When Ximen Chi personally said that the target of the challenge would be Ximen Tower, Gu Xuan knew that his direct descendants were indeed prepared.

When he first entered the arena, Ximenlou didn't hold back and revealed the reality of Gu Xuan's movements. Although he got the head start, it confirmed this speculation.

Gu Xuan was calm and calm, using Ximen Shu's temper to anger his opponent while thinking of countermeasures.

As soon as Fang takes action, he attacks with two consecutive attacks, not only showing his tyrannical strength, but also testing the opponent's combat power.

Sure enough, feeling the tremendous pressure from their opponents, Ximen Tower resorted to powerful means.

Although he was mentally prepared, Gu Xuan was still a little surprised when he saw his opponent's teleportation, and quickly formulated a strategy.

Gu Xuan retaliates with tit for tat, directly saying that in order to win, the direct lineage used powerful treasures to arm Ximen Tower's fighting power.

This is indeed the case. Ximen Tower originally only had bone blades and a turtle shell shield as a reward for winning second place in the competition.

The pair of leather boots that could teleport were a temporary gift, just to counter Gu Xuan's movement skills.

Ximenlou even got a promise that as long as he won the battle, the leather boots would not be taken back, but would be rewarded directly to him.

The attack of the bone blade and the defense of the turtle shell shield are both in the form of white light. Coupled with the teleportation of the leather boots, defeating Ximen Shu should be a piece of cake.

The direct line had already made a good plan, but the result was counterproductive.

The "Old Eagle Body Technique" practiced in Ximen Tower is completely different from teleportation. It is easy to perform teleportation with leather boots. If you want to apply it flexibly, you need to accumulate experience.

He did not continue to teleport. The main reason was this, and he thought that Gu Xuan was performing a special move, so he used a turtle shell shield to block it.

Gu Xuan worked step by step, all the preparations were for the final goal of striking out six swords at close range and winning in one fell swoop.

Even so, Ximenlou was able to get second place in the direct line competition. He has rich combat experience and very sharp reactions. He teleported to avoid the last three swords.

I just didn't expect that Gu Xuan's skill was superior, and the first three swords hit the vital point.

If Ximen Tower teleports to avoid it and does not choose to fight head-on, Gu Xuan plans to jointly use the Riptide Power and Shadow Technique to use the overwhelming true energy flow to exhaust the opponent's true power.

In the eyes of many onlookers on the viewing platform, they saw Gu Xuan teleporting closer to him, while Ximen Tower teleported away to avoid it.

In the next scene, Gu Xuan sheathed his sword inexplicably and brazenly claimed to have won the challenge.

As a result, low-ranking warriors questioned one after another, and many dandy boys who bet on the victory of Ximen Tower even raised their voices.

Those high-level warriors who had experienced hundreds of battles remained silent and stared at Gu Xuan's figure with solemn expressions on their faces.

In the viewing pavilion, Lu Biao sat upright and watched silently, his expression as usual.

Nianhua Zhenren commented: "Although Ximen Shu is said to be unruly, he has unique vision and sharp reactions. This battle seems to be easy to win, but in fact it is like a master playing chess, taking advantage of every step, wonderful!"

Ximen Chi twisted his beard and smiled: "Ximen Shu is so outstanding, I am deeply proud of it, and my face is shining. There is no suspense in this battle. If the fight continues, Ximen Tower will only bring humiliation to itself."

Lu Biao then smiled calmly and answered slowly: "Master Nianhua's evaluation is fair. Ancestor Zhang has a sharp eye for discernment. I am deeply convinced."

Ximen Chi announced loudly: "In this challenge, Ximen Shu, the collateral Taoist priest, has won. He will represent the Ximen family and explore the blessed land of the Qianqiu with Emperor Xi."

On the ring, Ximenlou looked at Gu Xuan with a complicated expression: "I've heard that all the explorers from the side branch have outstanding combat capabilities. When I saw them today, it turned out to be so."

Gu Xuan laughed and held his hands

He said: "My young master has always had this temperament since he started practicing Taoism. I have offended him a lot just now. I hope my brother will forgive me."

