Early in the morning.

The fire had been extinguished, and a thin layer of red ointment boiled out from the bottom of the cauldron in front of Gu Xia. He added honey and flour to it.

After mixing well, roll it into pills the size of glass balls.

Gu Xia counted 15 pills in total, and he carefully put the pills into the prepared white porcelain medicine bottle.

The first elixir preparation is completed.

He took one out and drank it.

The taste of the medicinal materials covered up the smell of blood very well. After swallowing, the profound energy and qi and blood sealed in the elixir quickly spread out.

Xingchen AI detected the penetration of mysterious energy into the body and began to actively absorb it.

Gu Xia is now the master of the hands, leaving all the cultivation matters to Xingchen. He orders the AI ​​to automatically guide the inhalation of the mysterious energy in the body when it detects it in the body.

When Xuan Qi has been accumulated enough, he can open his orifices on his own according to the calculated opening method. Now the AI ​​has collected a lot of data on his orifices. Even if he opens his orifices during battle, it will not have much physiological impact on him.

In short, Gu Xia has formed a set of training procedures in his body, which automatically calculates the method of opening acupoints, automatically absorbs mysterious energy, and automatically opens acupoints. The stars will also allocate computing power according to the task requirements and quantity.

Gu Xia just had to sit back and enjoy the results. Of course, he had to be responsible for the source of the mysterious force and the energy supply.

At noon.

Gu Xia dug two large pits in the forest and buried Shopkeeper Gao's family and two bodyguards respectively.

"Shopkeeper Gao, your last wish has been fulfilled. I will accept these 50 taels."

He looked at the banknote in his hand and said to himself that he found this from the curtain interlayer, probably it was used by shopkeeper Gao just in case.

There was also dozens of taels of cloth on the carriage, but it was difficult to carry, so Gu Xia planned to leave it to someone he was destined to have.

As for those bandits, Gu Xia cut off the scalps used for business, collected all the silver on them, and threw the corpses here to be eaten by wild beasts.

Riding on the horse borrowed from Ye Yunfei, Gu Xia continued hunting in the mountains and forests.

He asked the bandits they had captured for details.

This group of bandits came from a village called Xuesha Village. There were a large number of people in the village, most of whom were martial arts practitioners. A small number of them had also practiced external martial arts. Several of the leaders had practiced Xuanwu, but I didn't know if there were any Xuanliu realm masters.

It is now the beginning of winter, and it is expected that heavy snow will soon close the mountains, making it impossible for ordinary people to enter and exit the mountains and forests. Therefore, the leader of the Blood Demon Village ordered many bandits to divide into teams of 7 to 8 people to hunt and accumulate supplies for the winter.

It's just that the prey the bandits want to hunt is not wild beasts, but the same kind.

A team of bandits is responsible for an area of ​​about ten miles. The bandits will contact each other every three days.

Unfortunately, Gu Xia did not ask for the location of the bandit team.

"It doesn't matter, the greedy wild dogs will appear on their own, and I just have to wait and see.

The medicinal materials prepared are enough to cook 10 more pots of Qi and Blood Pills.

There are about 80 people in the 10 bandit teams. The bandits are all martial arts practitioners and have sufficient qi and blood. The qi and blood of one bandit can produce at least 2 qi and blood pills.

At least 150 Qi and Blood Pills can be brewed, and one Qi and Blood Pill is enough to help me get started. It takes another 12 hours to digest one Qi and Blood Pill.

150 capsules can last a long time. "

Gu Xia calculated in his mind how many bandits he would have to kill to satisfy his cultivation needs.

When Gu Xia discovered that Xingchen AI could help him calculate the method of opening acupuncture points, and that the mysterious energy needed to open acupuncture points could be quickly obtained by plundering blood and energy, he was not satisfied with just opening a few dozen acupoints. He wanted to open all the acupoints all over his body.

Since ancient times, Xuan Qi practitioners with full orifices in the Qiao Qiao realm have become increasingly rare, and in the end, all of them are top masters. One out of 10 Xuan Qi masters with full Qiao Qiao can reach the realm of physical sanctification.

However, only ordinary Xuan Qi practitioners in the Xuan Gathering Realm can achieve physical sanctification.

The bandits in the Blood Demon Village never imagined that when they harvested the caravans and villages near the mountains and forests as autumn grain, someone would also treat them as free cultivation resources and harvest them.

