The road is right under your feet

Chapter 143: Lake in the Forest

"Uh……"

Bai Xing sighed, "It sounds like it's not worth it. If you can buy five talismans of the same grade with the price of one elixir, will you still buy it?"

The man was stunned and thought seriously for a while, "Maybe... I think so. Amulets are good things anyway. If there is such a good thing, I will definitely be the first to buy it."

It turned out to be a problem of price, not of his talisman.

But it is understandable. Points are hard to earn. Usually, you may not get many points after completing a mission. And points are required everywhere in Taiqing Mountain. With limited choices, people will indeed prefer elixirs.

The rich and powerful disdain to buy it, and the poor and powerless cannot afford it. This is the current situation of his talisman.

"May I ask your name, senior brother?" Bai Xing said with a fist salute.

The man waved his hand and said, "Oh~ What's the point of being respectful or not? My name is Xie Sheng." He patted Bai Xing's shoulder and said, "Junior brother, you can just call me Senior Brother Xie."

Bai Xing's mouth twitched. Was he sure he wasn't taking advantage of him?

"Okay, thanks, brother."

Xie Sheng was stunned at first, then he burst into laughter, "Interesting, it's been a long time since I met a junior brother who looks so energetic and interesting. Come on, senior brother is in a good mood today, I'll take you to a feast."

As he said that, he hooked his arm around Bai Xing's neck, embraced him passionately and walked towards the door.

Bai Xing was startled, "Hey! What?"

"What are you talking about? Didn't I just tell you? Let's have a big meal!"

Bai Xing tried to pull it a few times, but it didn't move at all.

With no other options, Bai Xing could only follow his steps.

"Haha, Shirahoshi, there is a road to heaven but you don't take it, there is no door to hell but you insist on breaking in. If you stay in the C courtyard, I might not be able to do anything to you, but since you are here, I have to treat you well."

A teasing voice came from far away, and Bai Xing and Xie Sheng turned their heads almost at the same time.

Xie Sheng was one step ahead of Bai Xing, "Oh, I was wondering who it was, it turns out to be you, Wannian Lao Si. Why are you running here today instead of practicing well?"

A gloom flashed across Chen Huian's eyes, "Xie Sheng, this has nothing to do with you, get out of here if you know what's best for you."

Xie Sheng sneered, "I'm sorry, but I, your brother, can't leave. You should go and play by yourself. We won't accompany you."

As he said this, he continued walking forward with Shirahoshi and waved goodbye.

Chen Huian's face suddenly darkened, "You can't take him away today." After saying that, he suddenly pounced towards the two of them.

Xie Sheng laughed, "Unfortunately, I want to take my junior brother to a big dinner today, and you can't stop me."

A powerful wave of spiritual energy swept out from his body, and the bright green light spread all around. Countless roots broke out of the ground and attacked Chen Huian like sharp arrows.

Chen Huian's eyes darkened, and a strong wind whistled up. He relied on the powerful wind to break out of the thick rhizome forest, clasped his hands together, and muttered something.

Bai Xing only felt the sound of wind whistling past his ears, and before he could react, a tornado blew up under his feet and swept him into it.

The wind blade was like a sharp knife, scratching him painfully. Just as he was about to use his spiritual power, a thick root suddenly wrapped around his body.

Two huge forces were tearing at him, making him feel as if his body was about to be torn in half at any moment.

Everyone stopped and tried to see the situation inside through the hurricane.

"Isn't this the White Star who has become famous recently?"

"It seems to be him, what happened?"

Seeing more and more people gathered around, the two looked unhappy.

If they were discovered by the inspection committee, none of them would be able to escape.

It must be resolved quickly!

The two of them increased their bets almost at the same time.

Bai Xing felt more and more pain in his body, and breathing became more and more difficult. It was simply... unbearable!

Suddenly, lightning flashed in his eyes, and the roots on his body shattered in an instant. A huge force of thunder and lightning surrounded Bai Xing.

The two of them were stunned almost at the same time, "Concrete."

Chen Huian's expression changed unpredictably, "Thunder Concrete, I underestimated you."

He looked around and then at Bai Xing who had landed next to Xie Sheng. He knew that the opportunity was lost, so he stopped fighting and walked away on the wind.

Xie Sheng concealed the green light around him, put his hand on Bai Xing's shoulder, and said with a heroic smile: "Little Junior Brother is really good. Thunder Yuan is one of the most difficult powers to materialize, but you have comprehended and broken through in the Spiritual Journey Realm. Your future is really limitless."

"Junior brother, don't forget me when you become successful in the future." He winked at Bai Xing.

Bai Xing held his forehead with his hand. This scruffy bearded face with this expression was really...unbearable to look at.

The power of thunder was indeed difficult to control. Thinking of the fact that he had been struck by lightning in the back mountain for a full ten days, he couldn't help but trigger his muscle memory and his body trembled.

However, the effect was also very good. Under the tempering of thunder and the pressure of the cave, his physical strength finally broke through the boundary wall and entered the spiritual realm.

Of course, the strength of the physical body does not mean anything. It only means that his physical fitness is comparable to that of people in the spiritual realm.

It just has stronger resistance to attacks.

As he was speaking, Bai Xing was brought to a deep valley in the mountains.

Xie Sheng seemed to be in a hurry. He didn't seem to be taking him to a feast, but more like taking him to escape. Bai Xing asked why, but he hesitated for a long time and couldn't explain it clearly.

Going further ahead, you will see a spring surrounded by forests, the water is clear and green, and the mist is lingering, with a faint spiritual energy lingering in it.

Xie Sheng laughed before he spoke, "Haha, how is it? Isn't this place nice?"

Shirahoshi looked around and nodded, "Yes, but what does this have to do with the feast?"

Xie Sheng said mysteriously: "We'll see tonight. This feast is not ordinary."

Bai Xing nodded as if he understood, and looked up at the sky. "How about we postpone this feast to another day? I have something important to attend to, so I won't stay long."

Xie Sheng hurriedly pulled Bai Xing back, "Come on, Junior Brother, you came here by chance. It will be hard to eat after tonight."

The two of them were in a stalemate for a while, but in the end, Bai Xing couldn't refuse the kindness and was defeated.

Xie Sheng smiled with relief, said no more words, floated on the spring water, closed his eyes and meditated.

Seeing this, Bai Xing followed and sat cross-legged on the other side.

As soon as Bai Xing sat down, he felt a pure spiritual power flowing out from the spring below and seeping into his body bit by bit.

"How is it? Isn't my place pretty good? Although it's not as good as the Lingyun Pond in the mountains, it's still about 50% or 60% as good. Most importantly, it doesn't cost any points."

Bai Xing was speechless, and looked at Xie Sheng who still had his eyes closed, "Brother Xie, you invited me here not just for a feast, right?"

Xie Sheng opened his eyes and fixed his sharp gaze on Bai Xing. "Junior brother, you are a wise man. In that case, I will not keep you in suspense."

Bai Xing said, "I'd like to hear the details."
