Practice begins with collecting character cards

Chapter 174 Jade Pendant and the Village

Xu Gu'an remained silent, waiting for Wu Shitian's next words.

Wu Shitian secretly sighed in his heart, and reluctantly took out a pure white jade pendant with a rather peculiar style from his bosom.

He threw the jade pendant to Xu Gu'an.

The jade pendant was warm and moist in his hand, sticking to his palm, as if a trace of gentle energy had melted into his body.

For a moment, it actually made him feel refreshed.

This made Xu Gu'an a little surprised, and looked at the jade pendant up close.

The jade pendant is about three fingers wide, and it looks like three pure white hook jades, in a symmetrical ring shape.

If you look carefully, you can also find that the surface of the jade is moist and smooth, but there seems to be a mass of air rolling inside, tumbling back and forth.

In his Yuanxian Department Store, Xu Gu'an has also seen many imported antiques and jades.

But none of them can compare with the one he has now.

"I got this jade by accident in the Donglan Mountains, and it is a rare thing in the world that is cultivated by heaven and earth." Wu Shitian continued.

Xu Gu'an might not believe all of his words, but he really couldn't see any traces of artificial carving on them.

"Just putting it close to the skin can speed up the recovery of mental strength and keep the brain clear at all times. This is also very helpful for daily practice."

"En." Xu Gu'an really felt refreshed, which showed that what Wu Shitian said was true.

This jade is indeed miraculous.

He even faintly felt that there might be a bigger secret in this jade, but Wu Shitian didn't notice it.

"How, I would like to exchange this for your gold fish." Seeing that Xu Gu An was silent, Wu Shitian couldn't help Xu Gu An's thoughts, so he couldn't help asking again.

For practitioners, golden fish is a rare tonic in the world, and the effect can be equal to Wu Shitian's more than a year of cultivation time!

In terms of value, it is the best of the best among meat supplements.

Wu Shitian also relied on this golden fish to break through to the fourth level of the bone in just one day, which can be seen.

With the effect of this golden fish, he is expected to rank among the top ten in this year's big exam!

And he is only 19 years old now, and he is even expected to fight for a place in the Grand Master Martial Arts Academy in the future!

Although he was reluctant to part with this peculiar jade, the exchange was not too bad in his opinion.

Going to the Grandmaster Martial Arts Academy meant that he was able to focus on a wider world, instead of stopping at the border of Donglan.

At that time, he firmly believes that there will be greater opportunities for him.

"Yes." Xu Gu'an put away the jade pendant, and looked at the head of Wujia Village.

"If you have any dissatisfaction with today's matter, you can come to me again and tell me. If you blame others, I don't mind clearing up this place!"

Xu Gu'an said lightly, everyone in Wujia Village felt cold all over.

Many people couldn't even look at Xu Gu'an, for fear of angering the killing god and following in Wu Jing's footsteps.

Xu Gu'an turned and left without waiting for the village head of the Wu family to say anything after finishing the hatred.

There are thousands of clansmen in Wujia Village, and all the strong men who are regarded as proud, never dared to yell at Xu Gu'an again, so they just let him leave.

"Call all the people who traveled with Wu Jing that day, and explain the situation to me!" Wu Zhen snorted heavily, and ordered with a grim expression.

Then he looked at Wu Shitian, "Shitian, that jade pendant"

"Forget it, the village found a golden fish for me, so naturally I wouldn't leave the village alone, forget about the jade pendant." Wu Shitian shook his head and said.

What made him most unwilling today was that the strength gap between Xu Guan and him seemed to be getting bigger and bigger!
"How much do you know about that person?" Wu Zhen approached and asked again.

"He is in the same class as me, belongs to the Donglan Martial Arts Academy, and is the top of all the students in my class. His strength has improved very quickly. See you this time. If I read correctly, I am afraid that he has already stepped into Yijin It's over!" Wu Shitian said with some difficulty.

He is now in the bone fourth level, but Xu Gu'an has already stepped into the muscle-changing level, which is simply too outrageous.

