Arriving at the door of the pharmacy, I reached out and knocked on the door.
"Then the sound of ticking footsteps was heard in the courtyard. He opened the door and saw that the person coming was Chu Xin. The medicine boy immediately said with fear and fear: "It's Master Xin. Hello, Master Xin."
"Yes." Chu Xin nodded slightly and asked, "Mr. Xu, can you sleep peacefully?"
"Master hasn't gone to bed yet and is working on elixirs." The medicine boy replied, "I don't believe you, Master, came here late at night. What's the important matter?"
"Go in and tell me." I went deep into the dark forest tonight and violated a family taboo. If anyone knew about it, I would definitely suffer disaster.
I had a Vulcan horn on my body, but I couldn¡¯t talk about it outside, so I hurried into the pharmacy with the medicine boy.
After dismissing the medicine boy, Chu Xin walked into the inner hall and saw Xu Guandong. At this moment, he was still staring at the cauldron with concentration, holding the medicine book, watching the heat while recording.
"Mr. Xu."
Chu Xin said respectfully.
This time, he did not wait as quietly as before. After delivering the Vulcan Horn, he had to rush back to Beibing Residence.
Those two boys knew that he would not be at home tonight. I wonder if they were spying for Chu Qian, and they were really worried.
Hearing Chu Xin's voice, Xu Guandong was startled, and then stood up. He saw that Chu Xin's whole body was covered with thorns and piles of grass. At a glance, he knew that it was because he had just arrived in the forest. He recalled what he had discussed with Chu Xin before. In the dark forest, his expression changed: "Master Xin, what are you"
"Mr. Xu, I won't go into details about other matters. Come on, this is what you call the Fire God's Corner. I wonder if it will help Sister Jin Xue's condition?" He hurriedly took out the Fire God's Corner from his underwear. Divine horn, pass it over.
Xu Guandong had a look of surprise on his face. He took the Vulcan Horn and turned it up and down to look at it. After a short while, his doubts turned into ecstasy: "It's it! The Vulcan Horn I've always dreamed of, it's it! Too much Well, now that I have it, not only can I be more confident about curing Miss Jin Xue, but more importantly, it will also be of great help to me in entering the 'True Martial Pill' I have refined. Not bad, not bad"
After receiving the confirmation from the other party, Chu Xin felt a big stone in his heart, fearing that he had made a mistake, otherwise his trip tonight would have been in vain.
Nodding, he cupped his hands and said, "That being the case, I would also like to ask Mr. Xu to provide this medicine to Sister Jin Xue as soon as possible. I hope she recovers soon."
"Well, this is natural, this is natural." Xu Guandong nodded repeatedly, the smile on his face was as bright as a flower, but after thinking for a moment, he suddenly looked at Chu Xin in surprise, and said in amazement: "Master Xin, are you really going? Entered the dark forest? Killed the Mingman beast? This, this is a big taboo of the family. Also, as far as I know, the Mingman beast is extremely ferocious. Everyone in the clan knows your strength, but how do you ¡¡±
"Haha, this matter has been revealed, Mr. Xu doesn't need to think about it anymore." Chu Xin smiled and waved his hand, and warned: "By the way, you don't need to say anything to sister Jin Xue about this matter, you should consider it as your arrangement for her. That¡¯s fine, I don¡¯t want her to feel guilty about me.¡±
"Okay, I will promise you this, but Master Xin, it must take a lot of effort for you to go to the dark forest and kill the beast of darkness, right? That beast is very powerful. Let me see if there are any injuries on your body, so that I can For you¡¡"
"No, it's just some superficial injuries. Just cultivate yourself and cultivate yourself." Chu Xin declined politely and said, "Then I'll take my leave."
After saying that, he strode out of the pharmacy.
Xu Guandong stared at the Fire God Horn in his hand, then looked at his back, and murmured to himself in surprise: "Master Xin is weak and has no chance of winning against the Mingman Beast, but the Fire God in my hand The divine horns do indeed come from the Mingmang beast. It¡¯s really strange, how did he do it?
¡¡
After leaving the pharmacy, Chu Xin went straight back to Beibing Residence.
At this moment, the two boys had already rested.
There was no movement in the courtyard.
It seems that I am being paranoid. If they are really Chu Qian's spy and I leave the family without permission, I am bound to be hunted down.
It¡¯s not like everything is calm now.
Without thinking too much, he returned to the room and used the trauma medicine that Xu Guandong had given him before. He applied it several times to the skin wounds that had been rebounded when he tried to hit the periphery of the dark abyss. The effect was really good. The pain he felt before was gone after applying it. After a little bit, it almost dissipated.
I was tired today, so I didn¡¯t plan to practice. Instead, I took off my clothes and went to bed.
It¡¯s so satisfying.
Because, since Chu Jiande and others have returned home, the key to the prison will beOnce you get it, Ling'er can return to her.
