Su Xing sat cross-legged under an ancient tree, breathing rhythmically.
At this time, the sky was dotted with stars. Su Xing practiced the Great Witch Body Tempering Technique. Wisps of star power poured in from the sky and merged into Su Xing's body.
Su Xing closed his eyes and rested, feeling the strengthening of his body by the power of the stars. The injuries in his body seemed to have recovered a little.
"Huh... the power of the stars is really mysterious!"
“Although I don’t have top-notch elixirs or magical medicines to help me recover, with this star power, my body will only gradually recover to its peak state.”
Su Xing thought about it.
His current body cultivation has recovered to the level of Tribulation Crossing Stage.
If you use your trump card at all costs, you can unleash the power of an immortal...
"Now that the mana in my body is in disarray, my Qi training has been destroyed. I can only rely on my body training!"
"But fortunately, I have some ability to protect myself."
Su Xing nodded with satisfaction.
He was somewhat thankful that he practiced dual cultivation of Qi and had a solid foundation, otherwise his current fate would have been even more miserable.
"Unconsciously, I have been in this White Cloud Realm for two years..."
"Once my cultivation is fully restored, I will be able to set off for the Heavenly Mystery Realm!"
Su Xing rubbed his eyebrows.
Although he could not leave the house for the past two years and had to recuperate at home all day, he learned some information about the Baiyun Realm through the siblings Bai Xiaoxiao and Bai Yutang.
The Baiyun Realm is just a small world, not even a small thousand world!
The largest sect in this world is the Baiyun Sect.
According to legend, an immortal once appeared in the Baiyun Sect...
Therefore, Su Xing estimated that the human immortal or earthly immortal realm was already the top combat power in this world.
The cultivators of the Baiyun Realm, like Su Xing before, only knew about the Baiyun Sect, but had never known about the Three Thousand Worlds, the Tianji Realm, and the Tianji Pavilion! "Ordinary cultivators in this world may not be well-informed... but as a sect with immortal heritage, the Baiyun Sect must know about the Three Thousand Worlds and the Tianji Pavilion!"
"If the direction is correct, the White Cloud Realm should be an inconspicuous small world in the Tianji Realm."
“Here, Nascent Soul and Transformation Spirit are already the ancestors of small sects, and Mahayana Tribulation Transcendence can be invincible in the world.”
After a pause, Su Xing shook his head slightly, looked toward the horizon, and sighed, "But no matter how high or low one's cultivation is, wherever there are cultivators, there is a martial arts world!"
"I've been recuperating for two whole years...it's time to go out and relax!"
Su Xing stood up and left the house for the first time in two years.
When Bai Xiaoxiao left, it was still light outside. Now two hours have passed, the sky has turned dark, the moon is high in the sky, but she still has not returned.
The center of Baiyun City is only a few dozen miles away from this courtyard. With the speed of a foundation-building cultivator, it would have taken him several trips back and forth.
Now that the siblings have not returned, something must have gone wrong! "In the final analysis, some of the money has been leaked..."
Su Xing shook his head slightly, and took a step forward to cover a distance of dozens of feet. Although he had no magic power, Su Xing's speed was already impressive just relying on this mortal body.
Bai Xiaoxiao and her brother are not strangers without any roots in Baidi City.
Ever since their ancestral property and herbal medicine shop were taken over by the elders of Baiyun Sect, the two have been making a living by collecting herbs.
Although I don’t earn much, I can occasionally save up one or two spirit stones and buy some pills to assist in my practice.
But since Su Xing woke up, the brother and sister have been refining all the herbs they picked into pills to help Su Xing recover from his injuries.
As a result, the brother and sister's cultivation will definitely fall behind.
Therefore, Su Xing also allowed Bai Xiaoxiao to sell some pills occasionally to earn spirit stones to ensure their practice.
This is why the awakened Lingtian Cave Heaven cannot be used, otherwise why would there be so many things to do?
The wealth in Lingtian Cave Heaven is probably enough to buy the entire Baiyun Realm!
But for now, they can only sell some low-level elixirs to ensure their practice.
Not many pills were sold each time, only three or five, and they were only first or second level pills, and the price was only a few dozen low-grade spirit stones.
Su Xing originally thought that with such a small number, they would not be targeted.
But unexpectedly, it still went against my wishes...
This time, something must have happened to the brother and sister.
Those targeting them might be their former enemies.
Or maybe the medicine shop was tempted by the money and knew that they had no foundation, so they wanted to rob them.