He really couldn't figure out how Xu Gu'an cultivated so fast.

"Number one, Yi Jin Jing." Wu Zhen murmured, his face slightly lost.

He had just speculated, and what Wu Shitian said was confirmed.

Wu Shitian was regarded by him as the hope of the village's rise, but facing this person, Wu Shitian was too inferior.

"No matter what happens, such a young and strong person in Yijinjing cannot be offended again!" Wu Zhen said decisively in his heart.

After leaving the valley entrance, before Xu Gu'an blew the whistle, the Qingling horse rushed out from not far away, chewing the green grass in the valley with gusto.

"Going back." Xu Guan crossed the horse and returned the same way without stopping.

Get out of this valley soon.

He thought about whether to help the village move to this place in the future to obtain better development conditions.

But after thinking about it, even Xu Rushan might not be willing to let those old people in the village abandon their ancestral land and move suddenly, even if there are many difficulties.

Moreover, although the valley has a good environment, more fertile land, and a lot of advantages, it is not without disadvantages.

First of all, the caravan outside would not go to this hidden valley in the Donglan Mountains. After all, the mountain road was very difficult for the caravan, and it also took a long detour.

Secondly, the valley was a little too close to the Donglan Mountain Range, and some wild beasts roaming from the periphery of the Donglan Mountain Range were also a major hidden danger.

If you don't have enough strength, you really can't stay there.

Therefore, Xu Gu'an would propose to the old village chief, but he did not force this matter, and the villagers themselves decided on it.

In addition, as for the two aborigines, Zhang and Wu, it is the best solution, as long as Xu Guan comes forward, I believe they will give a sensible welcome when the time comes
When I returned to Xujia Village, the sun had not yet set.

He did come back just in time for dinner.

At this time, many people in the village had been waiting for a long time.

The old village head, several hunting captains, some members of the hunting team who learned about this, Xu Xinnian's family and others.

It wasn't until Xu Gu An came back calmly, with his clothes neat and unhurt, that he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's over." Xu Gu'an said, roughly telling the story.

Knowing that Wu Jing was killed, the team members following Xu Guping were very excited.

Xu Gu'an took the blame for them, so he can sleep well today.

The only regret is that I was not able to witness this process with my own eyes.

After that, Xu Guan approached Xu Guping, and after eating the decoction made by the old village chief, his complexion improved a lot.

It has to be said that the old village head's medical skills are indeed very good.

Xu Guan planned to hand over the jade pendant he got to Xu Guping.

After all, it was exchanged for gold fish in name, so it should belong to Xu Guping.

But Xu Guping finally confiscated it.

Xu Gu'an delivered medicine for him when he came back, and he went to Wujia Village to vent his anger, which is a manifestation of friendship.

How could he accept this precious jade pendant.

And in his opinion, this jade pendant is more valuable in Xu Gu'an.

Seeing that his elder brother insisted on not accepting him, Xu Guan didn't say anything more.

Besides the jade pendant, there are many other ways he can help Xu Guping.

Afterwards, the old village chief observed for another day and confirmed that Xu Guping's hidden dangers of internal injuries had been effectively controlled and would no longer worsen.

Only then did Xu Guping return to his home to recuperate.

The old village chief reckoned that without stopping the medicine, he would be able to walk on the ground in a few days and do some work properly in a month.

After two months, he should be able to recover more than half of it, and he can resume his daily body training practice.

It took almost three months to completely heal.

"There is no need to worry about the medicinal materials. I will send people to continue to deliver them." Xu Gu'an said.

The old village head nodded, and gave the prescription, asking Feng Man to decoct the medicine every day to supplement Xu Guping.

"Unfortunately, I haven't had to practice for such a long time." Xu Guping was most troubled by this matter.

It would take at least two months of meditation, which made him feel sorry for this wasted time.

"No way, there is no rush." ​​Xu Guan sat on the bed and shook his head.

"When you recover, I still have a batch of top-grade leather refining pills that I have collected. After the consumption is exhausted, you may be able to practice copper skin level." Xu Gu'an comforted.

