C23 You've Grown up

But at this time, Xiao Jian was very certain that the one inside was a Qilin Holy Beast. If it really was a Qilin Holy Beast, once this kind of news spread out, the entire Jiuzhou County would probably shake.

After all, Qilin Holy Beast practically only existed in legends. As long as one obtains a drop of Qilin blood, perhaps one would be able to become a proud son of heaven whose name shocked all of Nine Prefectures Eighteen Cities.

If they could obtain the legendary Qilin Tears, or even the Qilin's corpse, then this family would be reborn in a matter of minutes, becoming the number one clan in Nine Prefectures Eighteen Cities.

Right now, there were countless Nine Prefectures Eighteen Cities Clans, with varying in strength and power. However, no other family dared to claim that they were the number one clan in Nine Prefectures Eighteen Cities, and even Mu Family did not have such confidence.

"If you don't believe me, you can take a look. As for how I found out, this is a secret and I can't tell you now. "

Xiao Jian smiled and said mysteriously.

"Alright! I still have one more question to ask you! "

Mu Qingxue pursed her lips and said gloomily. Although she wanted to know how Xiao Jian found out, she was helpless if Xiao Jian didn't say it.

This young man only looked to be around the same age as her, but the thoughts in her mind and the depth of his shrewdness made her feel as if he was an old monster who had gone through the world's experience, giving her a feeling that she couldn't see through him.

"Go ahead!"

Xiao Jian looked at Mu Qingxue and said.

"What is the use of this thing?"

Mu Qingxue opened her palm. In her palm was a translucent jade bottle. This jade bottle was really the jade bottle that Xiao Jian had left to Mu Qingxue previously, so Xiao Jian naturally recognized it.

"Purification and body tempering." As for the actual results, you'll know once you try. At the peak of the fifth level of your Core Condensation Stage, do you feel like you have encountered a bottleneck and are unable to find a way forward? "

Xiao Jian paused for a while and said.

Mu Qingxue was stunned for a moment when she heard that. Xiao Jian's words hit the nail right on the head. She was now sixteen and was already at the fifth level of the Core Formation stage. Compared to her peers, she was far ahead.

However, after reaching the fifth stage of the Core Condensation Stage, she felt that she had encountered some sort of obstacle, and was unable to find her way forward.

"How do you know?"

Mu Qingxue asked with a puzzled expression.

"When you fell asleep last night, I checked your condition!"

Xiao Jian was blunt, this girl slept very well in his arms last night. When he mentioned last night, Mu Qingxue's face reddened again. That look of hers was extremely mesmerizing.

"Then it's all right! This is for you! "

Mu Qingxue pursed her lips and handed a bell to Xiao Jian. Then, she turned around and left, as if she was running away. Seeing this, Xiao Jian couldn't help but laugh.

Ye Zichen looked at the bell in his hand. How could Xiao Jian not know about this thing? The Soul-Chasing Bell was usually a pair, and he was currently holding one of them.

As long as the Profound Qi was injected into the Soul-Chasing Bell, the other one would ring as well. Don't look at such a small one, there is a small Demonic Beast living inside the bell, called the Soul Catcher Bee.

The Soul Hunting Bees would normally only be Rank 1 Demonic Beast, but their lifespan was extremely long. They were usually a female and a male, living in pairs. The pair of Soul Hunting Bees would be able to communicate with each other. If one party was in danger or affected, the other party would also be able to sense it.

Therefore, when he was in danger, as long as he injected the Profound Qi into the Soul-Chaser Bell, the Soul-Catcher Bee inside would become restless. When this uneasiness was transmitted to the other Soul-Chasing Bell, Mu Qingxue would know that he was in danger, and after releasing the Soul-Catching Bee inside the bell, she would be able to follow the Soul-Chaser Bee to find out where he was.

This girl had given this bell to him because she was worried that he would encounter some danger. Thinking of this, Xiao Jian's heart warmed.

He stood up, carried the huge boulder on his back and continued to walk in the direction of the Fire Mountain. After walking for another two hours, he would arrive at the periphery of the Fire Mountain.

He wasn't in a hurry. He came out this time for several reasons, one was to train his physique, and the other was for the Fire Lingzhi. The Fire Lingzhi was very useful in suppressing the cold poison in the little girl's body.

Although Wu Family also had a way to suppress the cold poison in Wu Qingcheng's body, in Xiao Jian's opinion, that wasn't the best way, which was why he insisted on helping Wu Qingcheng suppress the cold poison in her body.

In addition to these two purposes, he also wanted to meet an old friend and fulfill his promise.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jian continued moving forward and gradually disappeared into the forest …

Outside the Fire Mountain, in a tent within a camp, a sixteen or seventeen year old youth was sitting upright on the seat of honor. At this time, an old man walked in.

"Young Master Ming Hao, we've found the information you wanted!"

The old man walked in and said.

"Oh? "Thank you, Seventh Elder, for finding out something. Tell me what it is!"

