In front of the dilapidated temple, Shen Shu, who was sitting cross-legged, put his palms together and said without changing his expression,
"What gave you the illusion that I know how to advance to the first rank?"
Xu Qi'an was silent for a while and sighed softly.
Sure enough, it was too much to ask for an answer from a remnant soul. He thought for a while and said,
"I have fulfilled my promise and helped you gather all the body parts except the head. If you are willing, I can let you reunite with them."
Shen Shu smiled.
"Thank you, benefactor!"
"Among all the parts of Shen Shu, this one is the most Buddha-like …" Xu Qi'an nodded and took the initiative to leave Shen Shu's consciousness.
What the right arm didn't know didn't mean that the body didn't. When he gathered all the parts except the head, maybe the quantitative change could lead to qualitative change and let Shen Shu remember more things.
Shen Shu was half an Einherjar, and his way of being a warrior monk was very similar to that of Warrior. If there was anyone in the world who could be Xu Qi'an's teacher, it would be Shen Shu.
In addition, the Queen of Demons was also a first rank powerhouse. The nine-tailed fox must know how to advance to the first rank.
Therefore, the next goal was clear — go to the Southern Border!
…
Capital City, Ling Bao Temple.
Luo Yuheng stepped on the auspicious cloud, descended from the blue sky, and floated into the Ling Bao Temple.
When the disciples in the temple saw the Taoist Master return, they immediately came to the secluded courtyard and said respectfully,
"Taoist Master, there is news from the palace that in a month, Xu Yinluo and Princess Lin An will be married. Please be sure to attend the wedding."
Hearing the news, Luo Yuheng subconsciously stretched out her hand to summon the flying sword.
She suddenly remembered that she had left the ancestral Heaven-grade weapon in Xu Qi'an's head. That brat's brain was full of nonsense and needed to be cleaned up by the Heaven-grade sword.
"The wedding in a month …" Luo Yuheng frowned and thought for a while. She couldn't help but look in the direction of the palace.
"Heh, that woman wants to use me as a weapon to ruin the wedding? You are not anxious, why should I be? "
She planned to bear with it and not respond.
However, after thinking about it, she felt that she should be anxious. Up until now, the empress and Xu Qi 'an were innocent.
However, she had dual cultivated with that Xu fellow time and time again. No matter how much she said she was unwilling to accept it, she knew that he was in her heart.
How could the dual cultivation partner of the Human Sect's Dao Leader marry someone else?
Luo Yuheng said,
"Go to the Celestial Commissioner and look for the woman that Xu Qi 'an had left there. Just say that Xu Qi' an and Princess Lin An will be married in a month."
Although she couldn't do it herself, she could ask the Flower God to do it. The Flower God was stupid and stupid, so she was the easiest tool to use.
Most importantly, the Flower God was very pretty. No man could ignore her unreasonable behavior.
The disciple of Lingbao Temple didn't doubt him.
"This disciple understands."
…
Since the Taoist Leader had given the order, the disciple dared not delay. He immediately went to the Celestial Commissioner's office, but there was no one there.
On the other side, an ordinary carriage stopped in front of the Xu residence. A mediocre looking woman jumped out of the carriage and walked to the door.
Outside the door, there was a pair of armed guards.
The status of the Xu residence was not the same as before. There were skilled guards arranged inside and outside the residence. There were also secret sentries lying in wait nearby.
"I am an old friend of Xu Qi 'an."
Mu Nanzi said to the guards, "He invited me to stay at his residence for a while."
Early this morning, the palace sent someone to tell her that Xu Qi 'an had asked the emperor to pass a message to her. He hoped that she would move out of the Celestial Commissioner's office and stay at the Xu residence.
In Mu Nanzi's view, that Xu fellow was trying to please her in a disguised way. No matter how good the Celestial Commissioner was, it was still someone else's territory.
And the Xu residence was his home.
The two guards looked at each other and the one on the left said,
"Please wait for a moment."
He rushed into the residence to report.
A moment later, he returned and invited Mu Nanzi in.
Following the guards through the outer courtyard and through the winding corridors, Mu Nanzi saw her aunt in a bright dress and a beautiful face in the inner hall.
Aunt also saw the woman brought in by the guards. Aunt thought to herself, "That's not right. How could such a woman be favored by my nephew?"
When she heard that a woman came to the house and claimed to be personally invited by her unlucky nephew, her first reaction was that her nephew had caused a lot of trouble outside. She couldn't refuse, so she allowed the woman to enter the residence.
After seeing the woman's appearance, Aunt felt that something was wrong.
