Chapter 506

After a while, Xiaobai opened the door, "Brother Ling, it's you, are you okay?"

"Didn't I tell you to explain the cultivation techniques to you today? I happen to have nothing to do tonight, so I came to explain it to you."

"Come in quickly, Brother Ling, thank you very much." Xiao Bai was very happy when he heard that Ling Bai was going to explain the exercises to him.

Ling Bai and Xiao Bai sat down cross-legged and took out the Sheng Sheng Jue practice technique.

"Xiaobai, what don't you understand? Let me help you."

"Brother Ling, this is it. I don't understand how spiritual power can be generated by itself."

"I'll demonstrate it, and you can understand it yourself."

…

The night passed quickly. With Ling Bai's help, Xiao Bai has now mastered the practice skills of Shengshengjue. Now he can inhale the spiritual energy between heaven and earth into his body.

Then according to the way the Sheng Sheng Jue operates in the body for several days, he can feel that he seems to feel the barrier of the Lingwu Realm.

"Brother Ling, I feel the barrier of the Lingwu Realm."

"Well, Xiaobai, concentrate on gathering your energy. I will now guide you to break through the spiritual realm."

Ling Bai himself also started to run the Sheng Sheng Jue, and then a vortex of spiritual energy appeared around him. Ling Bai poured all this spiritual energy into Xiao Bai's body.

After receiving such majestic spiritual energy, Xiao Bai's body immediately began to tremble.

"Xiao Bai, run your skills to absorb all the spiritual energy, and then let them hit the barrier."

Xiao Bai followed Ling Bai's instructions and directed all the spiritual energy towards the barrier of the Lingwu Realm. Wave after stream of spiritual energy, like a river, impacted on the barrier.

After that, the barrier became thinner and thinner, and at a certain moment, with the sound of a click, Ling Bai also stopped pouring the spiritual energy into Xiao Bai's body.

The Shengshengjue in Xiaobai's body started to work on its own, and then he felt all the spiritual energy being injected into his body, and then his body produced his own spiritual power.

Under the infusion of spiritual energy, this spiritual power gradually became stronger. After absorbing all the spiritual energy, the spiritual power began to move freely in Xiaobai's body.

Xiaobai opened his eyes and could feel the power in his body. The power of the Spiritual Martial Realm was much stronger than that of the Spiritual Tempering Realm.

"Thank you so much, Brother Ling. From now on, my life will be yours."

"Don't say that, I helped you break through to the Lingwu realm for a purpose, so that you can help Brother Hou."

"Brother Ling, what does this mean?"

"I mean, after I leave, the Hou family will rely on you."

"Brother Ling, do you want to leave?"

"Yes, I have reached the fifth level of the Spiritual Martial Realm now, and I am ready to join the mercenary group, because I can get martial arts there."

Hearing Ling Bai's words, Xiao Bai understood that Qingshan City was too small, and Ling Bai felt aggrieved staying here. He knew Ling Bai's powerful talent, so he did not retain him.

"Okay, remember to protect the Hou Mansion, I'll leave first."

Ling Bai left Xiaobai's room and came to the hall. He wanted to tell Hou Hu.

Chapter 12 Leaving Qingshan City

"Housekeeper Hou, where is the head of the family? I have something to do with him."

"It's Ling Bai. Wait a minute and I'll ask you."

After a while, housekeeper Hou came back and said, "Ling Bai, the master is in the study, let me take you there."

Ling Bai followed Butler Hou to Hou Hu's study, "You go alone, I'll go and get busy first."

"Butler Hou, walk slowly."

After seeing off Butler Hou, Ling Bai walked into the study.

"Ling Bai, sit down, what do you want from me?"

"Brother Hou, I'm actually here to say goodbye today. I'm going to the Cangmang Mountains."

After hearing Ling Bai's words, Hou Hu smiled and said, "Actually, I have already guessed it."

"To be honest, your cultivation talent should be considered as one among ten thousand. Although you cultivated relatively late, the small Qingshan City cannot restrict you."

"Brother Hou, I have caused you trouble these days. By the way, Xiaobai is the right guard. I helped him advance to the spiritual martial realm yesterday. He is the youngest. I think the Hou Mansion can use him."

