early morning.

The sky suddenly snowed with goose feathers, and they swayed. A string of ice ridges as thick as an arm hung under the eaves, and the cold air forced people.

Swish swish!

In the courtyard, the light of the knife swept through, rolling up thousands of snow waves.

Lin Xun cocked his upper body, his figure was like a dream, he swung a sky-breaking saber so that the water couldn't get in, and the cold light shot out.

His body became slender and slender, and the muscles in the upper body of his body were like hardened lead blocks. He did not look sturdy and arrogant, but had a symmetrical and harmonious beauty.

It has been more than half a year since he left the mine prison, and Lin Xun has also changed from a thin and pale boy to a majestic and calm demeanor.

On the originally delicate and angular face, there is a flying look.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a white bone spear burst out and rushed into the shadows of the swords. Simple, direct, and neat, it struck the gap in the shadows of the swords in one fell swoop.

Hearing a thud, Lin Xun staggered, took a few steps backwards, and the Xiaoxiao Saber in his hand buzzed.

"This knife technique is very powerful, but you can't learn it at home, and you can't bring out the essence."

Xia Zhi stood on the snow in the distance. She was wearing a black windbreaker and holding a white bone spear two feet tall. Her fair face was peaceful.

"I know."

Lin Xun put away the knife, let out a sigh of relief, and started to wash.

He just practiced the [Six-character Sabre Art], but now he has only cultivated to the point of "subtlety". Although he has begun to master the essence of the sword technique, it is difficult to accurately exert all the power of these essences.

Lin Xun knew that his swordsmanship was still lacking in tempering, and it was not enough to work behind closed doors. He had to experience real bloody battles and fights.

"You're not going out today?" Xia Zhi asked, putting away the bone spear.

"No need for now." Lin Xun put on his clothes, covered his upper body, and started to prepare breakfast.

In the past two days, he has successively refined two more Yanling knives, but because of the turmoil caused by Jin Yutang selling knives, he realized that many people in the city are now looking for himself, the "mysterious spirit tattoo master".

At this time, it is not suitable to go to Jinyutang to sell these two spiritual tools.

However, Lin Xun believed that since Jin Yutang could sell a Yanling sword for 300 silver coins, he would definitely not stop there. Sooner or later, Gu Yanping would take the initiative to find him.

And because of the intelligence that Fatty Diao collected yesterday, Lin Xun completely realized that his situation was not very optimistic.

Whether it was dealing with the threat posed by the Wu clan or guarding against possible retaliation from Lian Fei, Lin Xun had to do something.

Lin Xun thought about it for a long time last night, and finally decided to seize all available resources to improve his power!

At breakfast, Lin Xun told Xia Zhi what he thought: "We can't sit still, we must make some preparations and actions in advance."

Xia Zhi listened silently.

Lin Xun pondered: "This time the Wu clan wants to use Lian Fei's hand to deal with me, just because it is worried that it will cause Shi Ding Zhai's suppression, but now you know that Shi Ding Zhai is impossible to help us, so we only on your own."

Xia Zhi raised his head and seriously corrected: "You already said this a few days ago, just tell me what to do."

Lin Xun was startled and embarrassed: "Did I really say that?"

Xia Zhi hummed.

Lin Xun said: "Well, my plan is that we will take the initiative to go out and find an opportunity to eradicate Lian Fei and his men first."

Xia Zhi said: "Then what?"

Lin Xun's dark eyes were full of contemplation: "As soon as Lian Fei died, we can see the attitude of the Wu clan towards this matter. If they are willing to tear their faces to deal with us, we can only hide first."

Xiazhi frowned: "Hide?"

Lin Xun nodded and said, "Yes, now they all know that we live here, it's too dangerous."

After a pause, he continued: "The Wu clan has a great business, and it has thousands of guards under its command. It is also a local snake in the east of the city. If we want to fight against them, we can only use roundabout tactics such as assassination and sneak attack. At times, the enemy is clear and we are secretive, as long as they are not caught, the opponent can definitely be exhausted."

After thinking for a while, Lin Xun said again: "But this tactic is very dangerous. Once surrounded or exposed, we can only fight to the death."

Xia Zhi thought for a while, and said, "If it is a sneak attack, at most I can kill the powerhouses in the early stage of the Spirit Astral Realm."

Lin Xun was immediately surprised. This was the first time Xia Zhi revealed her true combat power. What surprised Lin Xun even more was that Xia Zhi had the power to kill the early stage cultivators!

Spirit Astral Realm!

That is the real "extraordinary" existence in the eyes of the world!

Reaching that step, refining the spirit is the gang, and can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at all times, and the land of the sea of ​​​​qi in the body can open up a mysterious "spiritual power pool".

There is a saying in the world that only when you reach the spiritual realm can you truly enter the path of cultivation. Not only does your strength go beyond the limits of the human body, but your life essence, soul, and even the whole body will undergo a new transformation!

In the eyes of true practitioners, the ninth level of the True Martial Realm is just the foundation laid for embarking on the path of cultivation.