With her nephew's dissolute and lecherous temperament, the woman he liked must be around 16 years old and as beautiful as a flower.
But the woman in front of her had a mediocre appearance and ordinary facial features. Apart from her impressive breasts and her big buttocks, there was nothing else special about her.
She looked to be about the same age as herself.
Dalang would definitely not like such a woman.
"Huh …"
Aunt looked at her and said, "I remember now. You were the one who took my family's carriage to the Celestial Commissioner to watch the Buddhist duel."
And she even slandered Lingyin as a relative's daughter … The vengeful aunt muttered in her heart.
"You still remember me!"
Mu Nanzi nodded, a little surprised at her aunt's memory. She looked around the inner hall and was quickly attracted by the Nine Star Orchid on the ornamental shelf.
Aunt looked at her and asked:
"Ning Yan asked you to come?"
"Did I come on my own?"
The princess was used to being a tsundere. She snorted and said, "If he didn't insist on inviting me, I wouldn't have come."
Unexpectedly, Aunt was also a tsundere. She was unhappy when she heard that.
"This orchid of yours is not good. It's thirsty and wants to drink water. Look at how wilted it is. "Mu Nanzi walked to the shelf and played with the Nine Star Orchid.
"Hey, who told you to touch it!" Aunt suddenly frowned.
This Nine Star Orchid was her favorite. This flower was extremely cold resistant and only bloomed in winter. There were a total of nine flowers, each with a different color. They were bright and moving, so it was called Nine Star Orchid.
This flower was very ornamental and was loved by the nobles. It was said that it originally came from the King of Zhenbei's mansion.
In addition, the most precious thing about this flower was that it was very difficult to cultivate, so it was very rare.
The Nine Star Orchid was given to Aunt by the former Prime Minister's daughter, Simu Wang, to please her future mother-in-law.
Not to mention Mu Nanzhi, no one in the family was allowed to touch her. Even Xu Lingyin, the youngest daughter whom Auntie doted on the most, was touched and beaten.
Aunt originally raised it very well, but for some reason, half a month ago, the flower suddenly wilted and it never bloomed again.
"It's thirsty."
Mu Nanzi repeated.
"How do you know it's thirsty? Did it tell you?" Aunt snorted.
"The Nine Star Orchid is very cold resistant and doesn't need much watering. It only needs to be watered once every five days."
"Then why did it wilt?" Mu Nanzi pointed out.
Aunt was speechless for a moment and explained:
"Because it's delicate."
Mu Nanzi pointed at the charcoal pot in the hall and said unhappily:
"You burn charcoal every day and the house is hot. Of course it's thirsty, but you still use the same rules to raise it outside. How did you raise such a good flower?"
Aunt was furious. She felt that she was being humiliated in her professional field and said angrily:
"What do you know about flowers? What do you know about flowers! "
"I know more than you!" Mu Nanzi retorted:
"I can even make it bloom on the spot."
"Then why don't you make it bloom?" Aunt sneered with her hands on her waist.
Mu Nanzhi's eyes darted around and she said,
"If I make it bloom, you will call me sister."
Aunt snorted: "It's a deal!"
Mu Nanzi blew at the Nine Star Orchid. A miracle happened. The Nine Star Orchid quickly formed a bud and slowly bloomed. Between the green, there were nine colorful flowers. It was a beautiful sight.
Aunt's mouth turned into an "O" shape. Her expression froze.
Mu Nanzi lightly said:
"Call me sister."
From now on, I'm Xu Ningyan's senior. If he dares to touch me again, he'll be committing treason.
…
Nanjiang, Nanfa Temple.
Light flashed on the square outside the Sealed Tower. Cyan and White Clothes, as well as a white ape with wooden shackles and shackles appeared.
"Who are you?"
The patrolling demon soldiers on the square noticed them. They shouted and approached with weapons in hand.
When they got closer and saw the appearance of the person, the demon soldiers all bowed and their attitude changed:
"Greetings, Xu Yinluo."
Xu Qi 'an nodded and released his aura. A few seconds later, Nine-tailed Fox appeared on the square.
She had silvery hair and a pair of furry fox ears on her head. Her face was covered by a veil, covering her devastatingly beautiful face.
Her upper body was covered with a chest wrap, a short skirt made of animal skin, and a fur coat around her waist. It looked like a skirt with a slit in the front.
Behind her, the nine fox tails seemed to have a life of their own. Sometimes they spread out like a peacock, sometimes they moved in different directions.
"What's with the sword on your head?"
