The true essence power in Dantian grew stronger again. Yun Xiao felt that his strength had once again made great progress. Although he was still a bit short of reaching the minor accomplishment realm, due to the qualitative advantage of the five elements true essence, at this moment, he was completely confident in competing with a strong person at the great accomplishment realm of true essence.
To this day, his understanding of the five elements true essence is gradually deepening. He knows that the power of the five elements true essence is simply not comparable to ordinary true essence. Even if only a wisp of the five elements true essence is transformed into true qi and flows through the meridians, the power it can burst out is equivalent to a hundred times the power that ordinary true essence can burst out.
This is the difference between quality and quantity, and such a difference usually only appears between martial artists of different levels.
For example, a martial artist at the Yuan Dan realm, aside from having an absolutely higher storage of true essence than a martial artist at the true essence realm, the quality of true essence is also much higher than that of a martial artist at the true essence realm. For the same wisp of true essence power, the true essence power of a Yuan Dan realm martial artist is much stronger than that of a martial artist at the true essence realm.
However, Yun Xiao's true essence is condensed from the power of the five elements. In terms of quality, it is basically already at the top. Let alone a Yuan Dan realm martial artist. Even stronger powerhouses, as long as they haven't comprehended the power of the five elements of heaven and earth, the quality of their true essence will be inferior to his.
Of course, if a powerhouse above the Yuan Dan realm wants to deal with him, he still can't handle it at present. This is like the difference between a drop of gold water and a vast ocean. No matter how dazzling the gold water is, once it drops into the vast ocean, it will still be annihilated...
Yun Xiao reaped a great harvest from his trip to the Lin family. Now, he can go deeper into the Eagle Sorrow Mountain. Because now, even if he encounters a second-level magical beast, he still has the strength to hunt it down. And there are relatively few second-level magical beasts inside the Eagle Sorrow Mountain.
In addition, due to the existence of spiritual power, his perception ability is much sharper than before. Relying on his super perception ability, he can completely avoid those magical beasts that he can't afford to provoke and keep himself away from danger at all times.
The recruitment date of Leiyun Academy is getting closer. Yun Xiao estimates that it will be difficult for him to reach the minor accomplishment realm of true essence before he goes to Leiyun Academy. But it doesn't matter. Anyway, with his current strength, it's hard for ordinary people to hurt him. And once he joins Leiyun Academy, he will get the protection of Leiyun Academy. At that time, even if the Lin family and the Jia family know that he is in Leiyun Academy, they can't do anything to him.
As everyone knows, the protection of Leiyun Academy for students can be described as unreasonable. Even if Yun Xiao only caused a little loss to the Jia family and the Lin family. Even if he killed Lin Wei's son and flayed the young master of the Jia family. As long as he is in Leiyun Academy, these two big families can't take revenge on him.
His plan is very clear. Join Leiyun Academy, get the attention of Leiyun Academy, and thus obtain more cultivation resources to make himself stronger as soon as possible. Only by becoming stronger can he protect his own life. This is something that the protection of the academy can't compare to.
He can't stay in the academy all the time. And once he goes out, even Leiyun Academy can't protect him closely. At this time, everything can only depend on himself.
In the following days, Yun Xiao was looking for high-level spiritual treasures to improve his true essence power while fighting with some powerful magical beasts to improve his combat skills. It can be said that he is making progress every day.
Although he only has a Golden Stone Fist now, many practical combat skills taught by Yun Jin back then are actually not worse than the Golden Stone Fist.
At that time, he didn't have true qi in his body, so he couldn't feel the subtleties of these moves and skills. But now that he has true essence power as a foundation, these killing moves are simply invincible under the drive of true essence power. Some first-level magical beasts have no chance to escape when they meet him.
In Hongluan Town, both the Lin family and the Jia family have given up searching for Eagle Sorrow Mountain. It seems that both big families understand that it is almost impossible to find two people who are familiar with Eagle Sorrow Mountain in the vast Eagle Sorrow Mountain. So it's better to save some effort.
