In the blink of an eye, three days had passed since Xing Jue and Tang Lian left Yan City.
At this moment, the machine-operated ship was still flying at high speed in the clouds. Gusts of strong winds howled outside the ship, sounding like ghosts.
However, both the strong winds and the ear-piercing howls of the wind had nothing to do with the inside of the ship under the protection of the boundary.
At this moment, Xing Jue was sitting in the ship, enjoying the delicacies while chatting and drinking with Tang Lian. Even though he was facing a new disciple of the Reincarnation Peak, an Asura Martial Master, Xing Jue didn't show the slightest bit of fear. He was calm and composed.
Tang Lian didn't dislike Xing Jue at all. Instead, she admired him. Not everyone dared to be so relaxed in front of her, and Xing Jue's actions proved that he was extraordinary.
"Senior Sister Tang Lian, the Reincarnation Peak is so far away from the Eastern Region. Why did you come here?"
Xing Jue already knew that Tang Lian was here to complete a sect mission. The mission was simple. She was to bring a talented disciple back to the Reincarnation Peak and let the Reincarnation Peak groom him or her.
Normally, the Reincarnation Peak was located at the center of the world. It was supposed to be a place filled with talents. The Reincarnation Peak was recruiting disciples. Not to mention invitations, as long as the news spread, countless talented people would flock to the Reincarnation Peak.
However, Tang Lian and Tang Lian didn't hesitate to travel back and forth to the Eastern Region for a few months. They even asked Yan City to host the event just to recruit two disciples. This really puzzled Xing Jue.
"Heh, Junior Brother Xing Jue, even though there are many talented disciples in the world, there are also many powerful forces."
"Although the Wuzhi Peak and the Mountain Gate Valley are powerful, there are still other forces that can rival them."
"Moreover, many forces don't hesitate to groom talented disciples. Sometimes, joining a less prestigious force can lead to unexpected gains."
"Therefore, many wise people will choose some medium-sized forces, because entering a force like Mount Wuzhi is undoubtedly a risk, and only the strong can become famous."
"Faced with such a situation, even a sect as strong as Reincarnation Peak has to resort to some tricks. Therefore, every year, the new disciples have a mission to bring back an outstanding disciple."
"Of course, this kind of thing also has its benefits. For example, if I bring you back to the Reincarnation Peak, if you achieve outstanding results in the future, the Reincarnation Peak itself will reward me quite a lot."
"As a matter of fact, I've already received some rewards for finding a Level One talent like you. That's because the Reincarnation Peak takes in hundreds of thousands of disciples every year, but there are never more than ten thousand Level One talents. Seeing that Xing Jue had doubts, Tang Lian did not hide anything and explained to Xing Jue in detail.
After hearing Tang Lian's words, Xing Jue also understood that the various forces in the center of the world were also fighting openly and covertly for the sake of outstanding new blood.
If one entered a medium-sized force, it would be easier to obtain better training resources. However, unless one could become famous, their reputation would be far from that of a large force like the Reincarnation Peak.
After entering the Reincarnation Peak, it was obvious that the competition between disciples would be even more intense. Without sufficient strength, it would be difficult to stand out.
Even the achievements in training would be far inferior to those of a medium-sized force, but if one could climb up, then the achievements would also be very impressive.
"Actually, meeting two Level One talents in the Eastern Region this time was also very unexpected. Speaking of which, I have to thank that senior for reminding me," Tang Lian added.
"Senior?"
"Yes, I only became a new disciple this year, and it was my first time accepting a mission to become a nominal disciple. I didn't want to travel too far."
"However, when I left the Reincarnation Peak, I received advice from a senior expert. He said that because the Eastern Region is desolate, very few people come here, and maybe I can find a Level One talent."
"And that senior is unfathomable, I also felt that what he said was very reasonable, so I came together with my Junior Brother. I didn't expect to meet two Level One talents, but it's a pity that you crippled one of them."
"Speaking of which, my Junior Brother must hate you to the bone." Tang Lian smiled, but she did not have any intention of blaming Xing Jue.
Hearing Tang Lian's words, Xing Jue only smiled foolishly. He did not have a good impression of Tang Lian's Junior Brother, so he was not afraid that he would hate him at all.
"Boom"
But as the two of them were chatting, a loud sound suddenly came from outside the ship. At the same time, the originally stable mechanical ship unexpectedly shook violently.
"What's going on?"
Such a change shocked Xing Jue. He quickly looked through the window, only to find that in front of him was a vast expanse of whiteness, which quickly covered the body of the ship. It was already in a white hurricane.
"Don't worry, it's just an ordinary hurricane. You can rest in the ship, I'll go deal with it." Tang Lian's delicate body moved, and she passed through the barrier, merging into the white hurricane and disappearing.
Regarding Tang Lian's departure, Xing Jue was not too worried. Since Tang Lian dared to go out like this, it meant that she definitely had a way to deal with this hurricane.
So at this moment, Xing Jue did not go out to help, but continued to leisurely drink wine, eat delicious food, and enjoy life.
"Oh right, it's already been three days. Let me see what that girl Lin Shishi has mysteriously prepared for me."
Suddenly, Xing Jue remembered the golden box that Lin Shishi had given him three days ago, so he quickly put down the wine cup in his hand and took out the box.
"This …"
But the moment Xing Jue opened the box, his previous leisurely expression was completely gone, replaced by a trace of shock.
