Asking about longevity

Linghuxiao, who couldn't laugh, finished announcing his family and stared at the ink painting with his eyes like a sword.

The ink painting also handed over and said:

"Taixu Gate, ink painting."

Linghu smiled for a moment, then remembered that Chongxu Sect and Taixu Sect were from the same lineage, and could be regarded as sects with connections. His expression softened a lot, and the hostility in his eyes gradually dissipated.

Mo Hua's eyes moved slightly, remembering what happened before, and asked:

"Do you have a grudge against Duanjinmen?"

Linghuxiao hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly and said: "So..."

"What hatred?" Mo Hua was very curious.

Linghuxiao didn't often talk to people, but Mo Hua looked at him with bright eyes, and he always felt that it would be bad not to say anything.

Moreover, the previous conflict between the two was caused by his own misjudgment.

Although he is aloof and arrogant, he always makes things clear.

Linghu smiled and said:

"The disciples of Duanjinmen are despicable and shameless. They steal my prey again and again in this mountain."

"I fought against them many times and made a lot of enemies."

"Today I saw this eagle fell off the cliff with golden sword marks on its body, so I thought it was Duan Jinmen hunting monsters. It was Duan Jinmen's prey. Of course, I snatched it away..."

Linghu said with a smile, and looked at the ink painting again, "Besides, you are not wearing sect robes, and I don't know your identity..."

…

"oh……"

Mo Hua suddenly understood, and he probably understood.

Linghu smiled when he saw the hawk demon and saw golden sword marks on it, suspecting that it was caused by the Broken Gold Sword Qi from Broken Golden Gate.

In fact, he guessed correctly, this was indeed caused by the Broken Gold Sword Qi from the Broken Golden Gate.

It's just the sword energy that I simulated using the Broken Gold Sword Formation.

And this hawk demon was injured by his own sword.

Before entering this mountain, in order to keep a low profile, he followed the example of others and changed out of the Taixu Sect's Taoist robes, wearing only light gray regular clothes.

Linghuxiao couldn't recognize his identity, so he naturally thought that he was a disciple of Duanjinmen.

Naturally, he wanted to snatch back the monster beast that Duanjinmen snatched from him, so he had such obvious hostility.

But now that the misunderstanding was clear, he didn't insist on being tough, but frankly admitted his mistake and apologized.

Although this second-grade mid-level demon wood eagle was worth a lot of merit, he generously returned it to himself.

Mo Hua nodded slightly.

Although he looks aloof and difficult to get along with, this disciple of Chongxu Sect is quite principled and very particular about his behavior.

Mo Hua smiled and waved his hand, "Since it's a misunderstanding, let's forget it."

Then he stared at Linghuxiao, then looked around, and asked with some confusion:

"You go into the mountains alone to hunt monsters?"

Linghu smiled and raised his chin slightly, and said rather arrogantly:

"I alone am enough."

Mo Hua's eyes were slightly startled.

Judging from Linghu's smile, even though it looked a bit stinky, it didn't look like he was lying.

But a person... no matter how strong he is, it is not easy to hunt in the Demon Refining Mountain where monsters gather.

Mo Hua glanced at the sword energy scars on Yao Muying's body, recalled Ling Huxiao's swordsmanship during the battle, and thought about it based on his years of experience in hunting monsters.

This Linghu Xiao should be a "leak-picking" monster hunter...

Some monsters were injured by monks and escaped in the mountains and forests;

Or maybe the monsters and beasts were fighting each other for territory and were seriously injured.

These injured monsters will be weaker.

Linghuxiao's swordsmanship is superb enough. Combined with the inherited spirit sword, he can condense extremely powerful sword energy to quickly kill some injured monsters in a short period of time.

In this way, if one person kills a monster with one sword, the merit will be his alone.

Even if the efficiency is a little lower, as long as it is open, you can make a lot of money.

But this kind of thing sounds simple, but in fact it is very difficult.

In addition to being proficient in swordsmanship and fierce in killing, we must also take into consideration how to sense demonic energy, search for demonic beasts, avoid risks, and escape to protect ourselves.

Moreover, it also depends on luck.

After all, injured monsters are not so easy to encounter.

If something unexpected happens and you fall into danger, no one can help you.

Therefore, when hunting monsters, it is best to form a team with fellow sects so that they can help each other.

"Aren't you with your classmates?" Mo Hua asked curiously.

Linghuxiao looked a little ugly and said coldly:

"I said, one person is enough!"

Mo Hua understood.

His classmates wouldn't let him play.

