Fairy, why bother with me? I am really a yellow-haired villain.

After saying that, a pure and powerful spiritual power flowed from the hands of the two men to Mu Jixue.

Mu Jixue was stunned: "Xiaoyu, you have already reached the seventh level of Qi Refining?!"

She was extremely surprised. Although she had already known that Lin Zhongyu's talent had recovered, it would still take a long time to make up for the lost progress.

Mu Jixue originally thought that Lin Zhongyu would not be able to make it to the disciple selection ceremony, but she did not expect that Lin Zhongyu's cultivation level would improve so quickly!

The seventh level of Qi Refining is considered a very good level in Cangzhou City. If you work hard, you may really have a chance to enter the Xuantian Sect.

Mu Jixue was ecstatic. She rushed to Lin Zhongyu and hugged her tightly.

"Great! Great! Xiaoyu! This way we can be together again, right?"

Lin Zhongyu's face flushed with excitement as she nodded. "I should be able to do it if I try hard. To be on the safe side, I need to intensify my training these days. Also, there will be a competition arena during the disciple selection ceremony, so I need to pick a weapon that I'm comfortable with beforehand."

"Shall we go to the market today?"

"Well, that's what I meant."

"Great, I'll go change now."

Mu Jixue was like a child who never grew up. When she heard that she could go out shopping, she was so happy that she went back to her room to change clothes.

She was all smiles, but once she returned to her room, her smile faded.

"Xiaoyu has a strange smell."

Mu Jixue lowered her head and talked to herself.

Just when she hugged Lin Zhongyu, she felt the scent of someone else. She felt very strange. She and Xiaoyu had clearly slept together last night, so how could Xiaoyu be scented with someone else's scent?

Xiaoyu's cultivation suddenly became very fast, and something seemed amiss. Of course, she was not jealous or questioning Xiaoyu's ability, but was simply afraid that Xiaoyu had been deceived.

After all, Xiaoyu is so innocent and kind, and it is easy for her to become a target for others. Only I can protect her.

"Could it be that man..."

Mu Jixue's mind flashed with Yun Zhonghe's face. For some reason, she felt an indescribable sense of disharmony in her heart.

It even made her feel a little uneasy.

Add to that the prophecies in the Book of Prophecy...

Mu Jixue felt like a weak and helpless little animal who had encountered a natural enemy.

"What happened to Xiaoyu? If only the Book of Prophecy was still there..."

When Mu Jixue thought of this, she felt very lost. The lost book of prophecy has not been found yet.

If the Book of Prophecy still existed, perhaps we could know what happened to Xiaoyu...

"No, how could I think that? I should believe Xiaoyu."

Mu Jixue shook her head, trying to forget these wild thoughts.

As the only person who supports Xiaoyu, how can I not trust her?

It's just a strange smell. Maybe Xiaoyu accidentally picked it up while exercising in the morning.

Mu Jixue was convinced by herself and immediately felt much better. She also became more relaxed when changing clothes.

……

Compared to the troubled Mu Jixue, Yun Zhonghe was more excited.

After finishing his meeting with Lin Zhongyu last night, he was a little excited when he thought about the smooth progress. He couldn't sleep at all, so he continued to practice sword.

He managed to push his proficiency in "Nine Swords of Heaven" to perfection.

He mastered a set of sword techniques to perfection in just one day. Even the elders of Xuantian Sect would be amazed.

But it's normal. After all, Yun Zhonghe was a master gamer in his previous life. The weapon he is best at in this game is the sword. Basically, he knows all the key points of sword techniques very well. As long as he gets more familiar with the actual operations, he will be able to get started quickly.

That's why he was so confident that he could master both sets of swordsmanship before carrying out the small town mission.

"I've been practicing for so long, it's time to take a break. It's dawn now, and the market is open, so I'll take this opportunity to go take a look."

In order to cope with the small town mission, Yun Zhonghe needs to make some preparations in advance. At the same time, he also wants to find a prop that is more important in the early stage.

In the original game, Cangzhou City, as a novice village, only produces first-grade (human-level) and second-grade (yellow-level) props, but in the market, there is a certain probability of triggering a hidden plot of third-grade (Xuan-level) props.

