The forest was dense, the shadows of the trees were heavy, the fog was blurry, and the autumn wind was rustling.
Hsieh Ming-chin, who was trying his best to rush out of the dense forest, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Behind him were seven attendants from the Xie residence. The attendants were orphans that were adopted by the Xie residence since they were young, or the descendants of elders who had worked in the Xie residence for generations.
If they were talented in cultivation when they were young, they would be given inner energy cultivation techniques. Nevertheless, their cultivation achievements were limited. Those who were able to reach the seventh layer of inner energy were already remarkable.
This was not only because of their talent and cultivation techniques, but also because cultivation resources were limited, so they could not be concentrated on them.
Nevertheless, the attendants that were trained through this method were mostly loyal to the Xie residence, and could be said to be suicide soldiers. It was far more reassuring than those diners who were attracted by money and power.
When they saw Hsieh Ming-chin stop, the oldest of the attendants, who was in his forties, cupped his fist and said, "Eldest Young Master, you can't stay here for long. Please leave quickly."
Hsieh Ming-chin's eyes flickered with a peculiar luster, and he asked in a deep voice, "Xie Mingsan, tell me honestly, why did father go there?"
The middle-aged attendant, Xie Mingsan, was startled, then he smiled bitterly and said, "Eldest Young Master, since Master has already decided, you should ignore it and leave quickly."
Hsieh Ming-chin glared at him and said, "If that's the case, father didn't go there to recruit that person, but to hold back the long-armed raccoon?"
Xie Mingsan pursed his lips and did not say a word.
Hsieh Ming-chin scoffed angrily and turned to leave. Xie Mingsan quickly stopped him and said, "Eldest Young Master, you can't go back, or Second Master's efforts will be in vain."
A fierce killing intent flashed in Hsieh Ming-chin's eyes as he said, "Xie Mingsan, you're an attendant that was handpicked by my father. Are you going to watch him die without doing anything?"
Xie Mingsan shook his head slightly. He met Hsieh Ming-chin's gaze calmly, without any intention of avoiding it. "First Young Master, please calm down. Master is right. If you go, you will only be a burden to him. If you stay away, Master will have a much better chance of escaping safely. "
Hsieh Ming-chin said coldly, "What if my father doesn't come back?"
"That won't happen." Xie Mingsan shook his head resolutely. "I believe in Master. He will definitely come back."
Pausing for a moment, he slowly said, "If Master really doesn't come back, then I will personally enter the mountain and challenge these two long-armed raccoons."
Everyone was stunned and immediately understood what he meant. With his mere Stage Seven Internal Force, it would be suicidal for him to challenge the two long-armed raccoons on the mountain.
If Xie Nuanyi really couldn't come back, he wouldn't live alone!
Hsieh Ming-chin rolled his eyes and relaxed. He said, "Alright, I'll do as you wish …" As he said this, he suddenly exerted force on his feet and bypassed Xie Mingsan, rushing back in the direction he came from.
The seven attendants were all pale. One of them asked, "What should we do?"
Xie Mingsan moved and followed behind him. At the same time, he said, "Go after him."
The seven attendants chased after him at the same time, but they all had different thoughts in their minds.
Although Hsieh Ming-chin was a young master, he had a forthright attitude that was completely different from that of an aristocratic family's son. Moreover, the way he dealt with things was somewhat of a matter-of-fact. If he was born in an ordinary family, it wouldn't be a problem. However, being born in an aristocratic family with thousands of years of history, it might not be a good thing.
Xie Nuanyi had brought Hsieh Ming-chin into the dense forest to teach him the law of the jungle. However, it seemed that the change was not successful.
At the end of the day, the young master still didn't care about the big picture. He knew that he would only be a burden to them, but he still refused to leave.
Having such a master, even the seven attendants, who had already sold their lives to the Xie family, felt extremely angry and exhausted.
Although the seven of them had the same level of internal strength as the young master, the skills they had learned were far inferior. In particular, Hsieh Ming-chin's lightness skills, which were inherited from his father, were far beyond their reach. Fortunately, Hsieh Ming-chin's experience was shallow. From time to time, he had to stop to identify the direction. Otherwise, they would have been left far behind.