Xu Guping was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Xiao'an, I've thought about it, after I've reached the level of copper skin, I'll go to Donglan Town, go to the martial arts hall to learn martial arts."

Xu Guan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

As long as his elder brother thinks, he will support it.

Presumably, this time he was severely injured by the people of Wujia Village, which made his state of mind somewhat change.

In fact it is.

The feeling of powerlessness in the face of Wu Jing made Xu Guping desire to become stronger than before.

I have been ill in bed for the past few days, lost in thought, and made a new plan for my life.

He was a little dissatisfied with the cultivation environment in the village, and wanted to go to the town for a while.

The only pity is that Xu Guping has already passed the age for enrolling students in the martial arts academy, and he can only start from the martial arts hall when he goes to Donglan Town.

Of course, if you are not a martial arts disciple, your future achievements will definitely be lower than those who graduated from the martial arts academy.

There are many disciples who have gone out of the martial arts school, and they have also become powerful existences in the famous side.

There is no absolute good or bad in life.

No matter how low the starting point is, one day in the future, it is possible to soar up to [-] miles, overlooking the vast and powerful in the world.

What's more, Xu Guping's starting point is not too low.

Martial arts is a good choice for him.

After that, Xu Gu'an was not in a hurry to go back to town.

It's rare for him to come back, so he will stay for a while longer to accompany his parents and family.

Now that I have acquired all the martial arts and martial arts, it is not practice where I practice.

early morning.

Feng Man boiled the decoction that Xu Guping was going to take early on, and the whole house was filled with a strong smell of medicine.

Outside the door, Xu Yaya is actively practicing the ax technique that Xu Gu'an taught her before.

Two years have passed, and the little girl who was half a year old has grown a lot taller.

The healthy wheat-colored skin is sweating and full of youthful breath.

His body shape is somewhat similar to Xu Gu'an's, and he inherited more from his mother Feng Man. He looks slender, does not look weak, and is agile and light.

Now Xu Yaya has made considerable progress in her cultivation under the supply of a large amount of high-quality pill materials from Xu Gu'an.

Although his cultivation speed was not as fast as his elder brother Xu Guping's, he was almost at the top of his training.

Back then, Xu Guping broke through the cowhide layer at the age of 16, which was considered quite fast in the village at that time.

And Xu Yaya is only 15 years old this year, and she is expected to surpass Xu Guping back then.

However, this does not mean that Xu Yaya's aptitude is higher than Xu Guping's, it's just that Xu Guping's cultivation conditions were too poor back then, even food and clothing at home was a problem.

It is far from what it is now, with a large amount of meat supplements, and sufficient medicines provided by Xu Gu'an.

The cultivation conditions of the two are almost incomparable.

It wasn't until the last two years that Xu Guping's cultivation aptitude was revealed more and more prominently.

Judging from Xu Guan's experience in harvesting so many character cards, Xu Guping should have a grade D qualification.

And Xu Yaya is slightly inferior, but also taller than the average villager.

He probably has the aptitude level of grade E. In the future, as long as he persists in working hard and has his backing, the little girl will have no problem with this innate aptitude to reach the Bone Strengthening Realm.

If you want to go to the next level, you have to rely on other methods to break through the limitations of innate aptitude.

This is beyond what Xu Gu'an can interfere with now. It can only depend on what kind of life experience the little girl will have in the future.

"Second brother, how's my ax technique?" Xu Yaya stopped, pulled back her long hair that had slipped, and smiled slightly at Xu Gu'an.

"Very good, already at the level of proficiency." Xu Guan nodded.

Although it is only a set of gray-level rough and shallow axe techniques, it can be practiced to the proficient level in two or three years. It seems that Xu Yaya has not been lazy every day, and has been practicing diligently.

Get compliments and smile brighter on your face.

Speaking of women practicing ax technique, he had never seen one in the town.

Most of the women are nimble and agile, taking the light and light route of swordsmanship.

Xu Gu'an also suggested to Xu Yaya whether to practice swordsmanship instead.