I don't know if he is too talented, so he is jealous and ostracized by others.

Or he is too cold-tempered and not popular, so he has no friends and can only hunt monsters in the mountains and forests alone.

Mo Hua asked again: "What about Broken Golden Gate? Can you beat them by yourself?"

Linghuxiao said coldly: "Three or five people are no match for me. If there are more people, I can escape with my sword and they won't be able to catch up with me, but..."

Linghu Xiao was slightly angry, but also a little disdainful, "This group of bastards who broke the Golden Gate will attack here and there. Two or three people will drag me, and the rest will snatch my monsters."

"Robbing them and running away is really... despicable!"

Mo Hua could tell that Linghu Xiao was not very good at swearing.

Even though he was angry in his heart, the words "despicable" kept coming over and over in his mouth.

but……

Mo Hua pondered slightly.

Able to rely on swordsmanship head-on, one can defeat five.

This young man named Linghu Xiao is by no means an unknown person in the Chongxu Sect. Even if he is not a genius, he is probably the best in swordsmanship.

Mo Hua was thinking when he suddenly saw Linghu Xiao looking at him sharply and saying in a solemn voice:

"Mo Hua, I want to fight you again."

Mo Hua was stunned, "Why?"

Linghuxiao's eyes darkened slightly, "Although you don't look strong, I have a vague feeling that your strength is unfathomable and you should be a master. I want to have a showdown with you."

Mo Hua probably understood why this man had no friends.

Although talented, he is aloof and aggressive.

My brain is a little weird too...

"No beating." Mo Hua shook his head.

"Why?" Linghuxiao was a little confused.

Mo Hua said confidently: "Why should I fight if it's not beneficial?"

He is very busy.

This kind of "playing house" discussion is a waste of time.

If he has this time, wouldn't it be good for him to practice, learn formations, practice sword control, kill monsters, and earn meritorious deeds...

Linghu smiled, was startled, and said angrily:

"Sword cultivators should be fearless when it comes to swordsmanship. Only by moving forward courageously and defeating powerful enemies can you hone your ultimate swordsmanship and build a strong sword heart..."

Mo Hua said indifferently: "I'm not a swordsman. What does the ultimate swordsmanship and the powerful sword heart have to do with me..."

"Didn't you also learn to sword?"

"I just learn casually, and I don't rely on this to make a living..."

Linghu's smile faltered.

He found that Mo Hua was an inexperienced and very realistic person, and could not understand Jian Xiu's aloof pursuit at all. He hated him a little, and after being angry for a long time, he coldly held back a few words:

"Different road non-phase plan!"

"Oh." Mo Hua nodded perfunctorily.

The two were speechless for a moment.

Seeing that it was getting late, Mo Hua glanced at Linghuxiao, then at the demonic wooden eagle, thought for a moment, and then said:

"Do you want this eagle? I'll give you half."

Linghuxiao was startled and shook his head, "I told you I would give it to you, but I don't want it!"

Mo Hua said: "Although I injured this eagle, it was you who made up for it with the sword in the end, so after all, it was the two of us who killed it together, so you also have a share."

“Although I don’t like to suffer losses, I also don’t want to take advantage of others.”

"Half for each person, I won't suffer, and you won't be fooled."

Linghuxiao fell silent.

Mo Hua thought for a while and then said: "You really don't want it? This is a second-grade mid-level monster, or a bird. It has about two to three thousand merit points. If divided equally, it would be more than a thousand merit points per person... "

"More than a thousand points of merit."

More than a thousand points of merit? !

Linghuxiao's heart skipped a beat, and he was immediately shaken.

He knew very little about birds, monsters, and beasts, and he didn't know their grades.

But just now when he used Chongxu Sword Qi to forcefully kill this monster beast, he clearly felt unprecedented pressure.

It is expected that this monster must be of a high level, probably somewhere between elementary and intermediate levels.

But I didn't expect that this was actually a second-grade mid-level bird!

And this young disciple of the Taixu Sect named "Mo Hua" was alone and only at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. What kind of family swordsmanship did he use to seriously injure this flying hawk demon? Falling to the ground...

Linghuxiao thought about it carefully at this moment, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

At the same time, the passionate feeling of facing a powerful enemy arose spontaneously in his heart.

He said again: "You have a fight with me."

"Let's talk about it when we have time..."

Mo Hua was too lazy to pay attention to him and said casually.

Then he asked again: "Do you still want these more than a thousand points of meritorious service?"

Linghuxiao fell silent again.

The way Mo Hua looked at him, he obviously wanted it.

