In the eastern part of the Netherworld Empire, there was an extremely luxurious city. The city was surrounded by a mountain and a river. It was extremely beautiful. Moreover, the buildings in the city were a little special. The strange palace shape revealed an ancient aura. This was the famous "Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa" in the entire Dongxuan Empire. It was one of the two rulers of the Netherworld Empire.
The Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa was divided into the outer city, inner city, and the main city. The outer city was used to entertain distinguished guests, the inner city was used to host activities, and the main city was the base of the villa. Outsiders were not allowed to enter.
At this moment, there were tens of thousands of people gathered in the outer city of the Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa. These people were all here for the New Talent Competition. However, only a small portion of them were here to participate in the competition. Most of them were here to watch the show.
After two days of traveling, Xing Jue finally arrived at the outskirts of the Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa. Tomorrow was the day of the New Talent Competition.
Outside of the Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa, there was an endless stream of people walking into the city. These people were also here for the New Talent Competition.
At this moment, outside of the Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa, there were ten men wearing white robes. On their white robes, there was a beautiful pill engraved. Beside the pill was a beautiful gourd. They were the disciples of the Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa.
In the hands of these disciples, there was a strange talisman. This was a testing talisman. As long as the talisman touched a person's body, that person's strength would appear on the talisman. Those who wanted to enter the mountain villa had to pass the test of the talisman. Moreover, their strength had to be at least at the level of a Martial Master before they could enter the mountain villa.
Naturally, Xing Jue and Xiaoqian easily passed the test. However, when they realized that Xing Jue had reached the Martial Master level at such a young age, the disciples looked at Xing Jue in astonishment.
Even in the Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa, there were only a few people with such talent. Yet, Xing Jue actually had such strength. In addition to Xiaoqian, who was also a Martial Master, these disciples guessed that Xing Jue must be someone from the Nether Hall.
The Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa was extremely disgusted with the Nether Hall. This was because the Nether Hall had often plotted against the Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa in order to seize control of the Netherworld Empire. However, because they did not have enough evidence, the Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa could not do anything to them. However, the Nether Hall naturally attracted the hostility of the Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa. Therefore, when they suspected that Xing Jue and Xiaoqian were disciples of the Nether Hall, they gave two invitation cards to Xing Jue and Xiaoqian.
"Why is it a 'Lower' invitation card? That friend from before who was also a Martial Lord received an invitation with the word 'middle'. "Seeing that he was given an invitation with the word 'lower', Xing Jue said with some displeasure.
The invitation cards of the Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa were divided into three levels: Upper, Middle, and Lower. According to the different levels, the treatment one would receive in the villa would also be different. Needless to say, the 'Lower' invitation card was definitely the worst.
Seeing that Xing Jue was actually unwilling, the disciple became even angrier and said, "Just take what I gave you. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
"Oh? So the people of the Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa are so unreasonable? "Seeing that the disciple was actually angry, Xing Jue was also very angry.
"You …" Hearing Xing Jue's words, the disciple was about to flip out.
"What's going on?" At this moment, a man walked out of the villa. He was not very old, only around 20 years old. He was also wearing a white robe. However, there were two golden stars hanging on the chest of his robe. These stars were not something that the disciples did not have. It was obvious that this man's status was much higher than theirs. Moreover, this man was also an Advanced Martial Master.
"Brother Zhao." Seeing that the man had walked out, the disciple who had spoken to Xing Jue hurriedly bowed respectfully. Then, he walked to the side of the man and whispered a few words to him.
After hearing the words of the disciple, the face of the disciple who was called Brother Zhao showed a trace of anger. Then, he walked to the side of Xing Jue and said coldly, "Since you are a guest of the Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa, you must listen to the arrangements of the Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa. A guest should follow the wishes of the host. Have you not heard of this saying? If you think that giving you an invitation is unfair, then you don't have to enter the Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa. "
"Hehe, brother, you have misunderstood. I am not a disciple of the Nether Hall." Although the man was still speaking to Xing Jue in a bad mood, Xing Jue suddenly smiled and said.
This was because the whisper between the two of them was heard by Xing Jue through his special soul. Therefore, Xing Jue naturally knew why they were making things difficult for him.
"Eh? May I know which sect you are from? " After hearing Xing Jue's words, the disciple was shocked. Then, he put away his anger and asked politely.
This was because he never thought that Xing Jue would be able to hear the whisper between him and the disciple. One must know that the disciple had intentionally used martial qi to lower his voice. This kind of method of conversation, no matter how high the cultivation of others was, it would be very difficult for them to hear it. However, the fact that Xing Jue was able to hear it made the disciple look at him in a different light.
"To be honest, brother, the two of us are actually disciples of the Yufeng Pavilion. Recently, we came to the Netherworld Kingdom to take care of some matters. Coincidentally, we heard that the Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa is holding a New Excellence Assembly. We have long heard that the Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa is famous in the world. Therefore, we came here to take a look." Xing Jue also replied politely. In his words, he couldn't help but praise the Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa. After all, everyone loved to hear good things.