In addition, there is one thing that is causing a stir in Hongluan Town, and that is the theft of the Lin family.
The warehouse of the Lin family was emptied overnight. This news has spread throughout the streets and alleys of Hongluan Town. Because of this incident, Lin Wei, the head of the Lin family, fell seriously ill and almost lost half of his life.
As for who is responsible for the theft of the Lin family, many people point the finger at the Jia family.
The Jia family lost face in the marriage between the Lin family and the Jia family. Everyone understands that the Jia family must hate the Lin family deeply. Maybe the theft of the Lin family this time was done by the Jia family in secret.
Of course, this is just speculation. After all, even the Jia family would find it difficult to empty the warehouse of the Lin family overnight. However, the Jia family is the most suspected, which is undeniable.
Suffering such a blow, the status of the Lin family in Hongluan Town is bound to decline. But in the end, all this is Lin Wei's own fault. If he didn't force his daughter to marry at the beginning, today's everything should not have happened. I just don't know if Lin Wei can understand these...
Summer passes and autumn comes, and the weather begins to gradually become cool. And the annual recruitment of Leiyun Academy finally arrives as scheduled amid the expectations of countless people.
The recruitment of Leiyun Academy is the biggest event in the entire Leiyun Prefecture, and it is also an important moment when another batch of geniuses in Leiyun Prefecture gather and show up. I don't know how many outstanding talents will rise to fame in this college recruitment and become the new hope and future of Leiyun Prefecture...
The huge city wall is endless at a glance. If someone looks down from high altitude, they will find that the entire city is like an ancient behemoth, quietly lying in wait here, but always ready to soar into the sky and shock the world!
A towering mansion is located in the very center of the city. With this mansion as the center, the entire city spreads out in all directions.
The bustling streets, row upon row of teahouses and restaurants, and the brilliant red bricks and green tiles everywhere outline a prosperous scene... Looking outward, the be filled with green gives people a refreshing feeling. It can be said that it is a beautiful spring scene with ten miles of fragrant wheat. Here is simply a paradise on earth.
On a bustling street, the dazzling sunlight spreads between the red bricks and green tiles. The pedestrians coming and going are in an endless stream, and the sounds of buying and selling and shouting are endless. The whole is a lively scene.
At this time, a young man stands in the middle of the street, looking at everything in front of him in surprise.
"Is this Leiyun Prefecture? I've always heard people say how prosperous Leiyun Prefecture is. Today, as expected, it is extraordinary."
Yun Xiao's gaze swept across the entire street, and the shock in his heart was hard to calm down for a long time.
As the recruitment date of Leiyun Academy is getting closer. Five days ago, he stepped out of Eagle Sorrow Mountain and set off from a small town near Hongluan Town. Using a short-legged horse as his means of transportation, he came all the way. It took him five full days to arrive at Leiyun Prefecture.
Along the way, he entered the city from outside the city and finally witnessed what is called prosperity and what is called affluence. It can be said that compared with this Leiyun Prefecture, the so-called Hongluan Town is almost no different from a wild place.
"A Leiyun Prefecture can be so prosperous. I really don't know what the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be like." Withdrawing his gaze from the surrounding streets, Yun Xiao couldn't help but yearn for the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty while secretly amazed.
Leiyun Prefecture has thousands of towns under its jurisdiction. Here is the center of these thousands of towns. And the Great Zhou Dynasty has thirty-six prefectures. The capital is the center of the thirty-six prefectures. It can be imagined that the capital of the Zhou Dynasty is probably even more prosperous and magnificent than the current Leiyun Prefecture. I just don't know how prosperous it will be.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
Just as Yun Xiao was lost in thought, a dull sound came from afar. As the sound spread, the earth seemed to tremble. At the same time, a man's shout resounded throughout the entire street.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way. Those who don't want to die, get out of the way."