Although he has never spent time with him, he is still someone that the former Master Xin cared about very much. Doing this can be regarded as compensation for taking away his physical body and continuing to live.
It¡¯s dawn the next day.
Before it was clear, there was a knock on the door: "Young Master, I believe you, Master."
"Huh?" Chu Xin opened his eyes, turned over and got up, and asked while getting dressed, "What's the matter?"
"The master of the house has sent someone over to ask you to go." the boy replied.
"Got it." Chu Xin responded, but he was confused: By summoning me so early, could it be that he knew about my cultivation promotion and couldn't wait to get confirmation?
Without thinking too much, he put on his clothes, washed himself with the cleaning utensils prepared by the two servants, and quickly headed to the main hall.
On the way there, I happened to see the heirs of each house walking out of their own courtyards one after another, and the direction happened to be the main courtyard of the hall.
Among them, when they saw Chu Qian, Chu Zheng and others were walking together and discussing in low voices. Also walking with them was Zhong Shuren.
I don¡¯t know what they were talking about, but their expressions were sometimes gloomy and sometimes secretly happy. Chu Xin even saw Chu Qian making a ¡®killing¡¯ gesture towards Zhong Shuren, and Zhong Shuren nodded repeatedly.
Just in time to catch a glimpse of Chu Xin walking towards him, their discussion came to an abrupt end, and they smiled and said, "Hey, brother Xin, why are you up so early?"
Even if you look at Chu Xin displeased and regard him as a thorn in his side, this is a person in the family and the elder Chu Xiong is interfering with him, so you don¡¯t have to be too embarrassed. If you meet him, you still have to say hello.
Thinking about what the few people were murmuring just now, they must be discussing something good, so they greeted me without any good intentions, and said lightly: "Aren't you the same?"
"Why, did grandpa call you a kid too?" Chu Zheng asked doubtfully, "It seems like you have really turned over a new leaf."
"When did I become a salted fish?" Chu Xin curled his lips and said, "But you, maybe one day you will become a smelly salted fish."
"you!"
Chu Zheng was about to stop scolding Chu Qian when he stopped him, shook his head and told him not to be impulsive, then smiled and smoothed things over and said: "Haha, I see that not only has your strength increased greatly, but also your tongue-tied skills have gradually improved. "
"It's not that there has been any progress, it's just that you didn't notice it before." Chu Xin smiled coquettishly and was too lazy to argue with them. He cupped his hands and said, "Brother Xin, go ahead and say goodbye." After that, he walked away.
"Bah! This wild bastard actually dares to talk to me like this. He's so arrogant!" Chu Zheng said bitterly.
"There's no rush, simmer over a warm fire, and sooner or later he won't be able to eat anymore and has to walk around." Chu Qian smiled calmly, looked at Zhong Shuren, and said, "Steward Zhong, do what I just told you to do as soon as possible."
"Okay, Master Qian, don't worry, take care of me. That bastard Chu Xin actually dared to kill my nephew. I must avenge this!" He glared at Chu Xin's back fiercely. , then he resigned from Chu Qian and went to work.
¡¡
A few minutes later, Chu Xin came to the main courtyard of the hall, and other heirs followed closely behind.
Under Chu Zhengxiao¡¯s greeting, they all sat down.
Chu Xin had never participated in such a family meeting before, so there was no seat for him in the hall. When he was at a loss, Chu Jinxue ordered someone to bring a chair next to him and said softly: "Brother Xin, come here Sit here."
"This" Chu Xin was startled and a little embarrassed. He looked up at the elders and found that they had no objection, so he didn't say much and quickly walked over to sit down.
At this time, everyone sat down.
The old man sitting in the seat with white hair and frosty temples, but with a lively expression and an expression of calm and self-importance, is the current head of the Chu family, Chu Jiande.
Five elders sat in rows around him.
Chu Zhengxiao and three other second-generation disciples were sitting around him. Chu Qian was also unusually placed next to his father, as if he was treated as a second-generation disciple.
As for Chu Xin and others, they sat at the bottom.
Everyone held their breath and no one dared to raise their voice.
"Zheng Xiao, is everyone here?" Chu Jiande said.
"Back to father, the second generation of disciples and the third generation of descendants are all here." Chu Zhengxiao said, cupping his fists.
"Yes." Chu Jiande nodded slightly and glanced at everyone. Especially when he was facing Chu Xin, a hint of deepness flashed across the corner of his eyes, but without saying much, he said loudly: "The main reason why you are here today is I want to say three things to you.¡±
When everyone heard this, they couldn¡¯t help but sit upright.
