The stolen magic is a bit magical

Qingmen is one of the current Nine Gates.

It is also the most mysterious of all.

People don't even know why it's listed among the Nine Gates.

The other eight sects each have their own unique skills, but this one doesn't even have a unique skill known to anyone.

"You only paid attention to the sect's name, but did you pay attention to a specific time?" Lin Xiaosu asked mysteriously.

"Time? What time?" Zhang Tao was stunned.

“Cui Hao said that before the beginning of last year, he was just a pure scholar, but now he has already reached the pinnacle of understanding the heavens!” Lin Xiaosu said, “From the time you were introduced to the cultivation path by this Taoist priest until now, it has only been a year and a half. What level of cultivation have you reached in the year and a half you have been cultivating?”

Zhang Tao's expression changed.

In just a year and a half, what level of cultivation can one achieve?
He came from a family with extensive learning, had the backing of a sect, countless famous teachers, and exceptional talent. However, his Blood Tower was only completed after three years of cultivation.

This Cui Hao, after a year and a half of cultivation, had already reached the pinnacle of the Heavenly Realm.

Even more incredibly, his master only spoke three words each day.

If one follows the general practice routines taught by the master, even a single cultivation manual might not be enough to explain everything in a hundred years.

How was this repaired?

"I am very curious to know how this Taoist priest managed to cultivate a scholar with an mediocre foundation into a master of 'Seeking the Heavens' in just one and a half years. This is the task that Cui Hao is undertaking, and this task is much more important than serving as my personal attendant."

Zhang Tao was truly impressed: "My lord, I heard everything Cui Hao said, not a single word was missing, but you were able to hear the most important information. You are truly a genius sent from heaven, unmatched in the entire Great Wilderness."

"Alright, alright, stop praising me!" Lin Xiaosu said, "The flattery field is extremely competitive, and you're simply not cut out for it."

Zhang Tao was stunned and scratched his head.

It's actually quite adorable that such a shrewd and capable captain of the guards would scratch his head like that.

Lin Xiaosu laughed heartily, and Zhang Tao laughed too.

With that smile, the two seemed to have entered a new realm, showing a certain intimacy.

With a whoosh, the mad wolf came flying through the air, carrying a huge box in its hands.

This box is neither made of gold nor wood, but of the skin of a strange beast called "Kongming". The skin of Kongming has its own spatial laws, and when made into a box, the interior space is like a giant house.

"My lord, this is the wealth confiscated from the Dongxuan Sect. As you instructed, we have distributed 100 units of waste gold to each soldier, along with 4.7 million units of waste gold and countless gold and jewels," said Mad Wolf.

“Alright, this is the first reward we can give to His Majesty. We can’t be careless. Captain Zhang, please make the trip back to the capital yourself.” Lin Xiaosu said.

"Yes!" Zhang Tao accepted the order.

He took the huge box.

Mad Wolf said, "My lord, you only reported three million to His Majesty. There are four million seven hundred thousand in this box. Why don't you take some for yourself?"

This is a common practice in officialdom.

Having rendered great service and reaped a large amount of spoils, the chief officer took a portion for himself, and the remainder went into the public account.

Everyone is used to it.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

Lin Xiaosu shook her head: "What would I do with so much money? I won't take a single penny, just hand it all over!"

Mad Wolf took a deep breath: "Your Excellency's noble character and integrity are truly admirable. In the entire Great Wilderness officialdom, there is probably no one else with such character as you."

Zhang Tao spoke up: "Alright, alright, Mad Wolf, stop flattering me. This track is incredibly crowded; you're simply not cut out for this..."

Mad Wolf stared in disbelief: "Sir, Captain Zhang, he..."

Hahahaha...

Lin Xiaosu laughed heartily, Zhang Tao also laughed heartily, and it was Kuanglang's turn to scratch his head.

Zhang Tao returned to the capital overnight with He Zhang and 4.7 million taels of silver.

Lin Xiaosu finally returned to her room.

As soon as they returned to the room, Fufu closed the door, and then, with a leap, he climbed up and climbed onto Lin Xiaosu's back.

As he lay there, Lin Xiaosu's back felt as if it had been soaked in strong liquor, and he heard her voice in his ear: "Brother Su, you're amazing today."

In what aspects are they strong?