"Ling Bai, it seems that you have made some preparations to leave."

"Brother Hou is away. The Hou Mansion is the starting point for me, Ling Bai, to become a monk. This place is very important to me. Since I am leaving, of course I have to leave something to protect the Hou Mansion."

"Haha, Ling Bai, eldest brother has thanked me here. This is the money I prepared for you. Please take it."

Hou Hu handed a luggage on the desk to Ling Bai, "There are silver coins in it and a hundred low-grade spiritual stones. I can only give you so much now."

"Brother Hou, it's too valuable, I can't have it!" Ling Bai didn't expect that Hou Hu had prepared so many spiritual stones for him.

You must know that the Hou family's monthly expenses are only twenty or thirty low-grade spiritual stones. So many spiritual stones are a very large sum of money for the Hou family.

"Ling Bai, take it. It's hard to move without the spirit stone outside. The Hou family can't give you too much, but this is some of my thoughts."

"Okay, Brother Hou, now that I've said it, I won't be pretentious. When I come back next time, I will definitely lead the Hou family back to the peak of the past."

Ling Bai knew that this was Hou Hu's dream for many years. Although he never said it, Butler Hou mentioned it when he and Ling Bai were drinking.

"Brother, I have thanked you here. When will you leave?"

"I'm going to leave tonight. I'm so eye-catching during the day. The Xiang family must be paying attention to me!"

"Indeed, if you can get away at night, I will keep a low profile and pretend that I know nothing. Come, drink this glass of wine, just as if it is to see you off."

"Brother Hou, cheers!" Ling Bai picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and Hou Hu did the same. Then Ling Bai waved his hand and walked out of the study.

Hou Hu looked at Ling Bai who was going away, and the smile on his face became even stronger. He didn't know how strong Ling Bai would be when they met next time.

"Come here, call Xiaobai to me." Hou Hu said loudly.

Ling Bai carried the bag given by Hou Hu and returned to the room. He started to practice Shengsheng Jue and waited for the night to fall.

When practicing, time passed the fastest, and the night came soon.

Ling Bai stopped practicing, then stood up, carried his bag, and prepared to leave.

After walking out of the room, Ling Bai found Xiaobai meditating in the yard. Seeing that the door of Ling Bai's room was open, Xiaobai opened his eyes.

"Brother Ling, are you leaving?"

"Xiaobai, why are you here? Didn't you go back to rest at night?"

"No, the head of the family said you were leaving, so I came to see you off."

"Okay, practice hard in the future. After I leave, the Marquis' Mansion will be left to you to protect."

"Don't worry, Brother Ling, I won't let the Xiang family come to our Marquis' Mansion to cause trouble."

"Go back, I'm leaving." Ling Bai waved his hand and left in the night.

Ling Bai came out of the back door of the Marquis' Mansion and turned into the alley next to it. Although no one was following him in public, it was better to be cautious to prevent any accidents.

After going out of the alley, Ling Bai did not go through the city gate, but climbed over the city wall.

Now he is a master of the fifth level of the Spiritual Martial Realm. He can easily climb over the wall of Qingshan City.

Standing on the official road outside Qingshan City, Ling Bai looked at Qingshan City and disappeared into the night.

In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shone into Ling Bai's room, but now Ling Bai has embarked on a journey.

Qingshan City is still so busy. I wonder if anyone will remember the young man who participated in the martial arts competition to recruit guards in the Marquis' Mansion many years later.

Ling Bai has walked a long way in one night, following the route in his mind.

The Cangmang Mountains are 500 miles away from Qingshan City, so Ling Bai can't walk there. He needs to find a means of transportation.

In the map, there is a horse market 50 miles away from Qingshan City, where Ling Bai needs something.

In the morning, Ling Bai finally walked to the horse market. He came to a tea stall and sat down.

"Sir, what do you want to order?"

"Just a pot of tea."

"Okay, sir, wait a moment.".

Chapter 13 Not enough money, embarrassed

After a while, the waiter brought a pot of tea, "Sir, your tea."