While thinking, Su Xing had already arrived at the destination. He stopped in front of a herbal medicine shop and murmured, "There is one last possibility. They know that there is a master behind the siblings... so they want to lure out the person behind them..."
"That's me..."
Su Xing walked slowly towards the herbal medicine shop. As soon as he entered the door, he heard the voice of the servant: "Hey, fellow Taoist...it's getting late, our shop is closed!"
"I don't know what kind of elixir you want to buy or sell. Please come back tomorrow when the shop opens..."
Su Xing glanced at the servant who was speaking, and said calmly:
"I wonder if you have seen a pair of siblings. The sister is about 18 or 19 years old, and the brother is about 11 or 12 years old. They came here to sell pills."
The boy's face changed slightly after hearing this, and he subconsciously asked:
"Who are you to them..."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, the boy realized he had said something wrong.
His words just proved that the brother and sister had been here.
Su Xing looked at the servant and had something in mind, so he said:
"I am their elder... I saw that they hadn't returned home yet so late, so I came to call them back to eat."
The servant remained silent after hearing this. After looking at Su Xing, he said uncertainly:
"These two siblings did come here... but they went back after selling the pills."
"If your child is missing, please go to the government office to report it... Our store is small, so we cannot accept you."
After hearing this, Su Xing stood where he was and glanced at him indifferently.
The boy's words were really untenable. The brother and sister arrived one after the other, with a difference of two hours between them.
It is impossible for them to be targeted by other forces in the city. The only one who could do this could be the herbal medicine shop in front of them.
Seeing that Su Xing didn't move, the servant stepped forward and tried to push Su Xing out.
But Su Xing was as still as a mountain, and the young man only felt like he had hit a mountain.
Su Xing didn't move at all, but the boy fell to the ground with his butt.
"Ouch, someone got beaten up, this wicked customer is not doing business anymore and is beating people up!"
The young man sat down on the ground and stumbled, but he reacted very quickly and shouted loudly.
But within a few breaths, several guards with weapons came from the backyard of the store and surrounded Su Xing.
Su Xing frowned slightly when he saw this and said, "I came here just to pick someone up... I don't want to fight!"
Seeing Su Xing giving in, the boy was unreasonable and pressed his own limits:
"Heh, I told you to leave just now but you refused... Now it's too late to leave, arrest this cripple!"
Several guards looked at Su Xing who had lost an arm with a smile on their faces. They took out their weapons and slashed at Su Xing.
But how could these mortal weapons hurt Su Xing in the slightest? Even these guards were just beginners in the way of cultivating immortals. Even if Su Xing stood here and let them kill him, how could they kill him?
After the flash of swords and sabers, all the weapons were broken, but Su Xing stood there, with even his hair not messed up.
Then, with just a glance, the guards fell to the ground one after another.
Su Xing did not stop him, but just waited quietly there.
A moment later, the servant came running over, followed by a middle-aged man in brocade clothes.
Su Xing saw through this man's cultivation level at a glance. He was a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage! The man also looked at Su Xing. Seeing that he couldn't see through Su Xing's true colors, his expression eased a little and he asked:
"I wonder why you are here?"
Su Xing glanced at him and said:
"I'm here to pick up the brother and sister. Who are you?"
The man's face froze after hearing this, and he said:
"You should go to the government office to find someone. This is my medicine shop..."
"Your Excellency, please leave as soon as possible. I can still pretend that what happened here never happened."
After hearing this, Su Xing glanced at the servant. From his evasive eyes, Su Xing already knew the answer.
So Su Xing said:
"You can take all the pills. They are just a few low-level pills... So what if I give you ten more?"
"As long as the brother and sister are safe and sound!"
After hearing Su Xing's words, the middle-aged man remained silent.
When Su Xing saw this, he instantly realized that they were not looking for Bai Xiaoxiao and her brother because of the elixir.
In this case, they can only be enemies...
Thinking of this, Su Xing's face darkened and he said:
"We should always leave some room for error. The grudges of the previous generation should not affect the next generation..."
Before Su Xing finished speaking, the middle-aged man's face darkened and he scolded, "I don't know what you are talking about. There is no one here who you are looking for. Leave quickly!"
Seeing how determined they were, Su Xing was afraid that they had really captured the brother and sister.
If Su Xing doesn't take action, the comfort of the two siblings will be unknown...