He also has quite a few sets of swordsmanship and martial arts that he can provide for her to practice.

It's just that Xu Yaya also has her own hobbies and attachments, she doesn't want to change her practice, she still has a soft spot for axes.

As a last resort, Xu Gu'an collected several sets of ax techniques for her and provided them to her to practice alone.

He actually doesn't have any requirements for his little sister, as long as she is happy every day.

If she wanted to practice ax technique, she would do it.

Seeing Feng Man carrying two heavy barrels, Xu Gu'an immediately helped to take it.

This is two buckets of feed.

Now the home has been expanded and divided into a small front yard and a back yard.

There is nothing in the front yard, just an open space for practicing martial arts.

The rear compound is different. Now there are many domesticated and qualified livestock in captivity. In addition to chickens that can lay eggs, there are also those that can produce milk on a daily basis.

Like cattle, sheep and pigs in previous lives.

It's just that they are different in terms of name and body type structure.

Today, in addition to farm work, the family has to take care of these livestock.

In addition to the feed supply, they have to drive outside the village to graze tree leaves every day to supplement food sources.

Nowadays, there are highly nutritious hot milk and eggs for breakfast at home every day, and life is much better than before.

In the afternoon, there was another intermittent heavy snowfall in the sky.

The old village head came to check on Xu Guping's injuries, and after confirming that everything was normal, he came to the yard and saw Xu Gu'an sitting at the door, and Xu Yaya who was making a snowman in the yard.

The old village chief put down the medicine box and chatted with Xu Gu'an rarely.

From the construction of the village and future planning, to the changes in the situation in Donglan Town.

Although the two seem to be quite different in age, Xu Gu'an is no longer a child, and the old village head does not regard Xu Gu'an as a child at all.

The communication between the two is more like a conversation between the same age. Sometimes the topics are tacitly discussed, and sometimes the conversation is in-depth and intriguing.

What happened in Donglan Town in the past two years, Xu Gu'an has nothing to hide.

Hearing that the Shao family colluded with the rebel army and was wiped out, and the century-old family foundation was destroyed, even the old village chief sighed.

After all, that was the Shao family!

For anyone who knows Donglan Town's past, this is extremely shocking.

"By the way, I heard that there is another gang force in the chaotic land in the west?" Xu Gu'an suddenly asked.

He also just heard about it in the past two days.

"Well, it's the old blood alliance. It's been a while since I came to the eastern suburbs, but it seems to be quite low-key, and I haven't done anything out of the ordinary." Xu Rushan nodded.

"Do you want to get rid of it directly?" Xu Gu'an was silent for a moment, then asked bluntly.

He was worried that the old blood alliance would become the second Yellow Turban Village or the Storm Gang, posing a threat to the village.

Xu Rushan nodded, with a slightly serious face, and said, "I also had the same concerns when I found out about the old blood alliance.

But until now, they still haven't made any moves, which makes me a little unsure. "

"Let me go and find out." Xu Gu'an said after thinking about it.

"Be careful in everything." Xu Rushan reminded, he really needed Xu Guan to investigate.

Letting Xu Gu'an go is the safest way, after all, his strength lies here, far surpassing the combat power of several levels of the village.

"Okay." Xu Guan nodded, finalizing the matter.

Early the next morning, he set off.

It snowed all night last night, and today there is a thick layer of snow outside.

Fortunately, the Qingling horse has a strong ability to resist harsh weather, so it will not be difficult.

The rebellious land in the west is relatively far away from Xujia Village, and the snow rush all the way has been close to noon before finding the destination of the trip.

The reason why Xu Gu'an came to investigate so actively was that, as said, he wanted to investigate the situation of the old blood alliance and protect the safety of Xu's family village.

On the other hand, Xu Gu'an also wanted to see if the old blood alliance here had a chance to trigger a new copy.

Now, he will not let go of this suspected opportunity to open a new dungeon.

No matter what, you have to step on a point and let yourself give up.

In the distance, Xu Guan sat on the horseback and saw thick smoke rising in the distance, which was very obvious.

