With the power of AI, you become a giant in the magic world!

The incident at the city gate did not affect Gu Xia. He walked into the city and saw lights and decorations everywhere.

The New Year is coming. Gu Xia sighed slightly. The festive atmosphere around him could no longer infect him.

I don’t know since when, Gu Xia has lost the ability to feel the joy of the festival. For him, every day is the same.

Unconsciously, he was a little melancholy.

"Those who seek the Tao should be ruthless! The worldly thoughts cannot disturb them!"

Gu Xia suddenly remembered a sentence in the "Qingxuan Daozang".

With a sudden enlightenment, he continued to ride the white horse.

...

Afternoon, Ye Mansion.

Gu Xia came to meet Ye Yunfei.

He paid back 500 taels of silver and spent another 200 taels of silver to buy the white horse, and entrusted it to the Ye family's stable.

"Brother Gu, it seems that this trip has been fruitful! There is still money left to raise horses." Ye Yunfei said politely.

Gu Xia: "No, I just killed some thieves and got some silver.

Brother Ye, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look more heroic and extraordinary. I think your strength has increased a lot."

"It's not a big increase. I just succeeded in the Mystic and opened more than 30 acupoints." Ye Yunfei said lightly, but the corners of his mouth could not be suppressed.

For ordinary people, opening 30 acupoints in less than a year and succeeding in the Mystic is indeed very good.

You should know that most of the talented disciples of the same period in Tianxuan Sect have only opened about 10 acupoints.

But for Gu Xia, who has opened nearly 100 acupoints in half a year and has reached the great perfection of opening acupoints, it is really nothing.

"As expected of a first-class genius, Brother Ye has made great progress. I am afraid I can't compare with you!" Gu Xia pretended to be surprised.

"Not yet. My current strength is just a fight with Deng Guan."

Ye Yunfei was very proud. He now has more than 200 kilograms of strength in one arm, and his combat power has surpassed Deng Guan.

Although Deng Guan was a complete novice in front of Gu Xia, he had only practiced Xuan Gong for half a year, while Deng Guan had been practicing Wai Gong for many years.

Ye Yunfei thought that Gu Xia would not be his opponent in half a year, and he could beat up his most hated enemy with his own hands.

"Brother Ye is too modest! By the way, what is this friend's name?" Gu Xia looked at the man sitting next to the young man.

The man was wearing a green robe and a turban, holding a folding fan, and looked like a refined scholar.

Ye Yunfei: "He is Lin Xu Shang, Mr. Lin.

Brother Gu has been away for the past two months.

Yang Yishui came to the door again, and it was thanks to Mr. Lin's help that the incident was resolved."

This man was a disciple with art like Gu Xia, and even a scholar.

However, Lin Xu Shang had the title of a scholar, his family was wealthy and his literary talent was brilliant. Later, he accidentally got a secret book, so he gave up literature and practiced martial arts.

Moreover, he had a B-level 4 talent, but he practiced martial arts too late, which led to a long period of delay.

A while ago, Lin Xu Shang defeated Yang Yishui's thug Liu Yu without any injuries.

In Ye Yunfei's eyes, Gu Xia could only use strategies to win against Liu Yu by exchanging injuries for injuries.

And Lin Xu Shang not only could defeat Liu Yu head-on, but also had good talent. If nothing unexpected happened, he could even reach the Zang realm in the future, and he would be a thug who could be used for a long time.

And he didn't need much silver and elixirs.

He was just an enhanced version of Gu Xia.

As for Gu Xia, Ye Yunfei felt that he could only be used now, and he would be mediocre in the Xuanliu realm, and anyone could replace him.

He might not even be able to break through the Xuanliu realm.

"Mr. Lin, nice to meet you, nice to meet you! Since we are all friends of Brother Ye, we will be friends in the future!" Gu Xia said with a smile.

Lin Xu Shang: "Brother Gu, you are polite. I have heard of your great name a long time ago. It is better to meet you in person than to hear about your name. You are indeed a handsome man."

