Lin Xiu helped the old man up and said with some embarrassment, "Actually, this matter started because of me. If I can't solve it properly, I will feel guilty."
The old man leaned on his walking stick and walked away without saying a word.
Lin Xiu didn't look at it anymore and sat down cross-legged, entering into a state of cultivation.
That day, in order to reawaken the giant dragon, he had used up almost all of his bloodline power. After recuperating for the past few days, although the feeling of weakness had mostly subsided, the bloodline power was completely dormant. No matter how hard Lin Xiu tried, it was of no use.
Although he was very distressed, there was nothing he could do at the moment. Lin Xiu could only temporarily suppress his irritated thoughts and focus on cultivating his elemental energy.
It had been more than half a year since his strength reached the peak of the initial stage of the Earth Yuan Realm. Although he didn't slack off on his cultivation, the tempering between life and death was too little. As newlyweds, Lin Xiu and Yang Yingxi spent all day together and the string in his heart gradually loosened.
Cultivation was like rowing a boat against the current, if one didn't advance, they would fall behind.
Lin Xiu urgently wanted to have a big battle so that he could master all kinds of skills and improve his battle awareness.
Perhaps this time, the Black Demon Sect's revenge would be a good opportunity. Therefore, not only was Lin Xiu not afraid in the slightest, but he was also looking forward to the Black Demon Sect's visit.
Night fell, but there were no stars in the sky. Instead, dark clouds covered the sky and it was possible that it would rain at any time.
The villagers on the ground had gradually adapted to the process of the blood essence being forcefully injected into their bodies and it was no longer as strenuous. Beads of sweat continued to fall from the top of their heads, but the screams had become much weaker.
Lin Xiu saw that it was about time. With a wave of his hand, he kept the Blood Spirit Pearl and stood quietly at the side, waiting for the villagers to wake up.
After about a quarter of an hour, the first villager finally woke up. He looked at himself. His body was now a full size bigger than before, and he became wild with joy.
Just as he was about to howl to the sky to express the joy in his heart, Lin Xiu made a gesture to him to keep quiet.
"Don't make so much noise, the others haven't woken up yet." Lin Xiu said softly to this person.
The man approached Lin Xiu and thanked him from the bottom of his heart, "Brother Lin, I will never forget your help. My name is Li Hu, if you have any orders in the future, I will definitely obey."
Lin Xiu smiled and saw that this young man named Li Hu would glance at the village from time to time.
"I guess you can't wait any longer. Why don't you hurry back to the village and have a good time with your wife?"
Li Hu touched his head and smiled awkwardly. He cupped his fists at Lin Xiu and immediately headed home.
Most of the people woke up one after another and did the same thing as Li Hu. After Lin Xiu's reminder, they all quietly dispersed.
The last one to wake up was Er Zhuang. His Qi and blood were much stronger than the other villagers, so the process of reconstructing his body was even more difficult.
What surprised Lin Xiu was that Er Zhuang was the one who could endure the most. He was in so much pain, but he didn't make a sound throughout the entire process and silently endured all the torment.
There were only two people left. Lin Xiu had already learned from the village chief that Er Zhuang's parents died early and that he and his younger brother depended on each other since young, so he didn't rush Er Zhuang like the others.
Lin Xiu took out a jar of wine from his space ring and poured it for the two of them. He said softly to Er Zhuang, "Only when you are strong can you protect the things you care about. Er Zhuang, I will be leaving here soon, I hope you can take up the responsibility of protecting the village. "
Er Zhuang took the wine cup and drank it in one gulp. He then clicked his tongue and said with some unsatiation, "This is my root. If anyone wants to invade the village, they have to step over my dead body first."
"I realized that you are very talented in the path of Qi and blood. I believe that if you work hard, you will be able to achieve something in the future. It's a pity that my technique may not be suitable for you in the cultivation of Qi and blood. You can only rely on your own luck in the future. "Lin Xiu's words were filled with regret.
The thousand-layer body refinement technique was too violent for the cultivation of elemental energy. Although the tempering of the physical body was also very important, with Er Zhuang's current strength, if he forced himself to cultivate it, he would definitely be squeezed into minced meat by the violent elemental energy.
Lin Xiu's talent was outstanding. Even so, if it wasn't for Lord Feng Huo's suppression, he wouldn't have been able to successfully cultivate the thousand-layer body refinement technique. What's more, Er Zhuang was just an ordinary person.
Er Zhuang poured himself another cup of wine and then poured it into his mouth. He vaguely said, "Big Brother Lin, I'm already satisfied. In the past, we didn't even have the strength to truss a chicken. Facing the oppression of the Black Demon Sect, we could only choose to meekly accept it. But now, with your help, our village has the strength to protect itself. What else can we not be satisfied with?"
Lin Xiu was very appreciative of his mentality.
The reason why warriors could go further on the path of cultivation was because of the persistence in their hearts and the desire for strength.
But if warriors were blinded by money and benefits, there would be too much greed in their hearts and it would create the illusion of being arrogant. Then, cultivation would come to an end and there would be no possibility of improvement.
"Alright, you should hurry back so that your brother can be at ease. Previously, when you were cultivating, he ran back and forth many times." Lin Xiu urged Er Zhuang.
Er Zhuang chuckled. At the mention of his brother, his face was filled with a doting expression.
"Alright, then you should hurry back and rest. I'll go home and see how that little brat is doing.
...
Dark clouds covered the sky, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled. The entire sky was pitch-black and it looked exceptionally suffocating.
Lin Xiu's ears suddenly twitched, then he quietly went far away in the night.
Not far away from the village, there was a group of people with their faces covered, quietly discussing something.
With Lin Xiu's strength, they naturally wouldn't notice him when he got close to them.
"I heard that this time, the Black Demon Sect's envoy suffered a setback in Li Family Village and even his cultivation was directly abolished by that person. Later, we will sneak into the village and must not alert the enemy, otherwise, there will be a disaster." The leader lowered his voice and instructed his companions.
The others silently nodded their heads, eager to give it a try in their eyes.
These people were all from the neighboring village. This time, the Black Demon Sect came to collect taxes and gave their village a death mission.
Although the village was rich, how could the Black Demon Sect ask for an exorbitant price? The villagers were really helpless, so they chose to take the risk in Li Family Village to see if they could plunder some property.
Lin Xiu suddenly revealed his figure and smiled at the frightened men in black in front of him.
"Now that you are also people who are being squeezed, I won't argue with you this time. Quickly go back to your respective villages."
"Who the hell are you, kid?" One of the men in black shouted at Lin Xiu, but before he could finish speaking, he was pulled by the corner of his clothes by his companions.
The leader took a step forward and said to Lin Xiu in a clear voice, "We really had no choice. Since we were discovered, we are not skilled enough. We will go back now."
Looking at their distant figures, Lin Xiu's eyes flashed with killing intent.
"Black Demon Sect, you guys are really rampant."