Xie Mingsan and the others were still anxious in the beginning, but in the end, they calmed down.
When they first encountered the long-armed raccoon, they already knew that they were going to die. Now, they were just delaying it a little.
A group of eight people finally came out from behind a big tree. At first glance, they saw the open space and the strange scene on the open space.
※ ※ ※
He Yiming's whole mind was still immersed in the blade. The twelfth form of the Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms that he had used all his strength to activate had actually triggered some kind of power in the void. This kind of power from nature was magical and mysterious, and its power was unpredictable.
He clearly knew that although the power of the blade was great, it was still insufficient to cut off the two arms and kill the two spirit beasts on the spot.
The reason why it could exert such a great power was that the last blow had triggered some kind of power between heaven and earth, resulting in such a magical effect.
With one blade, two spirit beasts were killed. This was definitely the power of the Xiantian realm.
However, this blade was also the result of He Yiming's momentum accumulated through the Rolling Stone Swordsmanship after fighting for a long time, and finally used the Xiantian swordsmanship to erupt in an instant.
That blade contained not only the power of the Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms, but also the power of the Rolling Stone Swordsmanship. It was because of the combination of the two that it was able to trigger the mysterious Qi of Heaven and Earth.
If He Yiming had used the twelfth form of the Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms at the beginning, then it would have been impossible to exert such a great power.
However, because the power of this move exceeded the limit of the Houtian realm, it triggered some kind of magical reaction from the Xiantian Qi. That trace of Xiantian power was channeled into the blade and killed the two spirit beasts on the spot.
That blade that exceeded He Yiming's expectations allowed him to feel the Qi of Heaven and Earth for the first time. For a Houtian practitioner, this was a rare and magical experience. For a moment, He Yiming's mind was lost, and he was completely immersed in that moment of enlightenment.
Although there was no change in the surrounding environment, He Yiming felt a strange feeling, whether it was the wind in the forest, the plants that were slightly swaying in the wind, or even the small insect world hidden among the plants that was almost unnoticed.
In his spiritual world, a virtual scene was formed. It was as if he didn't need to use his eyes to explore everything around him. Moreover, the scene that he explored was far more real and colorful than what he could see with his eyes.
He seemed to have thought of the situation when he had eavesdropped on the conversation of Xu Xiangqian and the others in the Xu Castle.
At that time, he had also used his hearing to fabricate a three-dimensional pattern in his consciousness. However, the three-dimensional pattern at that time paled in comparison to the one he was seeing now. There was no comparison at all.
Just as he was immersed in this magical feeling, he suddenly felt a murderous aura soaring to the sky. Moreover, several people quickly rushed over and appeared in his perception. With the arrival of these people, his spirit suddenly seemed to have been stimulated, and he withdrew from this magical state.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Hsieh Ming-chin and the others with a hint of hostility.
However, Hsieh Ming-chin, who was rushing over with a long sword in his hand, did not notice He Yiming. His gaze first fell on Xie Nuanyi, and he shouted uncontrollably, "Father, are you okay?"
Xie Nuanyi's face could not be any paler. He could vaguely feel He Yiming's situation just now. It was such a rare moment of enlightenment, but it was suddenly interrupted. If it had been a hot-tempered guy, he would have definitely torn them all apart to vent his anger.
With the strength He Yiming had just displayed, even if he did not use that extremely terrifying Innate-stage combat skill, he would definitely be able to easily leave the father and son here forever.
However, what he did not expect was that after He Yiming heard Xie Mingjin's cry, his expression did not show any signs of exploding. Instead, he quickly calmed down after being slightly startled.
Hsieh Ming-chin's shout evoked the familial affection in He Yiming's heart. He had left He Jia Village for a whole three months. In another two months, it would be a new year. Although he had promised his grandfather that he would return home within three years, He Yiming had long decided that he would definitely spend the new year at home.