As the shout spread, the entire street was in chaos. At the same time, a fat one-horned rhinoceros pulled a carriage and sped through the crowd. Some common people who couldn't dodge in time were even hit by the one-horned rhinoceros and the carriage and were directly knocked flying.
Amidst the crying and wailing, the one-horned rhinoceros drove the carriage away, leaving only a mess all over the street and some helpless complaints.
"Damn, what's the situation? Am I not seeing things? Can a one-horned rhinoceros pull a carriage?"
After the carriage left, a young man in gorgeous clothes patted the dust off his body while shouting in shock.
"Young brother, at first glance, you are from outside. You don't even recognize the carriage of Miss Lei's family." Hearing the young man's shout, a young man on the side straightened his clothes and said with a smile.
"I am Li Sihuan from Qingmang Town. I came here to participate in the recruitment of Leiyun Academy this time. I really don't know the situation. Please enlighten me, brother." The young man reported his name. His manners were very courteous. At first glance, he was a well-bred son of a big family.
"Tsk tsk, you little brother are quite polite. Since that's the case, I'll tell you about it so that you don't know anything and accidentally offend noble people in the future and don't even know it."
Seeing that the young man was so humble, the young man smiled slightly and then said, "Young brother doesn't know. Just now that was the only daughter of the prefect of Leiyun Prefecture, named Lei Qingqing. She is the apple of the prefect's eye. She is used to being arrogant and willful. Situations like just now are already common and people are used to it."
"The daughter of the prefect of Leiyun Prefecture? No wonder she is so arrogant and can even let magical beasts pull carriages."
After hearing the young man's narration, Li Sihuan, the young man, raised his eyebrows and a look of understanding flashed across his face.
What kind of person is the prefect of Leiyun Prefecture? It is completely reasonable for his daughter to be so arrogant. As for magical beasts pulling carriages, it seems that with the means of the prefect of Leiyun Prefecture, there is nothing impossible.
"Kid, I tell you that there are two people in the entire Leiyun Prefecture who must not be provoked. This Miss Lei is the first one. In the future, when you encounter her, you'd better stay far away."
"Thank you for your reminder, big brother. Since she is the daughter of the prefect of Leiyun Prefecture, I will naturally not easily provoke her..."
"It seems you still don't understand what I mean. To tell you the truth, I told you to stay away from that young lady. It's not because of the prefect."
The young man seemed to be in high spirits and couldn't stop once he started talking.
"Oh? Please enlighten me, big brother." Li Sihuan was also interested. He simply followed the young man to the side of the street and continued to ask.
"You don't know. The prefect almost never interferes in matters related to this Miss Lei. However, basically all those who have provoked this young lady have now become disabled. And it wasn't someone else who did it, but herself."
At this point, the young man seemed to recall certain scenes and couldn't help but shiver.
"Well? So, this Miss Lei should be a master?" Li Sihuan was obviously a smart person. After the young man said so much, he naturally understood what the other meant.
"Master? Of course she is a master!" Swallowing his saliva, the young man regained his composure. "Half a year ago, this young lady just passed her sixteenth birthday. And on her sixteenth birthday, she had already successfully stepped into the great accomplishment realm of true essence. She is recognized as a super genius in Leiyun Prefecture!"
"What? Reaching the great accomplishment realm of true essence at the age of sixteen?" As soon as the young man finished speaking, Li Sihuan's face suddenly changed as if he had heard the most unbelievable thing.
"Shh, what are you shouting for? If people hear us criticizing Miss Lei's family, the people of the Lei family will tear my mouth apart. Forget it, forget it. I still have things to do. I'll take my leave for now."
The young man was obviously very afraid of the Lei family. Looking around and finding that no one was paying attention to this side, he hurriedly left.
"Thank you, old brother. I'll treat you to a drink when I have a chance." Li Sihuan didn't stop him either. Watching the young man leave, he didn't forget to express his gratitude. However, the other party didn't seem to appreciate it. Without looking back, he disappeared into the crowd.