The third-grade (Xuan-level) props here are extremely rare and in short supply. Even if the Yun family is rich, they may not be able to own them.

Yun Zhonghe remembered that the hidden item in Cangzhou City was a piece of Ice Heart Grass, which grew near the grass that had been struck by lightning. It was a rare spiritual grass that could only be formed by lightning strikes in the Nascent Soul stage or above.

Ice Heart Grass is not very useful to ordinary cultivators, so it is easily overlooked, but for Mu Jixue, who has ice spiritual roots, it is very useful.

Ice Heart Grass can permanently increase the cultivation speed of cultivators with ice spiritual roots by 10%, and it can also increase the probability of forming a nine-patterned golden elixir.

Now Yun Zhonghe's cultivation is bound to Huang Aotian. If he can obtain the Bingxin Grass and give it to Huang Aotian, it will be equivalent to a huge improvement in Yun Zhonghe's potential.

Even if it wasn't to please Huang Aotian, Yun Zhonghe had to find a way to get it for his own sake.

Chapter 20 Hidden Item - Ice Heart Grass

As a hidden item in the Novice Village, Ice Heart Grass is not easy to obtain. Yun Zhonghe, a multi-round player, knows that there are as many as five possible locations where it may appear.

Because it's a random event.

The official game developers are very cunning. In order to make players spend more time exploring, they deliberately create a lot of uncertainties. Once the exploration time is too long, the refund period will be over.

Yun Zhonghe could only go to the market to look for it based on his memory and luck.

……

Cangzhou City Market is also located in the east of the city. Unlike another market in the city that is open to ordinary people, the stall owners here are all cultivators, and their customers are also cultivators.

But the level of liveliness is completely different from that of the markets outside.

"Take a look, take a look at the latest unearthed treasures!"

"I dug up some spiritual herbs on the way to the Immortal Alliance mission. One spiritual stone for each plant. Come and take a look!"

"The Immortal Sword Sect's latest Black Iron Sword! Come quickly, fellow Taoists! The quicker the better!"

"Medium-grade Peiyuan Pills, medium-grade Jianti Pills, ten spirit stones per bottle..."

Yun Zhonghe walked in the market and felt like he was in a vegetable market.

All this seemed quite new to him, and he looked around curiously.

"Master, is there anything you need? Actually, you can ask Jiuer to help you buy it. Why do you have to come here in person?"

Tao Jiuer also followed behind Yun Zhonghe. She blinked her beautiful eyes and felt quite strange about Yun Zhonghe's recent abnormal behavior.

Although it was abnormal, everything was developing in a good direction. Especially when Chen knew that her son had started to become a good man, she cried with joy and said that Yun Zhonghe had finally come to his senses and the Yun family finally had a successor.

But Tao Jiuer was also happy. After all, she had watched Yun Zhonghe grow up, and now she felt quite gratified that her family had a son who had become a capable person.

Unconsciously, the naughty boy who was ignorant at the beginning has become handsome and elegant, especially his performance in front of the Immortal Alliance yesterday, which still makes her feel deeply moved.

"No need, I just want to go out for a walk." Yun Zhonghe said with a smile.

"Then I will accompany you for a walk. If you have any other needs, please feel free to tell me." Tao Jiuer smiled and took Yun Zhonghe's arm, leaning gently against him.

"Uh, okay, Sister Jiuer, please do as you please." Yun Zhonghe didn't pay much attention to it.

The two of them were so familiar with each other that Yun Zhonghe didn't think much about it.

His eyes lingered on the stalls selling spiritual herbs.

The problem was that these spiritual herbs looked extremely normal, and he didn't know how to get the Ice Heart Grass.

After all, in the game, if you get close to Ice Heart Grass, an exclamation mark will appear above the player's head, but there will be no exclamation mark here.

Yun Zhonghe felt a little annoyed. If he had known earlier, he would have looked up some information and learned about the characteristics of the spiritual herbs before coming to Taobao.

A bit of a miscalculation.

But soon, Yun Zhonghe's attention was attracted by a small stall next to him.

It was a grocery stall that sold everything: talismans, spiritual herbs, pills, magic weapon fragments, etc.