This was the first time he had left home. Although it had only been three months, he was already very concerned about his family.
In the past, when he was in the village, he would cultivate in seclusion every day. Although it was often rare for him to see his family for a few months. However, after he left the village, he realized that the concern he had for his family was completely different.
Hsieh Ming-chin's call of 'father' had immediately touched the softest part of his heart. Naturally, he could not show his displeasure anymore.
Seeing Xie Nuanyi's pale face, Hsieh Ming-chin could not help but turn pale with fright. He quickly ran over and called out, "Father …"
Xie Mingsan and the others had also arrived. Their behavior was different from Hsieh Ming-chin's. As soon as they appeared, they surrounded the father and son and formed a basic formation. However, in the next moment, their gazes fell on the two long-armed raccoons that were half-buried in the ground. Especially when they saw the four severed arms, their expressions became extremely interesting.
Someone was actually able to sever the long-armed raccoon's famous long arms? This seemed to be beyond the scope of their imagination.
In their opinion, although the Second Elder's flexible sword was powerful, it was undoubtedly wishful thinking for him to achieve this.
The seven attendants' gazes simultaneously focused on the unimaginably huge weapon that was almost four meters long.
Under the reflection of the sun, the large glaive looked even more powerful and unbelievable.
Looking at Second Master's pale face and then looking at He Yiming's ferocious appearance, even an idiot would be able to tell who had killed the two long-armed raccoons on the ground.
Xie Nuanyi let out a long sigh of relief and felt ashamed. Her face regained a bit of color, and she said, "Brother He, Brother He, are you … okay?"
Hsieh Ming-chin and the others widened their eyes at the same time. They did not hear wrongly, did they? The Second Elder actually spoke to someone with honorifics?
Even in the Xie family, Xie Nuanyi would only use honorifics in front of her granduncle, who had been in seclusion for many years, who was at the peak of the tenth stage of inner force.
Nevertheless, when they looked at the spirit beasts that were lying in a pool of blood, they suddenly felt that it was not difficult to understand.
He Yiming smiled honestly. He twisted the handle of the glaive a few times and instantly split the glaive into three sections. Even though the glaive was split into three sections, each section was still more than a meter long. Even if he only held the first section of the glaive, it was still a fierce weapon that was eye-catching.
"Don't worry, Mister Xie, I'm fine." Ou Yangming patted his chest and casually asked, "The thing we agreed on earlier should still be counted, right?"
"What is it?" Xie Nuanyi was stunned.
He Yiming's face darkened. "If each of us deals with one of the two long-armed raccoons, we'll each get one."
Xie Nuanyi was surprised. He nodded and said, "Brother He, Brother He, since you're so generous, I must thank you."
The Xie family was the first to discover the two long-armed raccoons, but it was natural for the strong to prey on the weak in the forest. Since He Yiming was the one who killed the two long-armed raccoons, Xie Nuanyi did not expect to snatch food from the tiger's mouth. He did not expect Xie Nuanyi to abide by their verbal agreement, so one could imagine how surprised he was.
He Yiming stretched out his hand and pulled the two Long Arm Raccoons out of the ground. These two Spirit Beasts were already dead and couldn't be any more dead.
But after looking at it for a while, He Yiming felt like a mouse pulling a turtle. He didn't know how to deal with it.
Xie Nuanyi pondered for a while, then he went forward and asked, "Brother He, Brother He, are you worried about how to deal with the spirit beasts?"
"Yes." He Yiming did not hide anything. "I'd like to extract their Neidan to refine a golden pill, but I don't know how to do it."
Xie Nuanyi said sincerely, "Brother He, Brother He, the Xie family started with medicine and alchemy. We have a thousand-year heritage, but we have some shallow research in this area. If you trust us, why don't you let us handle the long-armed raccoon? We should be able to handle it in a month at most. By then, we'll return the golden pill, fur, and other items to Brother He. "
He Yiming was slightly shocked. He asked, "Mister Xie, is there anyone in the Supreme Elder's residence who knows how to refine golden pills?"
