“Thump”
In the early morning, as the rooster crowed, a series of bell sounds echoed throughout the entire Tianxuan Sect.
Inside the room, Xu Ming slowly opened his eyes, his first reaction being the heavy weight on his shoulder.
Xu Ming lowered his head and saw that Shen Shengsheng was fast asleep, leaning on his shoulder.
Because Xu Ming was alone, bringing a little girl, according to the rules of the Tianxuan Sect, he lived in a single courtyard.
However, the Tianxuan Sect also considered the inconvenience of the two people, so in this single room, the bed was a bunk bed.
Shen Shengsheng slept on the upper bunk, and Xu Ming slept on the lower bunk.
This was actually quite good.
In someone else's territory, how could the formation of this courtyard be reliable? What if something happened while he was asleep at night?
It could be said that Shengsheng was now his only weakness.
With Shen Shengsheng by his side, he could take good care of her.
It was just that Shen Shengsheng didn't sleep peacefully. As she slept, she climbed onto Xu Ming's bed.
Xu Ming took Shen Shengsheng's arm off his neck and got out of bed.
Walking out of the courtyard, the rich spiritual power of the Tianxuan Sect made Xu Ming feel instantly refreshed.
To be honest, since leaving Wudu, this was the place where Xu Ming felt the most abundant spiritual power, without exception.
And the Guest Peak was not the place with the highest spiritual power concentration in the Tianxuan Sect.
It was rumored that the direct disciples and嫡传disciples of the Tianxuan Sect would have special cultivation grounds.
Xu Ming didn't even dare to imagine the concentration of spiritual power there.
After washing up, Xu Ming sat cross-legged in the courtyard, absorbing the purest spiritual power between heaven and earth in the early morning.
However, in Xu Ming's mind, he was still recalling the old man he had seen yesterday.
“Who was that old man? Why was he trapped in that mountain? Do the disciples of the Tianxuan Sect know about this?”
These three questions had been troubling Xu Ming's mind.
“Awoo.”
Just as Xu Ming was thinking and absorbing spiritual power, Shen Shengsheng walked out of the room.
“Awake.”
Xu Ming walked forward with a smile, touching Shen Shengsheng's little head.
“Mmm.” Shen Shengsheng nodded obediently.
“Go wash your face and brush your teeth.”
Xu Ming fetched a basin of water for Shen Shengsheng. Shen Shengsheng took out a cup from her storage bag, as well as the toothbrush Xu Ming had made for her. Finally, she dipped some fine salt and squatted on the ground, brushing her teeth carefully.
After brushing her teeth, Shen Shengsheng happily ran to Xu Ming, baring her snow-white teeth for Xu Ming to see.
“Yes, very good, brushed clean.” Xu Ming nodded, “Go wash your face.”
“Mmm.”
Shen Shengsheng ran over to wash her face again.
“Young Master Xu, I'm here to deliver your breakfast.”
Outside the courtyard, a female outer disciple walked in.
This female outer disciple was named Cui Caihua, and she had been in the Tianxuan Sect for five or six years.
“Thank you, Miss Cui.” Xu Ming thanked her.
“You're too kind, Young Master.” Cui Caihua smiled, “If Young Master has nothing else, then I'll go down first.”
“Please wait, Miss.” Xu Ming stretched out his hand, “Actually, I do have something I want to ask you.”
Cui Caihua bowed slightly: “Please speak, Young Master. Caihua will definitely answer everything she knows.”
“It's like this…” Xu Ming thought for a moment, organizing his words, “Yesterday I had nothing to do, so I took a stroll and discovered a mountain peak, and I felt quite curious.”
Cui Caihua: “I wonder which mountain peak Young Master is asking about?”
Xu Ming's tone was very casual: “That mountain peak is about three hundred zhang high, very tall, with a peculiar shape, like a long seal, stamped on the earth. On top of this mountain peak, there are also three huge rocks, but the appearance of the huge rocks is nothing special.”
Listening to Xu Ming's description, Cui Caihua immediately understood: “Young Master Xu is probably talking about Three Stone Peak.”
“Three Stone Peak?” Xu Ming asked curiously, “Does this mountain peak have anything special about it?”
Cui Caihua shook her head: “Actually, I don't know much about it either. This mountain peak is a forbidden area of the sect. Not to mention us outer disciples, even direct disciples cannot enter. Since ancient times, only the Sect Leader can enter.
As for what's inside, the sect rumors are that there are some natural treasures.
Besides that, there really aren't any other rumors about Three Stone Peak.
Like this kind of forbidden area, there are actually quite a few in the sect. Young Master will get used to it.
However, there are extremely powerful formations set up near Three Stone Peak. Ordinary people who enter will definitely have a narrow escape from death. Young Master, please do not get close.”
Xu Ming cupped his hands in thanks: “Thank you for the reminder, Miss. I understand.”
“You're too kind, Young Master.”
Cui Caihua bowed slightly and turned to leave.
However, the more Xu Ming in the courtyard recalled Cui Caihua's description, the more curious he became.
Xu Ming felt that if he really wanted to know something, he would probably have to ask Wang Xuan.
With Wang Xuan's seniority, he definitely knew a lot.
But…
Even if he went to ask, whether Wang Xuan could tell him was another matter.
And what if he discovered some terrible secret, would Wang Xuan kill him to silence him? That was also hard to say.
“Brother Xu!”
“Brother Xu, long time no see!”
Just as Xu Ming was hesitating in his heart, two men's voices came from outside the courtyard again.
Xu Ming raised his head and saw Yuwen Xi and Miao Feng walking in happily.
“Brother Yuwen, Brother Miao.”
Seeing old friends, Xu Ming was also very happy.
The two men walked into the courtyard with a smile, cupping their hands in return.
Miao Feng: “We originally thought we had come early enough, but we didn't expect that Brother Xu would arrive even earlier.”
Yuwen Xi said excitedly: “When we were still resting in Xuan Yue City, we saw the Qingyun Ranking change names. We really didn't expect that Brother Xu would be ranked second on the Qingyun Ranking. We are also honored!”
Xu Ming shook his head: “Actually, I should have lost that match. It's just that Senior Brother Chen felt that winning was not honorable, so he conceded.”
Miao Feng: “You can't say that. Winning is winning, and losing is losing. No matter what, Chen Yun conceded, then Brother Xu should accept this victory calmly.”
Listening to the two men's words, Xu Ming just smiled and didn't say much.
Yuwen Xi: “By the way, since I see that Brother Xu has nothing to do, would you like to participate in the Dao Discussion Conference?”
“Dao Discussion Conference?” Xu Ming asked curiously.
Miao Feng: “It's like this, the Dao Discussion Conference is actually a martial arts tournament. Because the Zixia Grand Ceremony hasn't started yet, but many guests have come, so the Tianxuan Sect is holding a martial arts tournament for everyone to learn from each other. The more you win, the more generous the rewards will be.
I heard that the envoys from the Wanjian Sect have also gone to participate.”