“He’s amazing everywhere, amazing in cultivation, amazing in officialdom, amazing in everything. My Su-gege is the most amazing man in the world… Hmm, Su-gege, touch my sixth spiritual tail, it’s growing up quickly.”

"I saw it! It's swaying on the battlefield."

"Touch it..."

"There's really no need to touch it."

Fu Fu stopped talking. Lin Xiaosu observed with her primordial spirit that the girl's little mouth was pouting, indicating that she was unhappy.

My God, touch that spirit tail root.

Where is the Spirit Tail? Is it easy to touch?

Touching will always lead you astray, and once you stray, your heart will stray too. You little girl, don't you know how alluring you are to men, being a fox spirit?

Lin Xiaosu pulled her from his back into his arms, kissed her lips, smoothed out her pouty little mouth, and then began to coax her in her ear: "Fufu, you are so cute and charming. Even this handsome guy can't help but want to touch you while holding you. I really don't dare to play games in the most fun place, really."

"Who told you to hold back? You can move whenever you want..."

"If I don't touch you, your sixth spirit tail won't grow until then. Don't you think the seventh, eighth, and ninth ones are something to look forward to?"

Fu Fu took a deep breath, calming down her excitement: "It seems so."

"So, on this trip to Jiangnan, we'll focus on the upper body, and avoid touching the lower body as much as possible."

"Hmm...okay...Brother Su, I'll get you some food and drinks. Once you've eaten, I'll take off all my clothes, and you can have some fun..."

After saying that, he jumped down.

I've gone to get the food and drinks.

Lin Xiaosu ate a meal and drank some wine, symbolically participated in some entertainment, and then very "virtuous" went into seclusion.

This seclusion wasn't just because he didn't dare to continue playing with her; there was at least another consideration, which was... cultivation.

The Yuan Crystals he brought out from the Dongxuan Sect were already bouncing around in his secret realm, his entire body agape with countless large and small mouths, already itching for more...

With a thought, Lin Xiaosu sent the Yuan Crystal into the spatial turbulence.

It shattered instantly with a "poof".

The energy flowed straight down and entered the Gate of Creation, which immediately activated, allowing the pure energy to enter his chakra.

Lun Hai has already absorbed the dragon pill given to him by Hu Ji last time, and it looks like it's almost full.

However, with the influx of new energy, Lin Xiaosu realized that there was a false impression in his body that "his Sea of ​​Wheels was almost full." The first batch of Yuan Crystals, twenty or thirty in total, were transformed by the Gate of Creation and turned into a torrent that poured into his Sea of ​​Wheels. His Sea of ​​Wheels rippled slightly, but the change was not significant.

Holy crap, they can eat so much!

Have you ever seen anyone whose Sea of ​​Wheels can instantly absorb and refine dozens of Yuan Crystals without any ripples?
The key point is that these elemental crystals are all of good quality, with the lowest grade being the level of Earthly Beast Crystals.

If calculated based on the fact that the Yuan Crystal gathers 70% of the ferocious beast's total energy, it's equivalent to absorbing the energy of more than a dozen earth-falling beasts in one go, yet it only stirred up a tiny ripple in his Sea of ​​Wheels.

It seems that it was still because of the dragon pill given to him by Hu Ji. The dragon is a level 5 ferocious beast, while the earth beast is only level 3. His sea of ​​consciousness has experienced the level 5, so he is not very sensitive to the level 3.

No problem, if the quality isn't good enough, we'll make up for it with quantity!
With a thought, Lin Xiaosu sent hundreds of elemental crystals flying up and entering the turbulent current.

The energy of the Gate of Creation finally transformed into a torrent.

The Lun Hai incident has finally stirred up a huge wave.

Come again!

The third batch: three hundred elemental crystals!
His ship was churning with waves, and finally showed signs of overflowing.

The fourth batch, another three hundred!
The sea of ​​yin energy was finally full and began to overflow throughout the body.

Once it entered the body, the exact same scene as when I practiced the Dragon Pill appeared.

The energy from the Sea of ​​Wheels plunged into every cell of the body, and the pressure instantly plummeted.

Lin Xiaosu was now truly horrified.

At first, he thought that his saccharine sea was ten times larger than that of an ordinary person, which was naturally the biggest pitfall on the road to breaking through the barrier. Because he had studied geometry, he knew that a saccharine sea with a diameter ten times larger could have a water volume that was not ten times larger, but hundreds or thousands of times larger (calculated as a circle or a square)!
Unexpectedly, he was wrong; the most problematic thing was actually his entire body's cells.

