I'm afraid of pain, so I put all my defense into it.

The next morning.

In Guyue City, cheers were heard one after another. Almost all the cultivators who had booked a night bath had made breakthroughs.

Among them, there were quite a few who had made breakthroughs to a higher realm.

Even several family heads felt that they were one step closer to the Nascent Soul stage. After all, the more luxurious the bathhouse, the better the effect of the bath. It would be hard not to upgrade in such a wealthy environment.

In Tang Neng Yipin, Li Xiaobai gained thousands of attribute points again, all added to defense.

Defense: [Nine Turns of Immortal Golden Body Sixth Turn (46000/60000) can be advanced. ]

Situ Yanyu also successfully advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage. Compared with when they first met, her aura was more than one level stronger.

"Boss Ye, the party is about to start, let's go."

"Let's go!"

"Wang, Lord Ergou is going to go too!"

The blessed land of the cave is a treasure land discovered by the Xia family. It is usually used to grow and cultivate spiritual medicines. The spiritual energy is rich and the scenery is pleasant.

Many family members and young talents in the city have gathered here.

Such gatherings are held almost every year, but this year is special. This year, the two heroes of Guyue City gather together, Xia Jian and Wang Ruoxian are in charge, and the level of this gathering is suddenly much higher.

Everyone wants to hear about what these two people have seen in the outside world and broaden their horizons.

For a small city like Guyue City, the opportunity to communicate with disciples of large sects is naturally rare.

When Li Xiaobai and others arrived, the field was already crowded.

"This time, Fairy Wang and the second son of the Xia family are both back. Tell me, who is more powerful between the two?"

"Of course it's the son of the Xia family. He stays in Zhenyuan Country all year round. There are many people in the Jindan stage and the Yuanying stage. It's impossible not to be strong if you can practice there."

"That's not necessarily true. I heard that Fairy Wang got the true teachings of the Hinayana Sect. Maybe she has some connection with the Western Desert!"

"But if you ask me, Boss Ye of Tangneng Yipin is the most powerful. Several family heads have surrendered. This bathhouse can be regarded as a benefit to the people."

"Yes, yes, I only soaked for one day, but I actually reached a small realm. It's really amazing."

Along the way, the cultivators were all talking about the focus figures in the city recently, and their words were full of yearning.

Li Xiaobai shrugged and sat down casually. Er Gouzi also sat down next to him.

As soon as he sat down, the whispers of the monks stopped abruptly, and they looked at Li Xiaobai with strange faces, and the atmosphere suddenly became strangely silent.

Li Xiaobai was confused, did he have such a big face.

"Boss Ye, this seat is not ours." Li Ya reminded in a low voice.

"Is there any reason for this?"

Li Xiaobai frowned. He chose a seat in a corner, and he didn't compete with the owner for the limelight. Why can't he sit down?

"This is a challenge seat. There is a competition and exchange session in the conference. People sitting in this position can be challenged at will, and must accept it."

Li Ya seemed a little anxious. Can you get up first?

This position is hot, and the last person who dared to sit here had grass on his grave three feet high.

"So that's the case, it doesn't matter, Liangchen likes the feeling of being challenged."

Li Xiaobai's eyes lit up. This seat was simply built for him. As long as he sat here, even if he didn't pretend to be cool, he would be besieged by others, and his attribute points could not escape.

"Yes, Master Ergouzi has great cultivation. Challenging for a seat is nothing."

"Listen carefully, everyone below. This is Master Ergouzi's capable assistant. You can only be qualified to challenge your Master Ergouzi if you defeat him!"

Ergouzi stood up, with his paws on his back, looking down on the world.

His mouth couldn't stop grinning, and his drool was all over the floor.

"This is... a dog!"

"Damn, this dog can speak human language!"

"This is a spiritual beast, but it's a pity that it's too arrogant and ugly. Its eyebrows and eyes are like Erha!"

"It's drooling, it's disgusting to look at."

The monks automatically ignored Ergouzi's words and commented on his appearance instead.

"Woof, your Master Ergouzi is a supreme existence!" Ergouzi was furious.

"Boss Ye, are you sure you want to sit here?" Wang Ruoxian asked indifferently.

"Yeah, I'm tired, let me sit down."

"It seems that Boss Ye didn't take my daughter's words to heart. There are always people better than you, and you need to learn more."

"Boss Ye, you'd better come down obediently. This seat is not for you to sit on. You will be beaten to death." Xia Liu sneered.

"Don't say so much. The last time someone sat here was a few years ago. It's been a long time since we've seen such a grand occasion. Boss Ye wants to challenge the young talents in the city, and we are more than happy to do so."Xia Jian said slowly, and ordered the maids to start serving tea and cakes.

Maids dressed in white and lightly made up began to serve, serving tea and pouring wine, and the atmosphere in the field gradually eased.

Li Ya pulled Situ Yanyu and quietly retreated to the back of the crowd. The challenger's seat could not be touched. Someone might suddenly attack and kill at any time, so it was better to stay away.

A waiter brought the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, lit the incense burner, and wisps of green smoke drifted away, which seemed very artistic.

The incense burner burned calming incense. When inhaled into the nose, it calmed the mind and made the mind clear.

"Mr. Xia has returned from Zhenyuan Kingdom this time. I think he is also proficient in Confucianism. Why not draw a picture to help?" Wang Ruoxian said.

"That's exactly what I meant. It's a bit boring for me to paint alone. Why don't we paint together on the theme of today's gathering?"

"Good."

"Use pen and ink to express one's feelings, and use the method of painting with righteousness. I have heard that Zhenyuan country uses Confucianism to prove the truth. Today I have a feast for my eyes."

The monks nodded. It was their honor to paint with Shuangjie.

"Give Boss Ye a piece of calligraphy too."

"Wang, your Er Gouzi also wants one!"

Li Xiaobai was speechless. How could he paint? The other party clearly wanted to humiliate him in the name of painting.

And this Er Gouzi likes to make trouble. Can you hold the pen with your dog's paw?

"Then let's start. The deadline is half an hour. After half an hour, you can appreciate it together."

Xia Jian said with a smile.

Thinking a little in his heart

He picked up the brush, ground it, dipped it in water, drew the lines, and the brush moved like a dragon and snake. The movements were smooth and flowing, and the surrounding monks were amazed. They were still thinking about the composition, but he had already started painting.

Although the specific content could not be seen clearly, the trend of the brushstrokes showed the style of a master.

"Damn, this guy painted so smoothly, without thinking about it at all. Could it be that he had thought about what to paint before?"

Er Gouzi cursed, it wanted to write a masterpiece, but after holding it back for a long time, not even a hair came out.

Xia Liu was furious: "This is a god-like writing. My family practices hard every day. What do you know, you broken dog?"
