Shrouding the sky: Slashing the world of mortals with a sword, becoming the strongest empress

Raising his hand, he held the jade bottle at an angle, facing the sun.

The city manager of Xuanmang Ancient City caught a glimpse of the leopard and talked about the green feather again.

"Nanling is about to change. Whether it's the Canglang King who has obtained the mysterious power of the gods through sacrifices, or the Qingyunque who has broken through the shackles of his innate blood and is evolving into a divine beast, these are just ripples."

Adjacent to Nanling, there is no severe cold in the ancient city of Xuanmang, and the plum blossoms still exude their fragrance.

But the face of the city lord was very bitter.

After a long time, Nan Xiao finally took the initiative to speak out, breaking the somewhat sad atmosphere.

"May I ask, City Lord, how many merit points can be exchanged for these?"

"Taking into account the recent changes in Nanling, and the fact that the tail feathers of the Blue Wolf King and the Blue Skylark are of good quality, it can probably be exchanged for 4,200. Little girl, this is your first time to complete a mission, and you are new here. I'll help you make up some. Five thousand is just enough to help you solve your urgent needs."

Nan Xiao was a little moved. To be honest, she never expected that she would be able to exchange for 5,000 merit points.

How could the city lord who was not related to him and was more than hundreds of thousands of people in Xuanmang Ancient City help him like this?

"Thank you City Lord for your kindness, but I want to hone myself now, so..."

There is no free lunch in the world, and Nan Xiao wants to refuse.

"I've made up my mind."

Although the city lord of Xuanmang Ancient City spoke softly, he could not refuse.

"I have also had your experience. We are not the proud ones of heaven. We can only work hard step by step and fight desperately to win a chance for ourselves. You have been trapped in the Shenqiao realm for a relatively long time. If there is no accident, I am afraid that You will really achieve nothing. More than half a year ago, you left the Qingya Blessed Land and came here just for the rewards on the Demon Slaying Heavenly List!"

As expected, the city lord of Xuanmang Ancient City already knew the origin of Nan Xiao.

Xuanmang Ancient City is not a place of peace and quiet, it also has an operating logic behind it.

Nowadays, even though the ancient city has long been separated from the eight thousand miles of Nanling by transcendent forces and is connected to the world, forming a world of its own, it can still convey some information to the outside world.

"As a city lord, you must do some landlord friendship."

"As a senior, you should also provide some guidance for the juniors."

"As a human race, we must go on the path of slaying demons together."

Mature words are calm throughout, but every word has a sonorous meaning.

The blazing passion and the fighting spirit that never admit defeat awaken the high-spirited souls of the distant ancestors buried in the blood of the two listeners, Nan Xiao and Li Tianbao.

It is undeniable that although it is not known how many falsehoods there are in the words of the city lord, Nan Xiao did feel a kind of passionate passion.

Murals and old books are the cornerstones of historical evolution.

Throughout the long history of the Beidou people, whether it is true stories or unofficial histories, the stories recorded in texts or paintings all describe how the ancient people struggled step by step from being raised as meat to being able to interact with evil gods and holy spirits. , the human race where the ancient race and the great demons are on an equal footing.

The weak eat the strong. Our ancestors first came to Beidou from other sources of life and were kept in captivity as tender and delicious two-legged beasts.

If it weren't for the two human emperors who later broke through against the odds and led the human race from weakness to prosperity, Beidou would have been a country of demons.

Even if you encounter a kinder demon clan like the old Suzuka King in Nanling, such existences are only a minority after all.

Beidou, the source of life, has always had a red background since ancient times.

However, these have little to do with Nan Xiao.

In her limited knowledge, the only people who were hostile to her were the leaders of the Yuhua Dynasty and the generals who killed her brother. Whether it is a human race or a monster race, or even an ancient race that has been passed down from the mythical era to the present, the law of development is that the weak can eat the strong.

There is essentially no big difference between humans feeding on monsters and monsters feeding on humans.

The biggest difference is who is stronger.

Of course, Nan Xiao did not speak out about all this and make it clear to the city lord of Xuanmang Ancient City.

She only kills the deserving people or monsters that stand in her way.

The flowers bloom silently.

The overflowing fragrance proves that it has always been there.

"Nan Xiao would like to thank the city lord here."

The city lord accepted Nan Xiao's thanks calmly, and then asked slowly: "You came to me probably because you want to consult me ​​on how to maximize the effectiveness of the merit points exchanged, right?"

Nan Xiao nodded.

"Although there are many magical elixirs on the Demon Slaying Heavenly Ranking that are helpful for breakthroughs in cultivation, at this stage, in view of the fact that you are unable to break through due to your own physical constitution, as far as I know, there are only grass on the Heavenly Ranking. Dan can solve this problem. There are three levels of Huanan Dan, large, medium and small. If you take the small Huandan, there is a 30% chance of helping you successfully break through to the other side. The medium Huandan is 50%, and the large Huandan is 70%. But now you only have With five thousand merit points, there is actually only one choice.”

After a moment of pause, the city lord's eyes were as calm as a lake. He looked at Nan Xiao calmly and said in a deep voice: "But I don't recommend this option. It's a medicine that's three parts poison. The 30% probability and the 50% probability don't mean If I take four or two pills, I will definitely be able to break through. Moreover, even if I am lucky enough to achieve a breakthrough, the help of the Small Return Pill and the Middle Return Pill will undoubtedly backfire. It can even be said to be an extreme method of killing the goose that lays the egg."

Nan Xiao's heart was shocked. She understood that if the city lord hadn't told her this, she might have been trapped in the secret realm of the wheel sea for the rest of her life.

Until then, revenge can only be futile.

The low mountains are quiet and quiet, and the winter plum blossoms are blooming.

"It was because I took the Zhonghuan Dan that I broke through to the other side. After that, no matter what kind of heavenly and earthly treasures I obtained, I didn't make wiser choices when I was a teenager, which led to the damage to my foundation, so I was trapped. In the realm of transforming into a dragon, I have been unable to enter the Immortal Platform for a long time."

The city lord's voice was soft, but it was like a gauze covering the eyes. After peeling it off, one could feel the moist and sparkling water.

Li Tianbao, who had been serving the city lord, suddenly burst into tears.

Nan Xiao did not expect that the city lord would confide in her, reveal the painful experiences of the past, and point out a clear path for her.

Nan Xiao, who once took the plunge and took a shortcut to reach the divine bridge, naturally understands how harmful it is to the cultivators themselves to encourage others.

Putting down some of his guard, Nan Xiao asked: "City Lord, what do you mean?"

"The Great Return Pill."

After saying this, the city lord stopped talking and walked towards the wintersweet tree beside the house.

The nose moves as if sniffing.

Nan Xiao froze on the spot.

Xiao Huan Dan can be exchanged for only 3,000 merit points.

The Zhonghuan Dan and the Great Huandan cost 8,000 and 15,000 respectively.

Nan Xiao now only has 5,000 meritorious deeds, which is far from the big payback mentioned by the city lord.

Gritting his teeth, Nan Xiao firmed up his choice, bowed to the city lord and said goodbye, then turned into a rainbow and left.