Twenty days later.

Gu Xia rode a horse through the mountains and forests. He looked at the sheepskin map in his hand and made marks as he walked.

"Caijia Village..."

He crossed out a small village on the map that was located on the edge of a mountain forest.

There are five or six crossed villages on the map. Gu Xia has been to these places, but there are no people in them. Most of them have been burned into a wasteland. There are also two villages that seem to be actively abandoned. The villagers should be evacuated.

It was the first time for Gu Xia to see such brutal bandits. Most of the bandits in his hometown of Gaoning County raided homes and cut off roads. They did not kill people on a large scale, let alone massacre villages, because doing so would inevitably lead to a raid by the army.

One can imagine how rampant and ferocious the bandits in the Blood Demon Village are.

There are also 9 circled marks on the map, and those places are where Gu Xia encountered the bandit team.

For the past half month, Gu Xia had been riding alone on a white horse, carrying two large packages. He was undoubtedly very conspicuous in the mountains and forests, so he attracted bandits again and again.

It's just that those bandits didn't expect that this angry-faced young man was actually more terrifying than a ferocious beast. As soon as he met him, he was like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep, killing him, and their swords couldn't even hurt him at all.

The identities of hunter and prey are instantly reversed.

But it is a pity that after the massacres, the bandits in the Blood Demon Village seemed to realize something. Gu Xia has not encountered the bandit team since five days ago.

In addition, the food was almost exhausted, so Gu Xia planned to find a place to rest. He never thought that the nearby villages would either be burned down by bandits or deserted.

Gu Xia had no choice but to follow the road on the map and walk to the nearest Shanyang Town.

"After leaving the forest, we will reach Shanyang Town..."

Gu Xia carefully put away the map and hid it close to his body. Without this map, he would have been lost long ago.

Moreover, maps are strictly prohibited from being kept privately. He borrowed this one from Ye Yunfei. He will be in town soon, so he can't let others see it.

About half an hour later, Gu Xia rode out of the jungle on horseback. Not far away was a building.

"Huh! It's been almost a month since I left the city. Let's take a break for two days. First, have a big meal, then take a bath and have a good sleep."

A month of running around made Gu Xia look very sloppy.

There were only so many things that horses could carry, and there was no place to carry toiletries and change clothes.

His hair was messy and unruly, his face was full of stubble, and his skin was tanned a lot, which made him look more vicissitudes.

Although Gu Xia himself was not afraid of the blades of the bandits, his clothes were.

So he was also quite ragged.

If Gu Xia hadn't insisted on washing his face with mountain spring water every day, he would have become a beggar.

When he was thinking about what to order at the restaurant, he suddenly heard a rubbing sound from behind a tree not far away.

Then he saw something shooting at his face from dozens of steps away. Gu Xia reacted quickly and blocked it with his arm, and the object was bounced away.

Instantly, he felt as if his arm was pricked by a needle, and it was a little stinging.

Looking carefully, the thing that was bounced away turned out to be an arrow, and the cast iron arrowhead was broken.

I saw a dozen people standing out from behind a few trees on both sides of the road. Several people aimed at Gu Xia with bows and arrows, and the others were on guard with spears and swords, as if ready to rush up at any time.

However, Gu Xia's action of directly bouncing the arrow with his hand just now shocked them, and they just surrounded them and did not dare to take action.

"You bandits are really rampant! You dare to cut off the road at the gate of the town!" Gu Xia sneered and was about to start another unilateral massacre.

"Aren't you... a bandit?" The other side asked in confusion.

"Of course I'm not a scumbag from the Blood Evil Village. I just came here to help kill the bandits on a mission to suppress them."

Gu Xia also discovered that the group of people were led by two uniformed yamen runners.

"Who are you? Why do you think I'm a bandit?"

The yamen runners were delighted to hear this: "Sorry, my hero, the bandits have been harassing around the town recently, and the mayor ordered us to form a patrol team with the local militia to defend ourselves.

We saw that the hero's clothes were... a little messy, so we thought he was a bandit.

I wonder what sect the hero is from? What's his title?"

"Gu Xia from the Tianxuan Sect of Xianfu City."

"You're actually a hero from the Tianxuan Sect! Please come in, I'll notify the mayor to welcome you!" The yamen runners ran into the town as soon as they heard this.

Gu Xia was then escorted into an inn.