With his efficiency in hunting monsters alone, it is certainly not that easy to earn merit.

More than a thousand merit points must be a huge sum of money.

It's just that he is arrogant and may not be able to speak out.

Mo Hua sighed, "You peel off the eagle's skin and pick out the bones, and then we go to the mountain gate together. In exchange for merit, each of us will get half of it."

Linghuxiao didn't say anything. After being silent for a moment, he silently started to skin and debone the demon wood eagle...

More than a thousand points of merit were too much, and he really couldn't refuse.

Linghuxiao processed the monster material, put it into a storage bag, and handed it to Mo Hua.

After Mo Hua took it, he put it into his arms and smiled at Linghu:

"Let's go down the mountain together."

After saying that, without waiting for Linghu Xiao's response, he strode straight down the mountain with a swagger.

Linghuxiao looked at Mo Hua's back, hesitated for a moment, and followed him silently...

…

After the two left, a monk slowly emerged from the nearby forest.

He glanced at the backs of the two of them, thoughtfully.

After a moment, he was suddenly startled and looked to his right, only to realize that at some point, a person also appeared on his right.

The two people who suddenly appeared were shocked when they noticed each other.

Then they looked at each other, their expressions became subtle.

"Ziyou?"

"Xuan Jian?"

"what are you doing here?"

The two asked in unison, and then they both understood it at the same time.

Xun Zi said leisurely: "Your ancestor of the Chongxu Sect, please take care of me secretly. You, the swordsman genius of the Chongxu Sect?"

The elder of the Chongxu Sect named "Xuanjian" sighed: "The sword's heart is clear, which is rare in five hundred years. Can't the ancestor treat it as a treasure?"

"The key is that he is withdrawn and lives alone. If I hadn't kept an eye on him, he would have died in the mountains and been eaten by monsters, including his bones and flesh. I'm afraid no one would know..."

"Yes..." Xun Ziyou nodded.

If the Taixu Sect has a swordsman genius who is seen only once in five hundred years, it must be kept as a treasure.

Although Demon Refining Mountain is a kind of trial, it is about life and death in order to cultivate the disciples' ability to face crises.

But this kind of rare genius is always an exception. If he really dies in the mountains, it will really be a great loss to the sect.

Elder Chongxumen asked Xun Ziyou, "What about you? What are you doing here?"

Xun Ziyou's eyes drifted slightly, "I just... wandered around occasionally and happened to pass by here."

The elder of Chongxumen was displeased, "I'm telling you the truth, but you're entertaining me? You can wander all the way here while hiding your body and aura, like a thief?"

Xun Ziyou didn't answer.

Elder Chongxumen snorted, looked at Mo Hua who was going away, and said thoughtfully, "The conversation and temperament are indeed different, but the qualifications seem to be average..."

Elder Chongxumen turned his head and asked Xun Ziyou:

"What is the background of this child? What is his origin? What is so special about him? You actually want you to keep an eye on him personally?"

Xun Ziyou knew that he couldn't hide it, so he thought about it and sighed:

"The formation talent is pretty good..."

"Formation?" Elder Chongxu Sect was stunned for a moment, "When did your Taixu Sect major in formation?"

"What about swordsmanship?"

The elder of Chongxu Sect hates the fact that iron cannot become steel. "Even Tai'amen, who specializes in making swords, majors in swordsmanship. I am not good at other things in Chongxu Sect, but in terms of sword energy, I am still the leader in Qianxue. You Tai'amen Where is Xumen? Where is your swordsmanship?"

Xunzi rolled his eyes at him and said, "How can I transform my spiritual thoughts into a sword for you? Do you dare to learn how to do it?"

Elder Chongxumen paused, thought for a moment, nodded and said:

"That's true, I don't dare to learn, I'm not worthy..."

Only perverts would learn that kind of "self-harm" thing.

Xunzi let out a long sigh, "The three families are divided. What my Taixu Sect can really do cannot be passed on at all. What else can I do? I can only live my life..."

Elder Chongxumen stopped talking.

Indeed, from the perspective of Taixu Sect, it is indeed quite difficult.

"However," Elder Chongxumen asked again, "That child is called 'Mo Hua', right? How good can the formation be? Is it worthy of your personal care?"

Xun Ziyou thought to himself:

Saying it scares you to death.

But I won't say it.

"It's just average. The short man Liba General is just a little bit better than his disciples of the same generation..." Xun Ziyou said meaningfully.

Elder Chongxumen didn’t believe it.

It is impossible for such a disciple to have his ancestor give instructions and have Elder Jindan take care of him secretly. His formation level is definitely not "average".