Xie Nuanyi's voice was filled with confidence. "I can guarantee you that the Xie family's success rate in refining golden pills is the highest in the Fire Crow Kingdom."
He Yiming was hesitant, but after pondering for a while, he immediately made a decision.
From his grandfather, he knew that a spirit beast's Neidan could not be directly consumed. It had to be refined into a golden pill first. Only then could it be provided to cultivators and have a strong effect in breaking through the limit.
However, refining a golden pill was not an easy task. Last time, when they obtained the Golden-crowned Python, the Neidan, it took almost half a year to prepare the supplementary precious herbs. In the end, they succeeded. According to his grandfather, the heavens had opened their eyes and blessed the He family's martial arts. That was why they were lucky enough to succeed.
In that case, the success rate of refining a golden pill was not high, and the cost was high.
However, from Xie Nuanyi's words, it was not the case at all. To be able to refine a golden pill in a month, and to be able to sound so confident, made him extremely surprised and moved.
"Sir Xie, if there's really someone in the Supreme Residence who can refine a golden pill, then I, He, am willing to give him half of the golden pill, and I don't want the other items on the long-armed raccoons."
Xie Nuanyi laughed and said, "Brother He, you're being too polite. You've already given us one of the long-armed raccoons. If we can't even do such a small thing for you, how can the Xie family still have the face to be called one of the Fire Crow Kingdom's four great clans?"
He waved his hand, and a few servants came forward. However, they did not cut open the two spirit beasts' stomachs on the spot. Instead, they collected their carcasses, especially the four broken arms, which were carefully placed together.
At that moment, Xie Nuanyi seemed to have remembered something. She turned her head and asked, "Ming Jin, didn't you leave? Why did you come back?"
Hsieh Ming-chin was instantly dumbfounded and could not speak.
Xie Mingsan went forward and said, "Second Master, First Young Master left halfway, so he must return to help you. We couldn't stop him, so please punish us. "
Xie Nuanyi looked at them a few times and finally sighed. Her voice was filled with disappointment and relief.
Hsieh Ming-chin, Xie Mingsan, and the other servants lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
Xie Nuanyi turned around and looked up. "Brother He, Brother He, I want to take a look at the two spirit beasts' nests, then I'll immediately return to refine a golden pill for you. What do you think?"
He Yiming naturally did not have any objections. Xie Nuanyi said, "Ming Jin, wait here. We'll be back soon, so don't leave."
Hsieh Ming-chin and the others naturally responded respectfully. Since the two long-armed raccoons were no longer here, with Xie Nuanyi's ability, there was naturally no other creature that could threaten her.
Xie Nuanyi's lightness skill was obviously better than He Yiming's. Of course, this was also related to the 360-kilogram heavy weapon He Yiming was carrying.
Even so, Xie Nuanyi felt a little better. If he still could not beat the young man next to him in terms of lightness skill, which he was best at, it would be difficult for him to maintain his martial arts heart at this moment.
After walking for a while, Xie Nuanyi sighed.
He Yiming asked curiously, "Mister Xie, is there something you're not satisfied with?"
Xie Nuanyi shook her head and said, "Brother He, Brother Brother He, please excuse me. I'm just worried about my son, Ming Jin."
"Brother Ming Jin?" He Yiming was surprised. "Brother Ming Jin values friendship and righteousness. He's unwilling to leave you alone, so what else is he worried about?"
Xie Nuanyi smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Brother He, Ming Jin is too emotional. He knows that he's only going to be a burden to you, but he still came regardless of everything. At present, he does value friendship and righteousness. However, if he takes over the Xie family in the future, I'm afraid that our Xie family's inheritance will end in his hands. "
He Yiming blinked twice. Although he did not agree with Xie Nuanyi's words, in his heart, he still agreed with her.
With such a character, it was not a bad thing to be a ranger, but if he wanted to take over a big family, it would not be a good thing.
However, He Yiming's heart unconsciously surged with a strong affection for Hsieh Ming-chin. However, he did not notice that after Xie Nuanyi turned her head, a strange light flashed in her eyes.