So Su Xing also stepped forward and said forcefully: "What if I don't retreat?"
The middle-aged man sneered after hearing this: "If you don't accept my toast, then you should drink the wine for punishment. If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude!"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man cast a spell, and a scorching high-temperature flame attacked Su Xing.
But Su Xing only took a step forward, and the flame separated into five elements.
The immortal's body is invulnerable to water and fire! Not to mention fire spells, even ordinary magical powers can't hurt Su Xing in the slightest!
The attack failed and the middle-aged man's face changed slightly, as if he knew that Su Xing was not someone to be trifled with.
However, before he could release the next spell, Su Xing took a step forward and lifted the middle-aged man up with one hand.
Before the man could resist, Su Xing used force with his palm to crush his arm.
Severe pain instantly swept through the man's body. Faced with the terrifying power that had awakened like a mountain abyss, he was unable to resist at all.
In just a few breaths, Su Xing crushed the bones in his arms and hands.
Then, the middle-aged man began to beg for mercy: "In... they just finished drinking tea in the backyard and fell asleep!"
"My Lord, please… let me go!"
The middle-aged man was sweating all over from the pain and almost lost his mind. He suspected that if this continued he would die from the pain!
After hearing this, Su Xing did not let go, but carried him like a chicken and walked towards the backyard.
In a short while, Su Xing found the brother and sister who were tied up in a woodshed.
Both men were unconscious, but fortunately their lives were not in danger.
After confirming that the brother and sister were safe, Su Xing looked at the middle-aged man in his hand and asked, "Who asked you to target this brother and sister?"
After hearing Su Xing's question, the man hesitated a little, but his life was still in Su Xing's hands at the moment, so he quickly said: "Yes, it's Elder Lu from the Baiyun Sect..."
"He informed me in advance and asked me to capture these two people to prevent future troubles..."
Su Xing frowned slightly after hearing this and asked again:
"If they are trying to eliminate future troubles, why are they still alive?"
After hearing this, the man quickly said:
"Yes, I think... these two people are still valuable, so I want them to refine more pills, and then..."
After hearing this, Su Xing closed his eyes. He understood what had happened.
Elder Lu of the Baiyun Sect should be the enemy of Bai Xiaoxiao's father.
He asked the owner of the herbal medicine shop to kill Bai Xiaoxiao and her brother.
But the owner of this herbal medicine shop thought that Bai Xiaoxiao was good at making pills and had some value, so he wanted to squeeze her dry before taking action...
It was because of this that the two siblings were given a chance to save their lives.
After figuring out the whole story, Su Xing threw the boss to the ground.
If it weren't for the boss' greed, if it were someone else, Bai Xiaoxiao and her brother would have really lost their lives.
Su Xing picked up the unconscious brother and sister and prepared to leave.
The middle-aged man was so frightened that he was out of his mind. He knelt on the ground and kept saying, "Goddess, please spare my life! Goddess, please spare my life!"
"I...I don't want to kill innocent people..."
After hearing this, Su Xing was silent for a moment and said:
"Your life is worthless, so I won't kill you... If Elder Lu comes looking for you again, tell him that I will protect these two siblings!"
"Tell him to stop worrying about it. The grudge is over. If he doesn't know what's best for him, I will kill him directly!"
Su Xing and his brother were about to leave the store. As soon as they stepped out of the door, they thought of something and turned back to ask:
"By the way...where is the medicine storehouse of your herbal medicine shop?"
…
The next morning, Su Xing recuperated from his injuries in the Bai family courtyard.
Bai Xiaoxiao and Bai Yuting have woken up. Because of the mistake that happened this time, they have been punished by Su Xing to practice for a year and are not allowed to go out.
Under the ancient tree, Su Xing slowly took out a package, which was full of pills.
These pills were naturally taken from the herbal medicine shop.
“Tsk tsk… This is a blessing in disguise. Although the siblings have suffered a lot, the elixir cannot be fake.”
"With these pills, my recovery from injuries will be much faster!"
This package contains quite a few medicinal pills below level five.
Among them is the Qi-inducing Pill needed for awakening.
Although its grade is not high, it is much better than what Bai Xiaoxiao refined, and it is enough to speed up Su's recovery.
Thinking so, Su Xing began to take medicinal pills for treatment.
Su Xing swallowed the pills roughly, and they were quickly transformed into pure vitality to nourish the blood in Su Xing's body, greatly speeding up Su Xing's recovery from his injuries.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed...
