Chapter 85: Tan Tai Yao and Ji Han! Ji Xia reshapes his practice and breaks through two realms in one night!
Black Mountain City.

I watched Ji Xia walk towards the outer city government office.

As the sky gradually darkened, it was approaching dusk.

Because so many things happened in one day, Ji Han couldn't calm down.

"The Garrison, the Military Department, the Outer City Yamen. Everyone in Black Mountain City is in the same boat."

"Brother resigned from his position as an outer city official for me. I can't guarantee that the ninth-rank chief will not make things difficult for him because of this."

"Even if he gets the approval of Miss Pei from Yunluan Mountain and gets a chance to join the sect, it is still a Taoist sect after all. Verbal approval is not the same as being listed in the sect."

"No, I have to go take a look!"

The more Ji Han thought about it, the more worried he became that the garrison would be detrimental to Ji Xia, so he followed closely and went out.

Although, he himself cannot provide much help.

But if he was asked to just wait here, he couldn't do it!

Big deal,
He and his brother left Black Mountain City under the cover of night.

In the huge Aquarius Province, there are many large cities under the jurisdiction of the entire Wutong Prefecture. It is not necessary to stay in Black Mountain.

Even if Wutong can't stay.

The neighboring Shunan Prefecture and other seven prefectures make up a total of seven prefectures. Could it be that such a large Aquarius State cannot accommodate the two of them?

There is no father here, there is a place to keep the father!
Ji Han took a step forward and in an instant he left the third ring of the "Bluestone Alley" and headed straight for the "first ring" of the Black Mountain Yamen connected to the inner city.

But just as he passed the outer city gate, he met a figure in a gray shirt with a zither and a sword behind him.

Originally, Ji Han didn't pay any attention to it. He just wanted to go to Heishan Yamen to meet Ji Xia.

But when he passed by this figure on this dirt street.

A few words fell into his ears, causing Ji Han's body to tense up. He felt the blood in his body freeze, as if some huge secret had been spied on!
"Are you a half-demon?"

"wrong."

"Your bloodline is not that mixed. An ordinary half-demon cannot become as powerful as you. You are..."

"Which branch or family of the Divine Blood Cult are you from?"

Ji Han glanced sideways.
The man in his peripheral vision had an untidy beard, sunken eye sockets, messy gray hair, and looked completely unpresentable.

But maybe it's because he was born with a good foundation, even with his unkempt appearance, he gives people a "bohemian" feeling.

"He can see through me!"

I remembered that Ji Xia had repeatedly warned me last night not to reveal my identity. The "Divine Blood Cult" was notorious in Dazhao and everyone wanted to kill it.

For a moment, Ji Han's heart sank to the bottom.

"Isn't this blood-hiding method said to be able to conceal the secrets in my blood?"

"How come the person in front of me saw it clearly the moment we met?"

"Who is he?"

"What on earth do I do?"

"But my brother is still in the yamen and I have to go help him." Ji Han was anxious and wanted to move, but he did not dare to act rashly because he was afraid of the person in front of him.

So, for a long time.

I can only speak in a dry tone:

"What did you mean, Senior?"

"I am just an ordinary hunter from Black Mountain City. I don't understand what you are talking about."

"I still have to go look for my brother, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, he wanted to pretend he didn't know and moved away.

"An ordinary hunter at this age cannot cultivate the skills of 'Water and Fire Immortal Clothes', boy."

The man in gray held Ji Han's shoulder with a smile.

At the same time, a pair of deep eyes with sunken sockets seemed to see through his thoughts:
"You are wondering why I could see through your concealment at a glance, right?"

"Boy, you are only wearing the 'Water and Fire Fairy Clothes', but I have already broken through the 'Mysterious Gate of Heaven and Man'. Within the area around me, any disturbance or abnormality is only within the three inches of my palm."

"If you can circulate Qi throughout your body and open up the acupuncture points so that there is no leakage in your body, thus completely concealing the secrets on your body, you might be able to deceive me, or even deceive a fourth-step practitioner."

"But it's just words like this"

"In the eyes of a true master, there is no difference between this and parading in the streets."

Ji Han's heart was filled with turbulent waves.

"The Gate of Heaven and Man, the fourth step?!"