"So you are a disciple of the Yufeng Pavilion. Why didn't you say so earlier? My name is Zhao Liang. I wonder what this brother's name is? If you don't mind, you can call me big brother." As expected, after hearing that Xing Jue was a disciple of the Yufeng Pavilion, the disciple called Zhao Kong's attitude changed 180 degrees. He said politely with a face full of smiles.
"Brother Zhao, you are older than me, so naturally, you should call me big brother. This little brother is called Xing Jue. Please take care of me." Seeing that he had succeeded, Xing Jue also replied with a face full of smiles.
"Haha, brother Xing, just now was purely a misunderstanding. Come, come, come … let me lead the way for brother Xing." As he spoke, Zhao Liang smiled and brought Xing Jue and Xiaoqian into the Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa.
Seeing that Xing Jue and Xiaoqian were actually enjoying such treatment, the group of people at the side were simply envious to death …
In the outer city of the Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa, there was a rather luxurious loft. This kind of loft could only be lived in by people with an invitation. And to be able to obtain an invitation, one had to at least be an expert at the level of Wu Zun.
However, because of his relationship with Zhao Liang, Xing Jue was able to enjoy this kind of treatment. At this moment, in the loft, Xing Jue and Zhao Liang were sitting in the living room, chatting cheerfully and wittily. As for Xiaoqian, she had gone to her room to rest.
"Brother Xing, this time, do you want to participate in my Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa's New Excellence Assembly?" Zhao Liang said to Xing Jue with a smile.
"That's right, senior brother Zhao. I still don't know how to participate in this New Excellence Assembly." Xing Jue replied politely. Originally, he was still worried about how to participate in this New Excellence Assembly. But now that he had a relationship with Zhao Liang, participating in the competition was not a problem.
Because after some understanding, Xing Jue already knew that this Zhao Liang was a two star alchemist. In the Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa, a two star alchemist was equivalent to the main pavilion disciple of Yufeng Pavilion. In the Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa, they had a very heavy say.
"This New Excellence Assembly actually doesn't have any rules. As long as you have the guts, you can participate. However, there is a limit, and that is that the age must be under 18 years old. Otherwise, you can't be considered a newcomer. But brother Xing's age shouldn't be a problem." Zhao Liang said with a smile.
"However, if brother Xing wants to participate, I can help you through the back door. In any case, the early stage of the competition is only to screen out those who fish in troubled waters. So brother Xing Jue doesn't need to participate. Wait until the finals of the Soul Devouring Competition, brother Xing can directly participate." Zhao Liang suddenly remembered that he still had this right, and then immediately said with a smile.
"Since that's the case, then I'll trouble brother Zhao." Xing Jue replied politely. This time, there would definitely be a lot of people participating in the New Excellence Assembly, and the competition would definitely take a lot of time. Since he didn't need to participate, Xing Jue was naturally very happy. After all, with this time, Xing Jue would rather train for a while.
And after exchanging greetings with Xing Jue, that Zhao Liang then left. Moreover, he also sent some people to bring some snacks and fruits to Xing Jue. Although it was only a short conversation, Xing Jue could feel that this Zhao Liang was a warm-hearted person. Moreover, he could be considered as an upright person. Not knowing why, ever since he cultivated the Soul Devouring Art, the depths of Xing Jue's soul seemed to have an additional layer of perception, and he could even feel the character of others.
This kind of ability could not be said to be weak. If in the future, Xing Jue could completely control this ability, then at the very least, it would be impossible for anyone to do anything bad to Xing Jue.
And after eating the snacks with Xiaoqian, Xing Jue returned to his room and began to cultivate the Soul Devouring Art. According to Xiaoqian's instructions, he first specialized in the elementary method of the soul, Soul Healing.
Although this Soul Healing was the elementary method of using the soul, there was still some difficulty in cultivating it. However, fortunately, Xing Jue's comprehension was not weak, and he very quickly grasped the general method of operation. In fact, the soul itself had the effect of nourishing the body, but many people did not know this.
When a person broke through from a Martial Warrior to a Martial Master, the body's Soul Power began to strengthen, and at this time, the nourishing effect of the body appeared. However, many people thought that this was completely the effect of the Martial Aura, but in fact, this was a misunderstanding.
And as long as one went through special cultivation, the nourishing effect of the soul would increase, and after reaching a certain level, there would be a healing effect, and this effect was what Xing Jue wanted to cultivate.
In the quiet room, Xing Jue closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the bed. Invisible Soul Power slowly flowed out of his body, surrounding the surface of Xing Jue's body, and constantly wriggled. Under this slight wriggling, Xing Jue's skin also became healthier.
After feeling that comfortable feeling, the corner of Xing Jue's mouth also formed a trace of a smile. Even though he was not injured, Xing Jue could feel that he had already grasped the initial stage of the Soul Healing.