Without waiting for Ximen Tower to reply, Gu Xuan stood up, two balls of white air appeared under his feet, and he stepped up in the air.

After glancing at Gu Xuan's back, Ximenlou sighed softly, then turned around and quickly swept back to the viewing platform.

As soon as he saw Gu Xuanluo outside the viewing pavilion, Master Nianhua showed admiration and said with a smile: "Little friend of the book, if we come to the secret place in the future and come across something suitable for alchemy, you can take it and offer it to me as a gift.

In return, you will receive a Pregnancy Pill that I personally refined."

Gu Xuan's expression changed, and he quickly sent a message and agreed: "Master Nianhua's instructions, I will keep them in mind."

Ximen Chi actually also sent a message to Gu Xuan: "You are so enthusiastic about the explorers of the secret land. I think you have already learned about the reward from Emperor Xi. Compared with other Dao seedlings, you need the middle-grade Spirit Summoning Pill the most, and now you have got what you wanted.

, just know it in your heart and don’t show it off everywhere.”

Gu Xuan respectfully transmitted the message: "This matter is of great importance. I will bear in mind Patriarch Zhang's teachings and keep my mouth shut."

…

Above the high-altitude clouds, a silver spirit boat was flying rapidly.

After flying away from Cuishan, Lu Biao slowly asked: "In addition to visiting old friends, Master Nianhua also watched the battle on behalf of the imperial court. Why did he send a message to you?"

Gu Xuan had already expected that Lu Biao would ask this question, so he did not conceal it and informed him of all the transmissions from Master Nianhua.

"I see." Lu Biao looked astonished, "Even if the secret place is as Zhenhua said, and you have obtained the alchemy artifact, it will not be easy to dedicate it to her... That's all, I will do it for you then, and I won't ask you

Suffer a loss."

"Thank you, Master." Gu Xuan thought of Master Leng Ye's instructions, "I think Master Nianhua only mentioned it casually, or gave instructions to many explorers."

"Cast the net widely and catch more fish. This statement makes sense." Lu Biao nodded, "I heard that after Zhenren Nianhua became the only alchemist, ordinary elixirs are difficult to detect at all, and the secret place is strange and unpredictable. It is unbelievable that she would give this advice.

normal."

Gu Xuan transferred the question: "I heard what Master Nianhua said, the owner's joining of Ximen Villa is actually a bet with Patriarch Shu?"

"First of all, let me correct you. I did not join Ximen Villa. I just worked hard for hundreds of years and did my best."

Speaking of this, Lu Biao paused slightly, as if he was recalling something.

"Brother Shu and I have a close relationship. It's not like we don't get to know each other without fighting. In the competition back then, it was only because I had not yet developed my magical powers that I was inferior. If we fight again now, the outcome is still uncertain."

Gu Xuan smiled and said: "Ancestor Shu once said that the strength of the owner of the village is better than that of ordinary people in the early stage of the magic realm."

Lu Biao did not answer: "When Brother Shu comes out of confinement, the hundred-year period is approaching, and I should find another place."

Gu Xuan's expression changed: "Where will the owner of the village be promoted?"

Lu Biao smiled slightly, but it was not a profound statement: "The world is vast, I still have the potential to advance, and I don't want to stop here."

Wang Mang suddenly spoke up: "There have long been arguments in the Xi Kingdom cultivation circles that Lu Biao may be the first to advance to the magic realm."

Lu Biao changed the subject: "In this grand ceremony, you can explore the secret place, and there is a middle-grade spirit-summoning pill. Other Taoist seedlings do not have this opportunity. I hope you can do your best to collect the medicine and provide more spiritual-summoning pills for the side line."

Make a contribution.”

Gu Xuan's expression became serious: "The side branch wants to regain its former strength, and the Tao Dao Festival is an opportunity. I am a branch of the Taoist seedlings in my lower body, and I have no shirking responsibility."

…

As night falls, the cold wind blows, and the silver spirit boat flies back to Ximen Villa.