"Hey, waiter, ask you something.".

Ling Bai took out some silver from his bag and handed it to the waiter.

The waiter smiled when he saw the silver, "Sir, tell me what you think, I will tell you everything I know."

"Where are the best horses in this horse market? I'm going a little far, and I need a horse with good stamina."

"Sir, you've asked the right person. My family has been running a stall here for generations. If you want to know which horse is the best in this horse market, it must be the Cao family at the easternmost end of the horse market. They are a family of horse appraisers."

"Oh, from what you hear, this Cao family is not simple?"

"That's right. Legend has it that the ancestor of the Cao family was a powerful monk who could tame a dragon horse as a mount. The dragon horse is a legendary beast!"

"What happened after that?"

"After the ancestor passed away, the Cao family seemed to have encountered foreign enemies and then fell into decline. There are almost no cultivators in the Cao family now. I also heard that the Cao family fled here from Zhongzhou."

"Is there such a rumor?"

"Yes, although the Cao family here has no cultivation, they are born with the ability to identify horses. The horses they sell are the best quality horses nearby. Even some big cities thousands of miles away have people coming here to buy them."

"Thank you, the money is fine, no need to change."

The waiter took the money and went to work happily. Ling Bai drank tea slowly and thought about the next way to go.

It's not close to the Cangmang Mountains from here, not to mention how difficult the road is. It seems that the next days will be windy and rainy.

After drinking tea, Ling Bai came to the east of the horse market mentioned by the waiter. It is indeed more lively here than other places.

Ling Bai saw the Cao family's shop from a distance. There are indeed many people buying horses there.

He walked over holding a sword and asked the horse seller, "What is the price of horses here?"

"What kind of horse does this guest need to buy?"

"Are there any differences in the price of horses here?"

"Yes, this guest is here for the first time. There are three types of horses here, each with its own price. One is a horse for transporting goods, one is a BMW that can travel a thousand miles a day, and the other is a war horse."

"I see, then give me a horse that can travel a thousand miles a day, I'm going to a far place."

"Okay, guest, please follow me, the price of a thousand-mile horse is five hundred taels of gold, do you think the price is appropriate?"

"How much, five hundred taels of gold?" Ling Bai touched his pocket and found that the silver given by Hou Hu was not enough, so forget it.

He suddenly remembered that he had never seen such a horse in the Hou Mansion. It seemed that Qingshan City was indeed a little small.

"Help me get a slightly cheaper horse. It doesn't matter if it's slow."

"Okay, wait a moment, sir."

After a while, the servant brought a relatively strong black horse.

"Sir, this horse is sold for 100 taels of silver. Do you think it's okay?"

Ling Bai stepped forward and touched it, looked around, "Not bad, it's it, here's the money."

Looking at the shriveled purse, Ling Bai shook his head helplessly. Indeed, it was really difficult to move without money.

Hou Hu prepared 500 taels of silver and 100 low-grade spirit stones for him. These were almost the property of the Hou family. Fortunately, the Hou family did not have any major expenses.

Ling Bai now knew Hou Hu's intentions, "Brother Hou, don't worry, your dream will come true soon." Ling Bai murmured.

After having a horse, Ling Bai was much more convenient to travel, and he could also practice on horseback, so that traveling and practicing would not be delayed at all.

A hundred miles away from Qingshan City, there was no main road, so Ling Bai had to take the small road. He estimated the general direction and rode the big black horse towards the direction of the Cangmang Mountains.

At night, Ling Bai tied the horse under a tree and sat on the tree to practice alone.

Since breaking through to the fifth level of the Spiritual Martial Realm, Ling Bai's practice speed has slowed down, but it is still much faster than others.

Ling Bai activated the Shengsheng Jue, and a spiritual power vortex immediately appeared around him, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth quickly entered his body.

The night time is always short. Ling Bai practiced all night. In the early morning, the spiritual power vortex around Ling Bai dissipated, but he had no signs of stopping practice.

After an incense stick, Ling Bai's body suddenly began to tremble, and then a "crackling" sound came from Ling Bai's body, and the spiritual energy on Ling Bai's body became stronger.