"First??This time I took three second-generation disciples to the Bijian Sect in Zhongshou Mountain to discuss the matter of core disciples of all races going to the Bijian Sect for further studies. "Chu Jiande said: "Originally, one person from each clan was scheduled. However, with the recent expansion of the Bijian Sect and the number of disciples under the sect, there have been more places left. In other words, from the previous one person, Expand to two people. As far as our Chu family is concerned, Qian'er has already been decided to go to the Bijian Sect. Then at this moment, one person will be selected from among your three generations of descendants to go with him. "
After receiving this shocking news, the three generations of disciples were all dumbfounded and started talking in low voices.
¡°It¡¯s great that there is still one person who has the opportunity to further his studies in the Jade Sword Sect.¡±
"The Bijian Sect has been established for more than a thousand years. There are many secret books on swordsmanship and there are many masters. If you can enter, it will be an eye-opener."
"The Bijian Sect also has a deep relationship with the dynasty. If you can get ahead in the Bijian Sect, you will be reused even in the dynasty in the future."
"Then he will definitely be the general's material from now on, but I don't know, who can have such luck?"
"It's hard to say, it's hard to say"
Chu Zheng was having a heated discussion with the brothers on the left and right, looking at each other. They all seemed to have this idea, but they did not dare to say it out easily.
As for Chu Xin, he is very indifferent. As long as he continues to practice step by step and believes that his strength will improve, it will be a matter of time.
Entering the Bijian Sect was indeed a good opportunity for further study, and he could not let it go, but he did not reveal his scheming.
Chu Jinxue, who was on the side, touched his arm thoughtfully and asked, "Brother Xin, did you hear that? There is still a place to enter the Bijian Sect. Do you want to go?"
"Haha" Chu Xin chuckled and said, "Just let it go. There are many experts in our Chu family, so it won't be my turn no matter what."
"How can that be possible? Your current strength is at the fourth level of sword energy. Although you are not top-notch, you are not insecure if you work hard." Chu Jinxue advised.
"Let's look at this later. I don't want to think about these things now."
"But¡¡"
Just as Chu Jinxue was about to speak, Chu Jiande coughed when he saw the heated discussions among his descendants, and immediately silenced the voices below.
"As for the second one, it is linked to another candidate." Chu Jiande solemnly said: "In ten days, it will be our Chu family's annual beginning of the year competition. This candidate will be the next one. The first person to compete will go. Of course, Qian'er does not count as a ranking. He is now the number one disciple of the third generation of my Chu family. In other words, whoever can compete with Qian'er on the same stage by then will pass. .¡±
Hearing this, although the heirs did not say anything, their thoughts were very enthusiastic.
"Now, in the Chu family, the ones whose strength is second only to Chu Qian are Chu Zhengxiao's second son, Chu Qing, who has the strength of the mid-fifth sword qi, and Chu Zhengchun's eldest son, Chu Wen, who has the late-fifth sword qi.
As for the other descendants, they are either in the early stage of the fifth stage, or in the fourth stage, or even lingering in the third stage.
Like Chu Xin, it is absolutely impossible for him to reach the middle stage of the fourth quarter of Sword Qi as everyone knows it.
Therefore, everyone now unanimously believes that the candidate will definitely be chosen between Chu Qing and Chu Wen.
"Brother Wen, I think this candidate must be you." Chu Wen is Chu Zheng's eldest brother, so naturally the relationship is extraordinary, so he praised.
Chu Wen, who has always been indifferent, waved his hand and said: "You can't say this nonsense, just let it happen."
"If you ask me, it should be Brother Qing." At this time, another heir on the side said flatteringly to Chu Qing.
Chu Qing¡¯s face was full of confidence. In the clan, except for his eldest brother Chu Qian, he felt that he had no rival.
Even Chu Wen didn¡¯t take it seriously. Although he didn¡¯t say anything, he smiled and nodded in agreement to his fawning younger brothers and sisters.
No matter whether they were Chu Qing or Chu Wen, no matter how heated the quarrel between them was, no one paid attention to Chu Xin from the beginning to the end.
With this guy¡¯s strength, let¡¯s just cool off.
Looking at the eyes of those brothers, Chu Xin did not use too much, but treated them calmly: We will see when the time comes, who will really win, it is too early to say now.
"Brother Xin, don't care about their opinions, I believe you can do it." Chu Jinxue encouraged.
Chu Xin nodded, did not speak, but raised his head and looked at his grandfather.
Chu Jiande was about to speak when suddenly Zhong Shuren shouted from outside the door: "It's not good! It's not good!"
Everyone stopped talking immediately and looked at Zhong Shuren, who was running in a hurry.
"Why are you so alarmed? Tell me quickly!" Chu Zhengxiao shouted sharply.
Zhong Shuren took a few deep breaths and then said: "That Ling'er, then Ling'er"
"What's wrong with Ling'er?" Chu Xin was startled and stood up immediately and asked.
Zhong Shuren glanced at him, then looked at Chu Qian and others, and then said: "Ling'er she hanged herself!"