Gu Xuan walked into Shuxiangyuan, glanced at him, and

Ran saw Xiaozi and Xiaobai playing hide and seek in the courtyard.

Xiaoji was hiding behind a big tree and heard Gu Xuan's footsteps. He thought Xiaobai was looking for him, but there was no reaction.

Little did they know, Xiao Bai, who was covered with a scarf, was groping around.

Wang Mang used his telekinesis and reminded aloud: "Ximen Fei and five herb collectors are waiting in the living room."

Gu Xuan had already heard the sound coming from the living room, so he walked to the living room by himself without disturbing the two servants.

As expected, Ximen Fei and the five herbal collectors were all sitting in the living room, each with a cup of spiritual tea on the coffee table.

They chatted happily, and when they saw Gu Xuan come in, they all stood up to greet him.

Gu Xuan was not rude and greeted everyone one by one before sitting on the main seat.

Ximen Fei turned his eyes and got straight to the point: "Brother Shu is walking like a dragon and a tiger is walking like a tiger, with the spring breeze on his face. In my opinion, this trip must be a triumphant return."

Gu Xuan nodded: "The challenge was a little twisty, but in the end I got what I wanted."

Ximen Qing answered: "With Master Shu's fighting prowess, victory is almost guaranteed, but I am quite interested in the twists and turns that Master Shu has encountered."

Gu Xuan did not hide anything, and in an angry tone, he strongly condemned the bad behavior of his direct lineage in changing challenge targets and equipping them with powerful treasures.

The group of people listened silently, and Ximen Qing was the first to snort: "None of my direct descendants are good birds. When I went to Cuishan, I was ridiculed a lot for my appearance."

At the end of the sentence, Ximen Qing turned his head and glanced at Ximen Fei, whether intentionally or not.

Ximen Zhai, who was nearly forty years old, said with an expressionless face: "Although Ximen Tower is quite powerful, if we fight alone, I am absolutely confident that we can take it down."

Ximentai, who was in his early thirties, had a serious look on his face: "That was the Ximen Tower in the past. When I faced off against Master Shu, this man had three top-quality talismans. His combat power was more than doubled?"

Jing Xiu was over fifty years old, wearing a gray robe and twirling his goatee. He smiled slightly at Gu Xuan: "I have never been to the Ximen Tower, so it's hard to comment. But Master Shu can defeat three top-quality talismans. His combat power is so strong that it's hard to judge."

Speculation.”

Ximen Fei touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "It seems that the direct lineage has spent a lot of money to enhance the strength of the herbal collectors."

Gu Xuan said with a smile: "On the way back to the village, the owner of the village personally revealed that there will be some rewards for each herbal collector to increase their combat power."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several medicinal collectors were more or less happy.

Ximen Qing looked at Gu Xuan: "Master Shu is an explorer, how do you know what he is doing in the blessed land of Qianqiu?"

When Gu Xuan heard this, he frowned: "Old Ancestor Zhang didn't say it clearly. He only said that on the third day of the Wen Dao Ceremony, he would explore a dangerous place with Emperor Xi's clone. But I have an unknown premonition. I don't know whether this trip is a blessing or not.

disaster."

Ximen Fei said: "Brother Shu, please relax. With Emperor Xi's clone leading the team, we can handle many risks."

Ximen Zhai asked: "I heard from Master Qing that Master Shu has reached an agreement with others to jointly collect herbs?"

"That's true." Gu Xuan nodded, "In my opinion, it is best for those of us who collect herbs from the collateral line to have the same Qi and join the branches, and the elixirs we collect cannot be inferior to those from the direct line."

Ximentai sighed: "We have this intention, but it's a pity that Master Shu can't participate. It's a big regret."

Gu Xuan said seriously: "Two days before the grand ceremony, if we are lucky enough to meet, we can go together."

Ximen Qing's eyes flashed: "I heard that on the third day of the Taoist Ceremony, the herb collectors will plunder each other. There are twice as many direct herb collectors, and there is a team of war cultivators. We and I are just a handful of people, and it's hard to compare."