Most practitioners cultivate the main tendons and meridians, which connect to the chakras, thus forming the driving force of their practice.

His micro-meridians had been opened, connecting all his cells. In this way, it was no longer a few highways, but rivers that spread throughout his body. Filling these rivers completely would be an extraordinary undertaking.

A thousand elemental crystals shattered easily, two thousand, three thousand...

Lin Xiaosu felt numb as she watched the Yuan Crystals dwindle.

No wonder people say that it's difficult for a child from a poor family to achieve greatness.

Xiao Zong can't support the growth of a super genius.

This is true, because the resources required for a super genius to break through a barrier are truly unimaginable...

same night.

Two hundred miles away, the sect leader and seven elders are also numb!

This is the Eight Plates Sect.

The Eight Plates Sect is not located within Fuyao Prefecture, but rather in Linjiang Prefecture, which is adjacent to Fuyao.

They are exactly the same as the Dongxuan Sect of Fuyou Prefecture.

It's unclear whether Bapan copied Dongxuan's work or Dongxuan copied Bapan's work, but the rise time, path to rise, and development path of the two sects are all very similar.

Therefore, the two schools of thought share a strong sense of resonance.

Su Lin went to Jiangnan via either Fuyao or Linjiang Prefecture; these were the only two routes.

They had even speculated about where the unfortunate boy would enter Jiangnan from.

Yesterday, they received news that Su Lin had entered through Fuyao.

Upon hearing this news, the clan elders joked that the Dongxuan Sect was indeed luckier, having dealt a heavy blow to the court's prestige and making their sect's reputation even more prominent in Jiangnan. Whether these words were genuine envy or just casual banter since it didn't concern them was another matter.

The key is that things change quickly.

The news arrived in the morning, and as the sun set, new news came: the entire Dongxuan Sect had been wiped out!
Upon hearing this news, Li Daxiu, the sect leader of the Eight Plates Sect, suddenly stood up!

All seven top elders of the sect have emerged from seclusion!
In just a moment, they gathered in front of the sect leader, and everyone's face showed strong disbelief.

"Sect Master, is this matter... is this true?" the Second Elder, who had just emerged from seclusion, asked.

The sect leader nodded slowly, his face so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip with green water.

The Grand Elder slowly turned around: "The news is absolutely true. The four great masters of enlightenment, the three hundred and sixty enlightenment gods, and more than a thousand enlightenment realm cultivators of the Dongxuan Sect have all perished in battle. All seven hundred and sixty thousand disciples of the sect have had their cultivation abolished. Dongxuan... has been wiped out of the martial arts world!"

"How could this be? He... he only led a town-level battle team!" The Second Elder's lips trembled.

"That's right! A Zhen-level team could not possibly wipe out Dongxuan. What methods did they use?" the Seventh Elder asked.

The Third Elder slowly raised his head: "Elders, please do not forget one thing: the 'Dragon Riders' of yesteryear! Zhen Tian Pavilion was known as the 'Last Dragon Riders'."

Dragon Rider!

This term seems to possess some kind of magical power.

Just those two words seem to be enough to intimidate anyone.

Because of this name, it was once the longest-lasting shadow hanging over the more than 800 sects in the Great Wilderness.

At the beginning of the founding of the Great Wilderness Kingdom, there were more than three thousand sects.

The Great Wilderness Dragon Riders swept across the land, decimating over three thousand sects to the point that only a fraction remained.

Three thousand years is not a particularly long time span, and many people have witnessed the unparalleled might of the dragon riders.

Later, through the scheme of the Heart Sect, the major sects joined forces, and the traitors in the imperial court cooperated to create the "Southern Chu Incident," the "Soaring Dragon Incident," and the "Ancestral Mausoleum Injustice." A million dragon riders were forced to the opposite side of the royal family. Four hundred years ago, with the death of the last dragon rider commander in Dragon City, the shadow of the dragon riders hanging over the Great Wilderness finally came to an end.

However, some say that the Great Wilderness Dynasty actually still retains a Dragon Rider force, which remains in the Zhen Tian Pavilion.