"No, I am far inferior to you, Mr. Lin!"

The two looked like old friends for many years.

After a while of polite greetings,

Gu Xia: "Brother Ye, I have some personal matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

"Alas! It's the New Year, and Brother Gu has no relatives in Xianfu City, so why not stay with me and have a dinner!

But sorry, I didn't know Brother Gu was coming back today, and I only added one seat for Mr. Lin at the backyard banquet, so I didn't stay any more.

Brother Gu, why don't you go to the side yard to squeeze in?" Ye Yunfei tried to persuade him to stay.

"No need, thank you for your kindness, Brother Ye, I have already made arrangements." Gu Xia declined.

"Well, okay. Remember to visit each other tomorrow." Ye Yunfei didn't stay any longer.

"Of course." After saying that, Gu Xia smiled and left.

There were only two people left in the room.

Lin Xu Shang: "He is Gu Xia, Gu Fengzi?"

Ye Yunfei: "Yes, how do you feel?"

Lin Xu Shang said disdainfully: "Nothing special, just a mediocre person, with an empty name, he will be lost in the crowd in half a year at most.

Unlike me, I just practiced martial arts a few years later and made mistakes in external skills."

Ye Yunfei nodded: "Yes, I also thought that Gu Xia was far inferior to you, Brother Lin."

...

Gu Xia walked out of the Ye Mansion, and the business-like smile on his face returned to a blank expression.

"It seems that I have to think of another plan. At least I can't rely on Ye Yunfei recently."

Gu Xia is not stupid. The side hall is where the servants of the Ye Mansion live. Going there to eat means that Ye Yunfei sees him as a servant at most.

This guy obviously found Lin Xu Shang, a better thug, and doesn't care about Gu Xia anymore.

"Newcomers are better than old ones, it is indeed an eternal truth.

But he showed annoyance to me as soon as he found a new thug. What a guy with little ambition and talent!

He has such good talent and family background!"

Gu Xia was not sad to be despised, he knew that the depreciation rate of disciples with skills was very fast.

Today he wanted to ask Ye Yunfei if he could lend him the "General Outline of Acupuncture Points" to read, but Ye Yunfei, who usually gave him money when they met, didn't even offer him a cup of tea today.

The four major families in Xianfu City have a close relationship with Tianxuanmen, so the four major families also have copies of the "General Outline of Acupuncture Points" of Tianxuanmen.

"But there is no rush for this matter. I can't practice Xuanwu with a bad spirit. I should focus on my soul recently."

...

At night.

Thousands of lights in Xianfu City.

Wow! Wow! Wow...

The bright fireworks rose from every populated place in the city, decorating Xianfu City colorfully.

At this moment, whether it was officials, businessmen or ordinary people, they walked out of the door, walked through the streets and night markets, and celebrated the upcoming New Year.

In the residence of Tianxuanmen, Gu Xia sat cross-legged on the bed alone, closed his eyes, lit a censer in front of him, and practiced silently.

The noisy and festive atmosphere of the outside world could not disturb him at all, as if he was in another world.

If it were usual, Gu Xia would not be so hardworking. He could have left the training to Xingchen and had fun.

But he was corroded by the blood demon's evil spirit and had to refine his soul to increase his resistance.

The practice of the empty illusion realm is to constantly daydream and generate ideas, adding bricks and tiles to the illusion seed of the spirit platform, making it gradually concrete and clear.

In other words, the soul cultivation must be done by him personally, and Xingchen cannot generate ideas.

So during the days on the way back, he would daydream for several hours every night.

After sitting for a long time.

Gu Xia looked at the nebula in the spirit platform. Although it was still translucent, its outline gradually became clear.

When it was first constructed, the transparency of this nebula was estimated to be more than 95%, just like a faint afterimage, and now the transparency has dropped to almost 90%, and the outline is gradually clear.

When the transparency drops to 0%, the nebula is completely solidified, and Gu Xia will be the great perfection of the empty illusion realm.