As soon as Nine-tailed Celestial Fox saw him, her eyes were fixed on the sword hilt on Xu Qi 'an's head.
"I've been abused …"
He waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to talk about it.
"Are you here to ask for reinforcements? I don't have the energy to go to the Central Plains to fight for you. "
Nine-tailed Celestial Fox blinked and asked with a smile.
Her voice was soft and magnetic, with a playful charm.
"Your news is outdated. I just advanced to the second rank and fought with Xu Pingfeng." Xu Qi 'an smiled.
Nine-tailed Celestial Fox was stunned. She looked at Xu Qi 'an for a while and chuckled.
"Well done."
"You look too calm. How can I show my divinity in front of others …" Xu Qi 'an complained.
"I'm here to send Shenshu's right arm … Are you hurt?"
Nine-tailed Celestial Fox explained calmly.
"I just fought with Guang Xian and Liuli, and I suffered some injuries. Fortunately, Glaze was severely injured by the Supervisor and couldn't use his full strength. Otherwise, my injury would be more serious. "
"It seems that Nanjiang is not peaceful either …" Xu Qi 'an looked at the Sealed Tower.
"Is Master Shenshu okay?"
Nine-tailed Celestial Fox curled her lips and rolled her eyes.
"No one can hurt him except for the supreme rank. You came just in time. Shenshu's evil thoughts and warlike nature are too hard to control. His right arm is his Buddha nature. After merging with the soul in his right arm, Shenshu will become gentler. "
As she spoke, the gate of the Sealed Tower opened with a bang. Shenshu, wearing only a pair of black trousers, walked out with his upper body bare.
His entire body was pitch-black, and his muscles were bulging like a sculpture. His neck was empty.
As soon as Shenshu's body appeared, the right arm in Xu Qi 'an's body moved. The outline of a right arm protruded from his chest and separated from his flesh bit by bit. It was about to come out of Xu Qi' an's body.
"It hurts …" Xu Qi 'an frowned. He clearly felt the pain of his flesh being separated.
Shenshu's right arm had been dormant in his body for many years and had long been integrated into his flesh. Now that it was separated, Xu Qi 'an felt like his limbs were torn off.
Suddenly, a black right arm "broke out" of his body and flew toward Shenshu's body.
"No, I don't want to see this hypocritical guy."
Suddenly, Shenshu's left arm protested loudly and slapped the right arm away.
With a "boom", the right arm flew out of the sky.
Xu Qi 'an was stunned. "What is going on?"
As soon as he thought of this, a stream of light whizzed toward him. The right arm flew back and hit the left arm with a Rocket-like Cannon.
"It's not up to you!"
At this time, Shenshu's left leg flew up and accurately hit the right arm, kicking it away again.
"I also hate this hypocritical guy," the left leg said loudly.
"You two don't know how to appreciate favors."
Shenshu's left arm and legs separated from his body and condensed his Qi into two arms and legs.
He said in a deep voice, "Then let's fight."
His torso and right arm were both gentle in nature. The left arm was full of malice, while the legs were wild and battle-hungry.
Thus, the torso, right arm, left arm, and legs began to fight. The scene was extremely tragic.
Nine-tailed Celestial Fox pursed her bright lips to prevent them from twitching. Taking a deep breath, the Myriad Demon Queen said in an indifferent tone, "Let them fight.
It will be harmonious after the fight. Heh, everyone has different opinions. Let's talk on the side. "
Does everyone disagree with each other? Just like every time when I was a sage, I would hate myself for not taking care of my body because of my lust … Xu Qi 'an nodded and roughly understood Shenshu's current state.
"I have something to ask, Goddess."
They left the Sealed Tower and came to a luxurious palace south of the Nanfa Temple.
The palace was brightly lit. The floor was covered with exquisite carpets, potted plants, gold, silver, and jade artifacts. The pillars that supported the dome were wrapped with gold and jade.
Fox demon beauties dressed in skimpy clothes stood in the hall. Each of them had a charming appearance and a lively fragrance.
Xu Qi 'an also saw Kiyohime, who had a cold temperament. She was sitting at the table, reading the report and dealing with the affairs of the Myriad Demon Kingdom.
Kiyohime looked up and glanced at Xu Qi 'an, Sun Xuanji, and Guardian Yuan. She wanted to say something, but she stopped and bowed her head to continue her work.
At the end of the scarlet carpet, there was a large bed. Nine-tailed Celestial Fox was lazily lying on the side, her nine fluffy and beautiful fox tails were slowly stroking.
"Who pulled out the last magic nail on your body?"