Xun Ziyou, a shameless person, must have told lies.

Elder Chongxumen said silently in his heart.

However, he doesn't believe how strong it really is...

Taixu Sect is not a formation sect, nor is it good at formations.

No matter how powerful this child's formation is, can he still be stronger than the twelfth-class Ten Thousand Formation Sect and the four major sects, especially the Qian Dao Sect, which has a formation origin?

However, the situation is such that it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

Taixumen has tried its best, but this is all it can do now.

Elder Chongxumen was very considerate.

"Let's drink together when you have time." Elder Chongxumen said.

"Let's talk about it when we have time..."

Xun Ziyou looked complicated.

Mo Hua didn't give him any peace of mind at all.

The elder of the Chongxu Sect casually said that he was also very busy, and it was not easy to stare at this swordsman genius with an arrogant mind and a bright sword mind.

But before leaving, he thought about it and reminded him:

"You should already know about the sect's restructuring, so I won't say anything more. You should be more careful."

Xun Ziyou frowned, "Tai'amen wants to enter the four major sects, and you are rushing to the Xumen. Is this the same idea?"

Elder Chongxumen laughed, "I'm far behind Chongxumen, but..."

He sighed slightly, "Once the system is restructured and the structure changes, the sect will sail against the current. If it does not advance, it will retreat."

"We are rushing to the Xumen just to maintain stability. As long as we can stay in the 'eight gates'. The matter of the four gates is not considered at least recently..."

Xun Ziyou nodded.

Elder Chongxumen smiled faintly, but he was slightly thoughtful in his heart.

Just ignore "recently"...

If Linghuxiao, that child, could make full use of his talent and cultivate the Chongxu Sword Qi to the extreme...

Chongxumen may not be unable to go further.

Tai'amen and Chongxumen, on the surface, Tai'amen must be the strongest, but who can take the first step and enter the four major sects.

It’s really hard to say until the dust settles.

Linghuxiao, that child's swordsmanship talent is much more terrifying than outsiders think...

Even within the Chongxu Sect, only a few direct elders, including the ancestor, knew about this matter.

The world only knows that a swordsman genius who has never been seen in five hundred years has emerged from the Chongxu Sect, but they have no idea how much of a "genius" this swordsman genius is...

Elder Chongxumen's heart trembled slightly.

Naturally, Xun Ziyou didn't know what he was thinking.

The two chatted for a while and then said goodbye to each other.

…

At this time, the swordsman genius who rushed to the Xumen had silently followed Mo Hua, crossing the mountains and ridges, and arrived at the gate of the Demon Refining Mountain.

"The materials for the second-grade mid-level demon wood eagle will be exchanged for achievements. Thank you."

Mo Hua handed out the storage bag and said politely.

"Second-grade mid-level?" The disciple who was collecting and selling materials at the mountain gate was startled when he heard this. "Aren't you killing the second-grade junior level? You can also kill the mid-level ones?"

Mo Hua often came to him before, exchanging merits with the second-grade initial-level hawk monsters, and he and Mo Hua were also quite familiar with each other.

Mo Hua smiled, "I'm lucky, I got a bargain."

The disciple shook his head.

How can there be so much luck...

But it's not convenient for him to ask more about this matter.

No matter what means are used, being able to kill the monster is a skill.

He counted the feathers, bones, claws, heads and other materials of the monster wood eagle, calculated in his mind, and said:

"A total of 2,672 merits, take a look."

Mo Hua flipped through the list, confirmed that there was no problem, and nodded.

The merits were transferred to his Taixu Order, and Mo Hua divided half of it and gave it to Linghu Xiao.

Linghu Xiao was stunned.

He didn't expect that Mo Hua was really so generous, and gave him such a large amount of merits without blinking.

So far, he has never seen such a "generous" and generous sect disciple.

Moreover, the disciple who was so generous to him was not from Chongxu Sect, but a disciple from Taixu Sect who he had only met once and had some conflicts with due to misunderstanding...

Linghu Xiao felt complicated for a moment.

Mo Hua stared at Linghu Xiao, his mind slightly moved.

This swordsmanship genius boy is indeed very powerful.

From the sword energy, the swordsmanship he practiced should be the Chongxu Sect's unique martial arts, Chongxu Sword Energy Art.

This kind of sword art, he definitely can't learn it.

This kind of sword energy, he can't cultivate it by himself.

However, such a strong swordsman, it's good to win him over and use him as a "thug"...

Mo Hua blinked his eyes and smiled like a little fox.
