiritual pets were only a small part of the third volume.
The Grand Master cleared his throat. He stood diagonally in front of Bai Linchuan, glanced at Mo Xue anxiously, and finally said, "I'll explain the second volume in the next class."
"To sign a contract with a spirit pet, the specific method is to connect your spirit energy with that of the spirit pet. You need to use both of your spirit energy to write the contract symbol to succeed. Remember, the contract symbol must be completely consistent. If there is any error, it will fail.
Turn to the next page and you will see several types of contracts, including spirit pet contracts, companion contracts, inheritance contracts, master recognition contracts, and life and death contracts... Be sure not to make a mistake, otherwise you will be in great trouble."
"It's finally time to leave the hall. The Grand Master actually stayed a quarter of an hour late today. How unusual." The hall suddenly became noisy. Wei Si said to Mo Xue, "Let's go. It's still early. Do you want to go to the Xuanzhu Hall?"
"Okay." Mo Xue stood up with him and put the sword across the right side of his waist. When he passed by Bai Linchuan, he smelled the scent of green grass and orange on him again.
Tsk, the broken sachet hasn’t been thrown away yet.
Wei Si waited at the door for Mo Xue to come out, was silent for a moment, and then followed him.
Bai Linchuan clearly saw the blue cloud pattern carved on the magic sword hanging on his waist, and he turned his head.
Mo Xue was wearing a black dress, with his high ponytail tied up and hanging behind him, swaying from side to side as he walked.
Under the strong sunlight, his figure gradually turned into a restless ink dot.