Nine-tailed Celestial Fox asked the question that she had been curious about for a long time, but she didn't ask it.
"Your brother!" Xu Qi 'an laughed.
Nine-tailed Fox's flawless face was stunned, and she asked in surprise:
"Azuro?"
She was a smart fox. After a little calculation, she immediately thought of Azuro's previous act.
But she didn't understand the purpose of Azuro's action.
"Because Azuro is the number eight of the Heaven & Earth Society." Xu Qi 'an took out the fragment of the Book of the Earth and waved it.
For this secret organization, Nine-tailed Celestial Fox had heard a little about it. She knew that it was formed by the Taoists of the Earth Sect, and the organization used the Book of the Earth as a token.
Xu Qi 'an briefly explained the reason. When Nine-tailed Fox nodded slightly, indicating that she understood, he asked directly:
"Today, in addition to fulfilling the promise and returning Master Shen Shu's right arm, there is another purpose!"
"How to advance?" The nine celestial foxes raised their eyebrows.
"Goddess is really smart." Xu Qi 'an smiled and complimented.
"It's not hard to guess. If you want to turn the tide and save Daibun, a Second Stage cultivation is not enough. Galo Tree is the best among the First Stage cultivators, and the White Emperor has demonstrated the strength of a First Stage cultivator. Just these two alone are enough to give you a headache.
"What's more, the White Emperor's true body is the descendant of the Ancient Gods and Devils — Da Huang!
"We don't know what it's plotting in secret. In short, with your Second Stage cultivation, you can't fight against Cloud State. Advancing to the First Stage is your only way out. "
Nine-tailed Fox sighed.
"But I can't give you any advice."
Hearing this, Xu Qi 'an frowned and asked in confusion,
"What do you mean, Goddess?"
He didn't believe that Nine-tailed Celestial Fox didn't know how to advance to the First Stage. Not to mention that the former ruler of the Myriad Demons Kingdom was a First Stage.
The Nine-tailed Fox in front of him was at the middle or peak of the Second Stage. The next step was to advance to the First Stage.
Seeking to advance was the instinct of all living beings. Nine-tailed Fox definitely knew the correct way to advance to the First Stage.
"The Demon Race and the Warrior Race are very similar. The only difference is that one cultivates in Innate Prowess, while the other cultivates in Will. Other than that, there's almost no difference. But Nine-tailed Celestial Fox isn't a pure Demon Race. "
The Silver-Haired Demon sighed.
"We are the descendants of the Gods and Devils. The Gods and Devils are different from the current major systems. Let me put it this way. The Spiritual Accumulation is the foundation of the descendants of the Gods and Devils. For me, as long as the Spiritual Accumulation is fully awakened and integrated into my body and Primordial Spirit, I will be able to advance to the First Stage.
"So, if you insist on asking me how to advance to the First Stage, I can only tell you that as long as you have the Spiritual Accumulation of the Gods and Devils, it will be enough."
This, this is the same as Mu Nanzi. She doesn't need to cultivate. As long as the Spiritual Accumulation is awakened, she will naturally return to the peak … Xu Qi 'an was disappointed.
"Then, does Great Master Shen Shu know how to advance to the First Stage?"
Xu Qi 'an asked reluctantly.
"Maybe, maybe not." Nine-tailed Celestial Fox said with a smile.
"You can ask after they finish fighting."
The hall fell silent.
Guardian Yuan glanced at Xu Qi 'an, then at Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, his face full of disappointment.
Guardian Yuan's Innate Divine Power was not enough to pry into the mind of a Transcendent.
"Looks like it will be very difficult to pry into Xu Yinluo's mind in the future …" Guardian Yuan thought with mixed feelings.
The Silver-Haired Demon looked at the white ape and said in surprise,
"Huh, this monkey is not dead yet. You humans are quite forgiving."
Xu Qi 'an said calmly.
"He's not far from death."
Protector Yuan symbolically lifted the wooden shackle around his neck.
An hour later, the violent fluctuation of vital energy outside stopped, and everything became calm and tranquil.
The group left the hall and went to the Sealed Tower.
On the square, the headless Shen Shu stood proudly with all its limbs intact. It seemed that after some training, they had chosen to compromise with him.
Xu Qi 'an hurriedly came to him and cupped his hands.
"Senior, I have something to ask you."
Shen Shu was silent for a moment.
"How long has it been since there was a First Stage Warrior in the Land of the Nine States? I know what you want to ask. Before I answer, please think about it.
"What is the biggest difference between me and other Warrior?"