Xu Gu'an went around to a slope to look at it from afar.

I saw a big fire burning something next to a messy mob land.

Xu Gu'an got a little closer, and he could see the appearance of human corpses in the large man-made flames, and there were also a lot of other garbage and useless things, all of which were piled up as high as a hill.

The fire was specifically designed to dispose of the rubbish in this unrest.

Xu Gu'an's eyes fell on a group of people beside the fire.

They were wearing similar thick cloth clothes, presumably they were members of the old blood alliance.

Looking at the land of disorderly people, it seems that it has been rectified quite well, and it does have a bit of the shadow of the Wild Wind Gang back then.

There were no miscellaneous people wandering in and out there at will, but truckloads of garbage were transported out, poured into the fire pile, and cremated together.

After Xu Guan circled around, he tried to get closer.

[Ding, the new copy of Blood Alliance has been opened, please check it yourself! 】

When the message prompt appeared, Xu Guan stopped immediately.

"I didn't expect to return to the village this time, and there would be such an unexpected harvest." Xu Gu'an was secretly happy.

He took out his phone and took a look.

[Dungeon: Old Blood Alliance]

[Difficulty: Level [-]]

Although it was only a second-tier dungeon, perhaps the value of the items dropped in the dungeon was not that high in his opinion now, but no matter what, there was a reward for clearing the level.

Even if there is only one customs clearance reward, it is very good for Xu Gu'an.

"The second level of difficulty means that even the most powerful dungeon monsters will not exceed the level of Bone Strengthening Realm."

Xu Gu'an made inferences in his heart.

Of course, it does not rule out the emergence of powerful temporary monsters whose strength exceeds the upper limit of the difficulty of the dungeon, just like the original dungeon of evil view.

Therefore, this inference is not absolute, and there are still occasional situations.

"Huh?" At present, this disorderly land doesn't even have simple fences, only tents are set up one by one.

There were guards standing guard nearby.

Xu Gu'an's eyes fell on those guards, and he saw more details as he got closer.

Soon, he found a clue.

"So it is." Xu Guan understood.

Although the opponent had changed into ordinary clothes, there were still a small number of military-made weapons that had not been disposed of in the rioting people's land, which were exactly the same as the standard weapons used by the defeated army that attacked Donglan Town.

The reason why Xu Gu'an is so familiar is also because he has downloaded a dungeon before, and he has released many similar weapons, and he can recognize them at a glance.

In this way, there is speculation about the original body of this old blood alliance.

Perhaps it was after being defeated by Donglan Town that a small group of deserters fled to the eastern suburbs and formed this so-called blood alliance.

It is not difficult to verify.

Soon, Xu Gu'an captured two blood alliance members who were stalking outside the stronghold.

After cross-examination several times, it was consistent with what he thought.

The predecessor of the opponent was the defeated army.

After the defeat of the army, in order to avoid the suppression of Donglan Town, he hid all the way to XZ and came here.

It was precisely because they were worried that being too high-profile would attract the team of masters from Donglan Town to hunt them down again, so they recuperated here and did not dare to make big moves at all.

"It's indeed a hidden danger. After clearing the customs, this small rebel army here will be eradicated." Xu Gu'an said to himself.

The opponent has a body refiner at the bone strengthening level, which is too destructive in the eastern suburbs.

It's like a group of high-level monsters running into Novice Village, once they start going crazy, it's enough to cause a disaster.

If these rebels are kept, he will not feel at ease even if he returns to the town in the future.

Folding back to the village, Xu Gu'an told Xu Rushan about it.

When Xu Rushan heard this, he also had a dignified expression and let out a long sigh.

In the past, the eastern suburbs were located in a remote area, and at most there were only some local wild bandits.

But now, some defeated troops from outside have come to this place.

For any village, this is a huge security risk.

Including the best-developed Wujia Village and Zhangjia Village in the eastern suburbs, it is also difficult to deal with these defeated troops and rogues.

"Under the current turmoil, it really is not peaceful anywhere."