Could it be that the rumor is actually true?
Could it be that the Zhen-level team that Lin Xiaosu brought out this time is actually the "Dragon Riders" disguised as a "Zhentian Pavilion Zhen-level team"?
Only this explanation makes sense.

Only the former Dragon Riders had the strength to wipe out the Dongxuan Sect in half a day.

If it is indeed the reappearance of the Dragon Rider, then the entire Jiangnan region will be on high alert.

Sect Leader Li Daxiu's eyelids twitched...

"Investigate immediately!" the Grand Elder ordered. "Find out right now whether they are indeed the former Dragon Riders!"

Su Lin is currently in Fuyao, only two hundred miles away from Linjiang Prefecture. His next stop will definitely be their Bapan Sect. They must clearly know what kind of power they used to destroy Dongxuan in order to formulate a countermeasure.

If it really is the rebirth of the Dragon Knight, then all previous contingency plans must be completely overturned.

This Su Lin came to the Eight Pan Sect, and he has to give them whatever they want!

We must never invite the calamity of the extinction of our clan.

Suddenly, a faint voice came from the sky: "You all worry too much! The Dragon Riders of yesteryear have long since vanished into thin air. Even if they still exist, they are the antithesis of the dynasty and would never be used by it again. The Zhen Tian Pavilion's claim that they are the last Dragon Riders is nothing more than a declaration to intimidate the world!"

With that sound, a figure appeared as if floating out of thin air in the Eight-Plate Council Hall.

This is an old man dressed in gray clothes, whose face is completely obscured.

His sudden appearance in the sect's important territory, with none of the elders knowing how he got there, indicates that this person's cultivation is extraordinary, and he must be a late-stage Enlightenment Realm expert of the same level as the sect leader.

Sect Leader Li Daxiu rose from his seat: "Mr. Ye Jun!"

"Sect Leader Li!"

The elders' hearts skipped a beat; it turned out he was Ye Jun.

"Night King" means the king of the night.

He is a mysterious figure in the cultivation world of Jiangnan. On the surface, he does not belong to any sect, but he is a guest of honor in all the major sects.

The elders suspected he was a member of the Heart Gate, but they lacked direct evidence.

"Mr. Ye Jun said that the troops that annihilated the Dongxuan Sect were not the Dragon Riders?"

"Yes! I am the most qualified to speak on the matter of the Dragon Riders. I dare to assure the world that under the Great Wilderness Emperor's banner, there will be no more Dragon Riders!"

Li Daxiu's eyes flickered: "What kind of power is that that annihilates the Profound Cave? Is it a Royal Dao Enforcer?"

If not a Dragon Rider, then it can only be a Daoist.

The royal family has its own code of conduct. For example, the head of the Hidden Dragon Guard is a code of conduct, as are the Four Elders of Zhentian. Huo Gang, the Grand Commander of the Forbidden Palace, is not a code of conduct but is more like one...

However, there is a consensus among all sects that in domestic disputes, the Daoist path must not be used to actively attack sects that have not reached the Daoist realm—except in cases of passive response or legitimate self-defense.

Otherwise, it would be against the harmony of Heaven and violate the correct principles of the Way that those who uphold the Way receive from Heaven.

This is the tacit understanding among the Daoists of the Great Wilderness.

How do we understand this?

The core principles of modern society are similar to this.

Those who uphold the Way are the nuclear weapons of this world.

As soon as the sect leader asked this question, one name automatically came to mind for all the elders: Huo Gang!

Huo Gang is a very special person.

He is a practitioner of divine magic, not a Daoist, but he possesses the methods of a Daoist.

Such a person perfectly transcends the "tacit understanding of those who uphold the Way".

Therefore, he was able to directly attack the Heart Pavilion, which had no Dao Bearers stationed there, and he was able to attack the Swallowing Cloud Temple, which was rumored to have no Dao Bearers.

Because he is not a follower of the Dao, he can attack sects without following the Dao.

Therefore, this is the true favorite of His Majesty the Great Wilderness Emperor.

Ye Jun slowly shook his head: "The old emperor doesn't dare to break the tacit understanding among the Dao Holders, nor does he dare to let Huo Gang leave his side for a long time. What annihilated the Dongxuan Sect was not a Dao Holder or Huo Gang, but a set of formations!"

"A formation?" Everyone looked up at the same time, their faces filled with excitement.