"What martial arts realm is this person in front of me at? The first step is 'Martial Gate Foundation Building', and the second step is 'Great Innateness'. Where is the 'Mysterious Gate of Heaven and Man' in it?"

"Could it be the realm in the third step?"

"If that's the case, even in the city of Wutong, there probably aren't many people like him."

"What on earth is he going to do?"

"If you have seen through my true colors and are hostile to the so-called 'Divine Blood Cult', why don't you just kill me directly, but..."

For a moment, Ji Han was filled with horror and confusion.

The man patted his shoulder with his palm, and a wisp of "qi" began to flow along Ji Han's tendons and throughout his limbs.

After a while, that person seemed to realize something, and suddenly he hummed, and his eyes, which originally held a hint of murderous intent, faded a little.

Then, he looked Ji Han up and down:
"It's not 'innate divine blood', but it's cultivated later in life."

"And looking at your meridians, your qi and blood are mixed up, and your whole body seems to be suffering from continuous injuries."

"Could it be that you have achieved this level of cultivation by finding the withered bones of a third-step figure from the 'Divine Blood Cult', learning the Dharma from him, and then figuring it out on your own?"

As he finished speaking, Ji Han's pupils shrank slightly, and the man in gray immediately sensed it keenly.

Suddenly, his eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, and he was amazed:

"Don't worry, I won't compromise and hurt a junior like you."

"If you are really from the Divine Blood Cult and intend to tinker with something, I won't care about you as long as you are not in the Wutong Mansion or Black Mountain City area."

"After all, this is my hometown."

"The reason I came to this Wutong tree is just because I want to die before my life ends, alas..."

Looking in the direction of Qinjian Mountain, in Ji Han's eyes, the mysterious man in gray suddenly fell silent and laughed at himself:
"In my life, during my first thirty years, I was full of energy and thought that everything in the world was within my reach."

"As a result, the second half of my life is half a page of nonsense, all sloppy!"

There was a hint of loneliness in his tone. Looking at Ji Han in front of him, he felt that they had an inexplicable affinity.

In fact, let’s talk about it in detail.

In my life, I have never discriminated against "half-demons".

A long, long time ago, when I was in my thirties.

He also personally brought out a peerless genius who was said to have caused great turmoil in the Aquarius State.

I thought that after half a lifetime of wandering, I would have the opportunity to take revenge.

But fate never makes sense.

Even though he traveled far to Tongye Prefecture, the journey was still not smooth.

Over the past few decades, there have been highs and lows.

Until the end, he lost the "competition for the truth" and still failed to achieve the "fourth step".

In addition, his Yuandan was dim, and he had been fighting bravely and fiercely for many years, and had been fighting for life and death. So, he had already developed cracks. I was afraid that he would not live for many years.

Pulling at half of the empty sleeve.

I remember standing at the foot of Qinjian Mountain and seeing the former "mountain gate" revived and flourishing.

I heard that several decades ago, under the leadership of the sect leader Xu Nian, the sect had regained its prestige as a famous family.

He gave up the idea of ​​going back.

The original plan was to go north, pass through the once broken Great Wall to enter the northwest wilderness.
In pursuit of the ancestral temple of 'Jinghe Dragon Court', he found the dragon who was said to have embarked on the 'path to dragon transformation' and had reached the fourth step in recent years. He sought revenge by threatening his life with the sword.

However, he did not expect that at the foot of Qinjian Mountain, he was attracted by a letter under the banner of "Xie Mansion".

In the envelope, a boy named Ji Xia wrote a letter to Mr. Xie Qiaoxuan of the Xie family in Wutong Mansion.

The name in the letter was actually "Tan Tai Yao", which is really ridiculous.

Didn’t you know that one of the names Xie Qiaoxuan hated the most in his life was Tan Tai Yao?

In addition, it is said that Black Mountain is the burial place of the younger generation he once brought up.

With a sudden thought, he planned to investigate the matter thoroughly before going north to find out who was so bold as to bring up his name, which should have disappeared long ago, decades after he had left.

As a result, he ran into Ji Han.

So, the one-armed man in gray began to think about catching talents:
"Let's not talk about the past."

"It's fate that I met you today. You look a bit like a kid I once trained."