Yun Zhonghe was attracted by a black wooden stick on the stall.

When his eyes met the black gaze, the book of prophecy in his sea of ​​consciousness trembled slightly.

【purchase】

Another one-word reminder.

But because of his previous experience, Yun Zhonghe understood what he meant and guessed that this was what he was looking for.

I didn't expect the Book of Prophecy to be so useful.

But why is this Ice Heart Grass on a wooden stick?

I remember that the shape of Ice Heart Grass in the game was not so unique.

"Boss, how much are the things on your stall?"

The stall owner looked up and took a look at Yun Zhonghe's clothes. When he saw that he was a big customer, he immediately became attentive.

"A talisman costs three spirit stones, pills have prices labeled on them, and spiritual herbs cost one spirit stone each..."

The boss noticed that Yun Zhonghe's eyes were on the pile of miscellaneous items where the black wooden sticks were, and hurriedly began to introduce the things.

"As for this pile over here, I picked them up during my training. Just give them as you see fit, or if you buy something from my stall, I'll give you one. How about that?"

The boss still knows how to do business. He knows that Yun Zhonghe is an extraordinary person, so it is better to make friends with him than to make money from him.

Yun Zhonghe nodded and bought all the talismans on the stall.

There are five stealth talismans and twenty explosive talismans in total.

Pills and spiritual herbs are useless to Yun Zhonghe. His cultivation has been bound to Huang Aotian. However, this talisman is a good choice.

Before reaching the Golden Elixir stage, cultivators are basically unable to use spells. Only from a super power like the Immortal Alliance can they learn simple spells, but the cost is not small.

When Qi-refining and foundation-building monks want to cast spells, they usually choose talismans, which have similar effects to simple spells and can be used and discarded immediately without consuming the person's spiritual power.

Even many Jindan stage cultivators are still accustomed to using talismans.

The cost of the talisman is not low, one is worth three spirit stones, which is unaffordable for ordinary cultivators.

However, the Yun family is wealthy, and talismans are also important strategic material reserves, so there is no loss if they buy more. In the eyes of the Yun family, this is the most serious thing.

So Tao Jiuer took out the money without hesitation.

Twenty-five talismans, a total of seventy-five spirit stones. The stall owner smiled so hard that his mouth almost stretched to his ears, and quickly asked Yun Zhonghe to pick any gift.

The stall owner was very happy and invited Yun Zhonghe to come again next time.

Yun Zhonghe thought to himself: It won’t come again.

After successfully buying what he wanted, Yun Zhonghe prepared to go home.

I felt a lot more at ease when I touched the things I just bought in my arms.

Hidden props are available!

……

"Xue'er, this is the market in the east of the city. It's really lively."

Almost at the same time, the two little cuties also arrived at the market town.

This was Lin Zhongyu's first time in the East City Market, and his curious eyes were almost identical to Yun Zhonghe's.

Mu Jixue held Lin Zhongyu's hand tightly: "Xiaoyu, there are a lot of people here, you have to hold on to me, don't get separated."

"Yeah." Lin Zhongyu's heart warmed and she smiled sweetly. Then she stood on tiptoe and continued to look around. "There are so many people here. Everyone must be looking for the right cultivation supplies for themselves."

"After all, for us cultivators, it is very difficult to practice relying solely on our own strength. Relying on external objects to improve strength is the most common situation. Basically, all the cultivators in the city will come here to stroll around, maybe they can find some treasures." Mu Jixue explained.

However, Lin Zhongyu did not respond immediately. An idea came to her mind, wondering if she could meet Yun Zhonghe here.

Yun Zhonghe left suddenly last night, and she hadn't had time to say a lot to him. It felt like there were a lot of things blocked in her heart, and she felt a little suffocated.

But at first glance, he didn't see the familiar golden hair at all, and Lin Zhongyu couldn't help but show regret on his little face.

That’s right, the Yun family is so rich, how could Yun Zhonghe lack resources? Even if he wants to run away, he can just arrange for his servants to do it.

However, what Lin Zhongyu didn't know was that her expression at the moment was completely imprinted in Mu Jixue's eyes.

She could tell at a glance that her childhood sweetheart was thinking about someone else!