"Indeed, this formation is integrated into the military formation, with the military flag as the base. It seems to be a Yin-Yang formation system, which can completely suppress a person's cultivation. It is because of this formation that the Dongxuan Sect fell into his trap." Ye Jun said, "This thief won the first battle and is full of pride. He will definitely take Bapan in the second battle. I ask you, the lords of Bapan, do you dare to face his edge?"

The Grand Elder stepped forward: "My Eight Plates Sect is the number one array formation sect in Jiangnan. How could we fear a single array formation? Even if there are ten, eight, a hundred, or a thousand array formations, they are nothing before my sect!"

"The First Elder is absolutely right!" the Second Elder said with a smile. "I look forward to his arrival at the Eight Plates Sect tomorrow!"

Ye Jun turned to Sect Master Li Daxiu: "Sect Master Li, your sect is recognized as the number one sect in the field of array formations in Jiangnan. Your Eight Pan Ancient Array is famous throughout the world. Today, a brat from outside the realm has come to bully you. Do you intend to submit to the sect in the field of array formations?"

Li Daxiu suddenly stood up: "Mr. Ye Jun, why provoke me with words? Since this thief won by using formations, the Eight Plates Sect will surely tell him what the orthodox formations are!"

"In that case... farewell!" As soon as Ye Jun finished speaking, he suddenly disappeared into thin air.

Come without a trace, go without a trace.

The elders exchanged glances, and the Seventh Elder slowly said, "This Lord Ye is suspected of using my Eight Plates Sect."

"I can see that too!" the sect leader said. "However, this concerns the dignity of the array formation and the glory of the Eight Plates. Even if it's just a provocation, our sect must still uphold the reputation of the array formation!"

"Yes!" all the elders replied in unison.

"Prepare the Eight Ancient Formations!" the sect leader said. "No step can be overlooked."

The next day.

early morning.

Sunlight streamed through the window and shone onto Lin Xiaosu's nose.

His eyes slowly opened.

There was a hint of joy in his eyes, but also a hint of fear.

The joy stemmed from the fact that he had achieved a miracle that no cultivator could ever accomplish: in one night, he refined and absorbed the entire foundation of a major sect: tens of thousands of Yuan Crystals.

What terrified him was that he felt he had become a monster.

Such terrifying energy entered his body, yet he still wasn't filled.

He could hardly imagine what a terrifying existence he would be when he truly broke through to the Enlightenment Realm.

Not to mention that his true essence is unimaginable.

His physical body is equally unimaginable.

Sunlight streamed through the window, hitting the tip of his nose. He gently raised his hand, extending it into the sunlight.

This hand, seemingly without any abnormality, even more perfect and delicate than before, however, when he gently clenched his fist, he clearly sensed the air around his fist surging erratically, faintly indicating that Huo Gang was about to make a move.

He knew very well that Huo Gang possessed the body of a god or demon.

He followed the path of physical immortality, and his attainments were unparalleled in the entire Great Wilderness—excluding, of course, those unknown monsters.

Although he is not a Realm Master, he can easily crush a Realm Master.

Of course, Xuan Kong was the one who held the power of the realm, and he slaughtered him like a chicken.

Such a top expert is unimaginable to anyone. Lin Xiaosu, after being baptized by tens of thousands of Yuan Crystals, had his true essence fill 80% of his body's chakras and cells. The scraps of Yuan Crystals, after being transformed by the Gate of Creation, strengthened his physical body, and his physical body even had a trace of Huo Gang's.

This is horrible.

His gaze shifted to the bed.

The view from the bed at this moment is a million times more beautiful than the view from the window.

After watching for a while, Lin Xiaosu couldn't resist and went over to greet Fufu, letting go of her inhibitions and being completely open with her.

Fu Fu woke up and felt his touch; she was overjoyed.

In her mind, if a man isn't lewd in front of her, it means he's a failure as a woman; the more lewd a man is, the happier she is.

When she was happy, she would lean in and kiss him. Once she got close, she couldn't stop kissing him. When she couldn't stop, she would pant and say, "Brother Su, touch the base of my tail. I think the sixth one has grown up. Really, I'm not lying to you."

"Really? So fast?" Lin Xiaosu, skeptical, decided to verify it.

In this verification, the finger, as usual, went astray... (End of Chapter)
