Three years was just a blink of an eye for a cultivator who had reached the Path Seeking Realm.
In the past three years, among the disciples, Mu Qingxiao had remained the same as when he entered the sect. Except for Zhang Xiaofan and Hidi, the others had not changed much.
According to the rules of the Bamboo Peak, one had to chop Black Bamboo for three years. Zhang Xiaofan had finished that long ago, but he still insisted on going to the back of the mountain to cultivate every day.
In three years, Zhang Xiaofan was already 14 years old. He had grown from a weak boy to a handsome and determined young man. Because of his cultivation, his body was much stronger than before.
As for his senior sister, Hidi, she had grown from a 13-year-old girl to a 16-year-old girl. Her appearance was more beautiful than before. Her smile was indescribably beautiful.
Hidi felt that the other six senior brothers and junior brother Mu Qingxiao were much older than her, so she always liked to be with the silly Zhang Xiaofan. In the past three years, their relationship had become very close. Zhang Xiaofan naturally enjoyed it.
Mu Qingxiao, on the other hand, had nothing to do other than cultivating. In three years, his cultivation had already reached the middle of the second level of the Nascent Soul Realm. Although it was only half a realm, his strength had increased by several times.
In addition to cultivation, Mu Qingxiao spent the rest of his time looking for the Soul Catcher. In the past three years, he had almost dug three feet into the ground of the Bamboo Peak, but he still could not find the Soul Catcher.
"It seems that there is only one place left." In the past three years, Mu Qingxiao had searched all around the Bamboo Peak. Only the bamboo forest at the back of the mountain had not been carefully searched. It seemed that he had to go to the back of the mountain.
After a while, Mu Qingxiao came to the back of the mountain. Looking at the familiar bamboo forest, which was extremely spectacular, he could not help but feel relieved.
Taking a deep breath of the fresh mountain air, his figure flashed and directly rushed into the bamboo forest. In the past three years, he had often visited this place. In the early morning, a light mist floated in the forest, as if covering the bamboo forest with a layer of mysterious veil.
In the middle of the forest, there was a small bamboo path. On the green bamboo leaves on both sides, there were drops of crystal-clear dew.
A moment later, Mu Qingxiao saw a figure sitting cross-legged on a rock inside the bamboo forest, rapidly absorbing the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth.
Sensing someone approaching, Zhang Xiaofan opened his eyes. When he saw that it was Mu Qingxiao, a smile appeared on his face. "Junior Brother Mu, you haven't come to the back of the mountain for several months."
"With Senior Sister Ling 'er accompanying you, why would a man like me come here?" Mu Qingxiao's lips curled into a strange smile. "How far have you two progressed?"
Upon hearing Mu Qingxiao's teasing, Zhang Xiaofan revealed an awkward expression and said in a low voice, "Senior Sister Ling 'er.
.....
She seems to only treat me as a younger brother and has no intention of doing that. By the way, why did Junior Brother Mu come here? "
The corner of Mu Qingxiao's mouth twitched. Both of you are still little brats. What ideas can you have at this age? If this was Earth, you would have gone out to mess around. But in this era, what can you do?
"I encountered some problems in my cultivation. I heard that there are many wild spiritual herbs in the back of the mountain, so I came to see if I can find some that I can use."
"I see. Do you need my help?"
Hearing this, Mu Qingxiao shook his head slightly. "I can solve it myself. You should seize the time to cultivate. The Seven Peak Martial Arts Competition is getting closer and closer. If you can improve your cultivation, you will have a better chance of winning."
Thinking of the Seven Peak Martial Arts Competition and having to fight with the disciples of the other six peaks, Zhang Xiaofan clenched his fists, his heart filled with anticipation.
After leaving Zhang Xiaofan's cultivation area, Mu Qingxiao walked through the bamboo forest. After walking for a while, the bamboo forest path came to an end. In front of him was a sea of green bamboo. The scenery was the same in all directions.
Mu Qingxiao stood at the end of the bamboo forest path. Most of the Black Bamboo here were tall and luxuriant. Sunlight shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves. The mottled light shone on the ground, bringing a trace of warmth to the dark bamboo forest.
The Black Bamboo here was extremely tall and several times thicker than the ones outside. If Zhang Xiaofan had been here to chop them, he probably wouldn't have been able to chop them off.
Mu Qingxiao plucked a leaf and gently tossed it. With a crisp sound, the thick Black Bamboo broke.
Sure enough, the Black Bamboo in the outer region couldn't compare to the Black Bamboo here in terms of hardness.
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, there was the sound of wind breaking. Mu Qingxiao raised his hand and casually pinched the hard object between his two fingers.
His gaze fell on his hands. It was actually a pine cone. There were Black Bamboo all around him. There were many bamboo shoots, and the range of his divine sense was also the same. However, there was absolutely no pine tree. So where did the pine cone come from?
Looking in the direction of the pine cone, he saw a small grey-haired monkey standing on a Black Bamboo several dozen meters away. It was holding several pine cones in its hand and its tail was hanging upside down on a bamboo branch. Its mouth was letting out a squeaky laugh.
The moment he saw the small grey-haired monkey, Mu Qingxiao's mouth curved into a smile. It seemed that he had found the right person. The Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey!
After being attacked by the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey, Mu Qingxiao didn't get angry. Instead, he took out a bottle of red wine from the storage space.
The storage space's capacity was already more than 300 square meters. Naturally, Mu Qingxiao wouldn't let the space go to waste. He had stored a lot of food and wine from Earth in case of emergency.
According to the information, this little monkey seemed to like drinking. The red wine in Mu Qingxiao's hand couldn't be bought on the market. He had brought it back from Old Master Qin Zheng's house in the capital. He hadn't been willing to drink it. He didn't expect that it would come in handy now.
Taking off the bottle cap, the rich aroma of the wine immediately filled the air. The Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey took a deep sniff and immediately inhaled a wisp of wine fragrance into its nose. Its three eyes rolled together as it pretended to be puzzled. Obviously, it had never come into contact with this kind of thing before.
It was effective. Mu Qingxiao smiled slightly. He placed the whole bottle of red wine on the ground and retreated several dozen meters away.
Seeing that Mu Qingxiao had retreated, the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey turned its head and directly threw away the pine cone. It followed the aroma of the wine to the place where he was just standing. It held the bottle of red wine with both hands and sniffed it. Then, it looked at Mu Qingxiao vigilantly.
After several dozen seconds, it realized that he didn't seem to have any evil intentions. Only then did it slowly put the bottle to its mouth and take a sip.
The Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey put down the bottle as the wine entered its mouth. It chewed and chewed. Suddenly, it was very happy. Obviously, it liked the taste very much. It couldn't help but let out a "Zhi Zhi" sound.
Licking its monkey lips, the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey hugged the whole bottle in its arms. Its small body leaned against the black bamboo. It didn't care about Mu Qingxiao anymore and directly raised its head to drink big mouthfuls.
Looking at its appearance, Mu Qingxiao's mouth twitched. This monkey knew how to enjoy more than he did!