Because in the center of the golden box was a fire pot, and it was the fire pot that contained the Deep Sea Fire.
The Deep Sea Fire was a special fire of the Heavens and Earth, and it was extremely helpful to alchemists. Xing Jue had originally given it to Lin Shishi, but he did not expect her to return it.
However, what surprised Xing Jue the most was that apart from the fire pot, there were actually two exquisite jade bottles. The moment the bottle was opened, Xing Jue recognized that it was a fourth-rank Body Refining Essence refined from the seed of a fourth-rank Immortal Herb.
Apart from these three items, there was also a letter, which was naturally left for Xing Jue by Lin Shishi.
"Xing Jue, with my talent, it is destined that I will not be able to achieve much. Now that I have reunited with my father, I no longer have the heart to cultivate, and I want to focus on alchemy.
"Now that you have entered the Reincarnation Peak, even though the cultivation resources there are incomparable to those in the Everlasting Institute, the competition there is also comparable to that in the Everlasting Institute.
"Therefore, I believe that these two bottles of Body Refining Essence will definitely be of help to you. Do not reject my good intentions, only then will I feel better, and not have the nightmare of abandoning you that day.
"This silly girl, it has been so long, and she still can't let go." After reading Lin Shishi's letter, Xing Jue's nose felt sour, and his heart was indescribably touched.
Because he did not expect that after so long, Lin Shishi still could not forget that day when they worked together to kill the Immortal Herb, and that she had abandoned him.
"You bastard …"
But at this moment, a sharp voice suddenly sounded outside the boat. Even though it was very vague in the wind, Xing Jue could still recognize that it was Tang Lian's voice.
"Whoosh."
After recognizing the voice, Xing Jue knew that something must have happened. Without hesitation, he rose into the air, broke the barrier according to Tang Lian's method, and jumped out of the mechanical boat.
After stepping out of the mechanical boat, he was deep in the air of the hurricane. At this moment, Xing Jue could only feel a strong force corroding his body, causing his strength to be greatly restricted. Moreover, the piercing sound of the wind constantly roared in his ears, making it impossible for him to determine Tang Lian's position.
Under such circumstances, Xing Jue could only close his eyes and spread out his Soul Strength in order to find Tang Lian's whereabouts.
When he heard Tang Lian's voice again, his expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly flew in the direction he sensed. But because of the hurricane, Xing Jue's speed was very slow.
At this moment, in the middle of the hurricane, a few miles away from the mechanical boat, there were two people, a man and a woman, standing in the air. The man's back was facing the woman, and he used his hand to lock her throat, subduing her.
The woman was Tang Lian, and the man was the junior who left in anger at the gathering three days ago.
"Bastard, you dare to sneak attack me. Aren't you afraid that Master will punish you?" Tang Lian shouted angrily.
It turned out that the appearance of the hurricane in the air was not a coincidence. It was condensed by the man using a Secret Treasure to stop Tang Lian's mechanical boat.
After forcing Tang Lian out of the boat, he would secretly attack her. His goal was actually very simple. He wanted to kill Xing Jue and take revenge for the humiliation he suffered that day.
"Hahaha, punish? I only want to take that brat's life. I don't really want to deal with you. "
"Do you really not care about our relationship as fellow disciples? Are you going to report me to Master because of him? "The man sneered, as if he did not believe that Tang Lian would really report him to the Elder.
"Hmph, you better let me go now. Otherwise, you'll see." Tang Lian emitted a strong killing intent.
"I really didn't expect you to fall out with me because of a brat you just met. Since that's the case, there's no need for me to care about our relationship in the past. I must kill you." After feeling Tang Lian's killing intent, the man's eyes also revealed killing intent. As he spoke, he moved his right hand, trying to suffocate Tang Lian.
"Stop, come at me if you have the guts!"
However, at this moment, a shout suddenly came from the front. Looking over, they saw a thin and weak figure standing in the hurricane not far away. It was Xing Jue.
After seeing Xing Jue, Tang Lian's expression changed greatly and she shouted loudly, "Xing Jue, run!!!"
After seeing Xing Jue, Tang Lian's expression changed greatly and she shouted loudly, "Brat, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find you.
But it was too late. A flash of light flashed by and the man appeared in front of Xing Jue in an instant. He was so fast that he could be described as a ghost.
At the same time, his strong and powerful palm had already firmly grasped Xing Jue's neck. A boundless pressure enveloped Xing Jue's body. Xing Jue could no longer move freely.
"You bastard, let him go." However, at this moment, Tang Lian, who had regained her freedom, actually followed the shadow and attacked the man. However, Tang Lian's speed was like heaven and earth compared to the man's.
"Wah ~" As expected, the man suddenly swung his arm and sent Tang Lian flying. The two of them were not on the same level at all.
"Senior, it's useless. I have a secret treasure given to me by Master. I'm not bound by the hurricane. You are no match for me right now."
"You and I are from the same sect. Why should we hurt our relationship because of a piece of trash? I'll apologize to you after I kill him!"
Suddenly, the man looked at Xing Jue with killing intent. At this moment, Xing Jue could also feel that the man's palm was closing with great force. At this moment, he could no longer breathe and even felt a fatal threat.
"You want to kill him? I'm afraid that the Master who gave you the secret treasure will only be sending himself to his death if he comes here! "However, at this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded behind Xing Jue.
At the same time, an old hand silently appeared on the man's wrist. At this moment, the man's expression changed greatly and fear appeared on his face.