"How about this, if you do one thing for me, I will solve your hidden danger for you, how about that?"

Ji Han's spirits lifted, and he felt that he had found a way out of a desperate situation.

Just when he was about to agree, he suddenly thought of his brother Ji Xia, so he looked in the direction of the Black Mountain Yamen, and couldn't help but hesitate: "Let alone one thing, even if it's five or ten things, if it can solve my problem, senior, just one order, I will do it without hesitation."

"But my brother is in the Black Mountain Yamen, and he might cause trouble. I'm afraid."

When the man in gray heard this, he closed his eyes slightly, and his soul traveled from the ancestral orifice between his eyebrows, crossing the streets and alleys of Black Mountain day and night, until it covered the huge Black Mountain government office, and then turned back.

Then, in less than half an incense stick of time, he opened his eyes again in front of Ji Han and said:
"Do not worry."

"Your city's government is peaceful and tranquil. No aura similar to your bloodline has appeared, let alone any accidents."

"Why did your brother go to the Black Mountain Yamen?"

Hearing the person in front of him speak, Ji Han finally breathed a sigh of relief:
"Is that so? Then I guess he should have left. Thank you for letting me know!"

For a moment, Ji Han was filled with awe for this unfathomable existence before him.

Half of the Black Mountain is across!

Just by wandering out of body for a moment, he could detect such a long distance.
Although the masters of the 'Xiaoyao Realm' are said to have forged divine souls, which allow them to control weapons with divine power and thus fight and kill the enemy, none of them are so incredible!

The person in front of me is truly unfathomable!
"By the way, what is your name, senior? How should I address you, junior?"

"You are so powerful. Can you still use me, a warrior who has established his foundation?"

Now the day is setting and night is about to fall.

Before leaving with this powerful warrior who seemed to be able to solve his own 'situation'.

Ji Han asked curiously.

"My name?"

"I haven't been back for decades, and now I think few people recognize me."

The man laughed at himself:

"Nothing. It's just a small thing for you to do."

"I am just a coward who doesn't dare to revisit the old place, so I want to ask you to deliver some things, that's all."

"Also, if conditions permit, after I return to earth, if you can achieve the third step one day and help take care of Qinjian Mountain, it will be enough to compensate for my temporary guidance."

"As for the name."

"My surname is Tantai, and my given name is Yao."

"you."

"You can call me 'Mr. Tantai'."

Turn back from Heishan Yamen and return to Qingshi Alley.

Jixia was no longer registered as a "correspondent" and was no longer registered as a hunter. He was now just an ordinary member of the one million "Black Mountain People".

Apart from this cold and desolate courtyard with nothing in it, he was all alone. However, facing the town garrison that looked like a "broken land", he was not at all nervous and just took it as normal.

This is the confidence and experience that brought him sublimation.

“This yard is a bit run-down and narrow.”

"Once I have established contact with the Xie family, discovered some of my secrets, and resolved the hidden dangers in the garrison, I will move to another place to practice."

"In my previous life, I won the title of 'First in Wutong'. I went through the official route, but when I went to the Martial Temple, I almost got caught. I don't know why the 'Great Demon Lord' took a liking to me."

"But the government is under too much surveillance, and the ranks are too clear. I have too many secrets, and it would be easy to reveal my tracks. I can't go."

"Now I will quit my duties and rely on 'Pei Luye's' relationship to join Yunluan Mountain. Sooner or later, I will be able to get in touch with Senior Sister Ruan Xiuxiu and Senior Sister Song Fanjing."

"Although cultivation is one's own business, if we can get a little help from others, it will be twice as effective with half the effort. Why not do it?"

“But what did I do?”

"We still need to explore this point clearly."

With that in mind, Ji Xia stepped into the room.

"Gurgling."

After being simmered on the stove for several hours, the essence of the medicine had been completely absorbed into the innate-level 'spiritual soup' made from the 'Obsidian Jade Dew Flower' and snake soup.

Simultaneously,

The essence of the Qingming wood core and the colorful tiger whip that gathered energy was refined into the 'spiritual wine', which also produced results.

This is also thanks to Ji Xia's former vision of "Song Chai Xin".

Otherwise, even if you have the precious medicine, you don’t know how to use it.