Xia Zhi actually said that she has the confidence to kill the powerhouses in the early stage of the Spirit Astral Realm. Although she needs to rely on the means of sneak attack, this is enough to shock the world.

A five- or six-year-old girl, who would dare to believe that her fighting power has become so tyrannical?

After a long time, Lin Xun calmed down the shock in his heart and said, "That's even better."

Xia Zhi frowned and said, "Is it good? Give me three months to sharpen it, and I can kill a strong person in the early stage of the Spirit Astral Realm head-on."

Lin Xun: "..."

He thought that he had broken through and advanced continuously in the past half a year, from the original second realm of real martial arts to the current fifth realm of real martial arts, which is already very fast.

Who would have thought that the summer solstice was actually more fierce than him!

This girl, I really don't know what to say to her...

Lin Xun rubbed his eyebrows and said, "We don't have that much time, and the worst plan I'm making now is that if I'm really forced to the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, I'll leave this East Lincheng first, and there will always be a chance to come back again later. Kill it back."

Xia Zhi raised his head and said seriously: "But I don't like forbearance and escape."

Lin Xun shrugged: "This is the worst plan, and the chance of it happening is very small."

While speaking, there was a knock on the door with a unique rhythm.

Xia Zhi seemed to know who was coming and continued to eat.

Soon, the courtyard gate was pushed open, and Fatty Diao and Ma Jian'er walked in, each carrying a huge box in their hands.

"Meet Shuangmu Gang Master!"

Seeing that Lin Xun was actually there, Fatty Diao and Ma Jian'er couldn't help but stunned, and immediately squeezed out a flattering smile and saluted.

The corners of Lin Xun's lips twitched imperceptibly. It seemed that he couldn't refuse this ugly nickname...

"Put your stuff there and you can go."

Xia Zhi gave an order casually.

Fatty Diao nodded quickly, placed the two boxes in the corner of the wall, and then went out respectfully.

"What is this?" Lin Xun asked.

Xia Zhi got up and said, "I led someone to destroy another gang force last night. This is a trophy."

She opened one of the wooden boxes, and all the silver coins contained in it were about five hundred.

Xia Zhi just glanced at it, and opened another box, which contained some bottles and jars, all of which were some elixir, obviously valuable.

Lin Xun stepped forward and saw this box of silver coins and a box of elixir, and couldn't help but say, "Is this trophy too rich?"

Xia Zhi said lightly: "Those gangs have been operating in this civilian area for many years, often robbing, extorting, and robbing other people's property. Do you think they will be short of money? These spoils are only part of it, most of the others. The spoils of war have already been distributed to other members of the Shuangmu Gang."

Shuangmu Gang!

Hearing this, Lin Xun couldn't help but feel helpless: "So, now this... Shuangmu Gang has also become a gang force?"

Xia Zhi snorted, and then added: "There is a smoky atmosphere in this civilian area, and everyone has it, and the underground forces can't be eradicated at all, but under my restraint, the Shuangmu Gang has stopped doing those stealing, murdering and robbing activities. ."

Lin Xun said in surprise: "This is equivalent to smashing their means of survival, will they agree?"

Xia Zhi said: "They have already agreed, because I took them to annex the territory of other gangs and gave them unimaginable benefits."

Lin Xun was dumbfounded and finally stopped asking.

"These elixirs are specially selected by my subordinates, and they are of great benefit to the cultivation of the fifth realm of true martial arts."

Xia Zhi said, "There is also five hundred silver coins in this box, which can solve our daily needs. You don't have to work hard to make spiritual tools to make money in the future."

After saying that, she turned around and entered the room, she was going to sleep again.

Lin Xun's heart was complicated for a while, fighting and plundering were indeed one of the most effective ways to obtain wealth!

In just two days, Xia Zhi wiped out the two major gangs in the civilian area, and obtained a full seven hundred silver coins and a pile of elixir. Compared with this, the profit Lin Xun made from selling the elixir was not worth it. .

However, Lin Xun will not give up refining spiritual tools. After all, looting and annexation are temporary, and they are too dangerous, and the spoils obtained are bloody.

The refining of spirit tools is different, not only can you bring wealth to yourself continuously, but more importantly, you can hone a spirit pattern!

From this day on, Lin Xun no longer went out, and made full use of the time during the day, carving spirit patterns, refining spirit tools, tempering his cultivation, sharpening his soul, and practicing martial arts...

At the same time, every three days, he would enter the "Spirit Rune Battle Realm - Thousand Waves of Ocean Currents" to challenge. Although he still failed every time, Lin Xun could clearly feel the improvement of his physical strength.

As for the summer solstice, the little girl sleeps during the day and disappears at night. Every other day, she will bring back some rich loot, either silver coins or elixir that is useful to Lin Xun's practice.

If it weren't for the trouble of the Wu clan, Lin Xun would even have fallen in love with the rare peaceful life in front of him.

Unfortunately, life is not destined to be peaceful forever.

One night ten days later, an assassination operation against Lin Xun came quietly...