The young man's expression was a bit feminine. When Shi Minghao heard that the old man had found out the news, his eyes lit up. He casually picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip and said calmly.

"That piece of trash, Xiao Family, has indeed already left the Xiao Family alone. Right now, he is walking alone towards the outskirts of the Fire Mountain, and before the sky turns dark, he should be able to reach the outskirts. It's just that he's a bit far from us!"

The old man said excitedly, this was a huge discovery. He never thought that trash young Master, who was in Xiao Family, would be able to enter Fire Mountain by himself.

"It's not a problem. Does he have anyone around to protect him?"

Shi Minghao squinted his eyes and waved his hand.

"No, it was allegedly driven out by the Xiao Family's team!" Shi Zhiyuan shook his head, and said with certainty, then continued to speak: "As long as we enter Fire Mountain, even if we don't make a move, this trash will be killed by Demonic Beast!"

When he said this, Shi Zhiyuan's eyes flashed with a trace of malice.

"No, no, no, that's completely different. It was our credit for killing him. If we didn't kill him, then what does the collapse of Xiao Family have to do with us? "

Shi Minghao shook his head and denied.

"Young Master Ming Hao is right!"

Shi Zhiyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this. Although he was an elder of the Shi Family and Shi Minghao was only a member of the Shi Family's side branch, he had no choice but to call Shi Minghao "Young Master".

The reason was simple. He was the nephew of Shi Minghao's Shi Family family, and his talent was not bad either.

"Some time ago, news spread that people were fighting for power in the Xiao Family, although I don't know why it died down in the end. But as the only son of the Xiao Family Patriarch, Xiao Family Young Patriarch, as long as he is dead, Xiao Family will definitely fall into internal strife. Xiao Jian's cousins will definitely not be able to get away with it.

Shi Minghao stood up and said confidently with his distant eyes. At the critical moment, his eyes were filled with pride.

This Xiao Jian really came at the right time. As long as he killed Xiao Jian, he would have the chance to claim credit from the family.

"Young Master Ming Hao is indeed thoughtful. No wonder the Patriarch thinks so highly of the Young Master!" I also did not think that this piece of trash would have such an important function after careful analysis! "

Shi Zhiyuan's eyes lit up. He secretly exclaimed to himself how terrifying Shi Minghao's shrewdness was.

Let's let him go for a while, then send someone to follow him. Once he enters the Fire Mountain, we can settle him! Just send a few capable people over there. It's just a piece of trash, there won't be any trouble at all! "

Shi Minghao's eyes narrowed as a sinister look flashed across them. The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile, as if he was sure that Xiao Jian would die under his hands.

"Understood, I'll arrange it right away!"

Shi Zhiyuan nodded and said. After bidding farewell to Shi Minghao, he withdrew himself. Shi Minghao, who was in the tent, suddenly thought of something and a thought-provoking smile appeared on his face.

After leaving Xiao Jian, Mu Qingxue immediately returned to the Xiao Family camp. Her cultivation was already at the fifth level of the Core Formation Stage, so she was unable to enter the Flame Valley.

"Miss, did you come over from the Greenwood City?"

Just as Mu Qingxue entered the Mu Family camp, a slightly aged voice rang out. An old man walked towards Mu Qingxue, behind him was a young man around sixteen to seventeen years old.

When the young man saw Mu Qingxue, his eyes were burning with passion. Sensing the young man's burning gaze, Mu Qingxue frowned in disgust.

"It's from the Greenwood City. Elder Li, what's the matter?"

Mu Qingxue said coldly. Lee Qinglin, a guest elder of the Mu Family, had a cultivation at the seventh level of the Golden Core Stage. This time, he was the one leading the group, leading the Mu Family's young generation into the Fire Mountain.

As long as it was a family that entered the Fire Mountain, they were basically all led by an elder, led by a member of the family whose cultivation was at the peak of the Third Layer of Core Condensation.

"The Patriarch repeatedly reminded you not to have any contact with Xiao Family. You should know that the Patriarch is extremely dissatisfied with such a marriage! "

Lee Qinglin cupped his hands and said with a face full of smiles.

"I know what I'm doing. I can take care of my own matters!"

Mu Qingxue's tone remained cold. She didn't have a good impression of Lee Qinglin.

"Since Miss has said so, this old man is relieved. Right, this is my nephew Lee Zhe, who is currently sixteen years old, and his cultivation is already at the peak of the third level of Core Condensation Stage. This time, he will represent his clan and enter the Flame Valley. This nephew of mine admires Miss Mu more than anything and wants me to introduce her to him. You and him are both young people, so you might be able to find a lot of common topics to talk about! "

Lee Qinglin said with an ambiguous smile. Obviously, he wanted his nephew to be able to get on Mu Qingxue's branch. However, Mu Qingxue did not seem to be interested. She did not even give Lee Zhe a glance from the beginning to the end.