After pouring out the Obsidian Jade Dew Soup and the Azure Tiger Spirit Wine into the bowl, Ji Xia suddenly realized that Ji Han had disappeared.

Taking out the round 'Dragon Elephant Blood Moving Pill' he gave her, which was of innate quality, Ji Xia sighed silently: "That's thoughtful."

Then, he drank the powerful tiger whip wine in one gulp!

In an instant, it was as if a raging fire was burning on his body, and the 'mercury blood and silver marrow' that he had just moved became solid and hot in an instant, and it was tempered along with his meridians without any scruples!

He has the memory of Song Chaixin's past practice.

To be honest, there is no other law except the one before.

Even now he is still practicing the 'Golden Gate Locking Jade Technique'.

But Ji Xia was like a fish in water when it came to all these foundation-building challenges. He just had to retrace his steps.

As long as there are enough precious medicines and elixirs!
It may be a bit difficult to break through the great innateness in one breath.

But one night is equivalent to a year or two of hard work for others
But it's as if it's nothing!

With the innate-level 'Qingming Tiger Spirit Wine', blood was moved three times in an instant until the 'Mercury Blood and Silver Marrow' was complete!
Then, Ji Xia drank the Obsidian Jade Dew Soup in one gulp without stopping!

At that moment, he cleansed his marrow and clenched his five fingers, as if his entire body's bones, blood and flesh were being reorganized!
Along with the medicinal properties, strands of 'filth' began to be expelled from Ji Xia's body, squeezing out from the pores of his skin, making his skin more transparent and tougher.

The summer has already taken off its outer clothes.

He went back and forth to get clean water several times, washed off the scalding heat all over his body, and then——

Her skin is as white as jade, and it blooms smooth under the moonlight at night!
At this moment, Ji Xia put on the water and fire fairy clothes, 'water and fire cannot invade'!
Moreover, it was achieved in one step!
Overnight, we crossed two borders.

Even the most talented person in the world would have to bow his head when seeing this.

It is not unheard of that some people, after reaching the third step, attained enlightenment overnight and made rapid progress.

Can.
But I have never heard of anyone who can make such a rapid breakthrough in foundation building after embarking on the path of a warrior.

And the foundation is still so solid!

This is a complete reversal of common sense in spiritual practice!
"The next step is to gather energy."

"And I carry the 'Demon Hunting Spirit Body', which is the most superior Taoist energy. It won't take long for me to break through this barrier!"

"only."

"I need to think about the method of practicing the 'Great Innate' level, otherwise the Golden Gate Locking Jade Art is too mediocre and cannot defeat the geniuses of the big sects and government offices."

"Before, I was planning to seek the Dharma from the Xie Mansion, but now if I can enter the 'Yunluan', it would be better!"

"Now, when it comes to martial arts alone, I have the vision and background I once had, as well as the spiritual body and the authentic fist."

"I am invincible in this world!"

Ji Xia put on his coat and thought silently under the moonlight.

at the same time,

The empty bluestone alley was suddenly filled with a rustling sound. It was very slight, but for Ji Xia, who had just achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation, it was a very pleasant experience.
But, I heard it clearly.

"Ji Han?"

He murmured first.

But soon, he denied it himself.

Because there are more than one footsteps.

"It seems."

"The person who came here is not a good person."

Ji Xia was thoughtful and frowned slightly.

When he came back, his brother was missing, so maybe something had happened to him.

Could it be that it is related to this group of people?

"It's the middle of the night, hiding your head and showing your tail."

Ji Xia straightened his clothes, jumped lightly, and climbed onto the beam. His eyes turned cold as he looked at the several figures not far away who were full of energy and excitement:
"I just don't know what kind of stuff it is."

In the outer city of Black Mountain, you don't usually see many people practicing 'Zhou Tian Qi Gathering'.

It turns out that these people have a "clear energy" surrounding them!

This is to eat yourself up.
Can,
In the summer, let alone collecting energy.

Even with the great innate power, he might be able to resist it!

"Whoosh!"

Yu Fangliang moved slightly, his hair covering a pair of black pupils, and Ji Xia's lips curled slightly:

"Let me see, who wants to have feelings for me?"

Tonight is destined to be sleepless!
