"Beep. Congratulations to the host for creating the second move of the Tyrant Sword Art, Thunder Fire Movement. You have received 50,000 martial arts points.”
The system's voice sounded in his mind.
"Beep. Congratulations to the host for entering the Profound Finger Realm. You have received 100,000 martial arts points.”
When he executed the perfected Thunderfire Move, Su Xuan's state of mind had already reached perfection.
He had broken through the Vajra Realm barrier and pushed his realm into the Profound Finger Realm. His inner strength and heart force had skyrocketed, and even his primordial spirit had become much stronger.
When one's mental state and inner force were both complete, all breakthroughs would naturally come naturally.
Moreover, he had also obtained 150,000 martial arts points, which he had accumulated over the past three months.
He had a total of more than 200,000 martial arts points.
As if sensing Su Xuan's joy, Mystic Tiger was also extremely excited and ran around him.
"Roar!"
The initial roars were replaced by the roars of tigers, causing the forest to rustle and countless wild beasts to flee in panic.
"Let's go home."
Su Xuan waved his hand and stepped out. The rugged mountains and steep cliffs made it seem as if he was walking on flat ground. Mystic Tiger sat on his shoulder and followed Su Xuan through the mountains and rivers.
Feng Xu was riding the wind, his long robe billowing as he circulated his zhenqi. He stood in the air without moving, as if he was floating clouds.
Opening his sleeves, his internal strength surged and his speed suddenly increased. Not only was Mystic Tiger not afraid, he looked around.
An hour later, the man and the tiger left Cuiwei Mountain. The ice on the Xiliang River had already melted, and the snow water upstream flowed into the river. The waves surged and slapped the banks on both sides. White waves surged and were mixed with spiraling undercurrents.
"Roar!"
The Mystic Tiger jumped down from his shoulder and growled. When it saw Su Xuan nod, it rushed into the Western Liang River excitedly, revealing its dark head. Its four claws stirred the waves and swam towards the other side.
"Hurry up."
Su Xuan held the Green Bamboo Sword and stepped on the waves. His footsteps were swift, and in the blink of an eye, he had crossed more than 100 feet.
By the time he reached the other side, Mystic Tiger had just swam to the center of the river and was struggling with the waves.
Su Xuan waited for a while before the fellow rushed ashore in exhaustion. He shook off the water on his body and followed Su Xuan along the path to the manor.
He clasped his hands behind his back and looked into the distance. After spring, it was the busiest time of the year. There were caravans and vendors coming from the south to the north, farmers, peddlers, and so on.
It was also the busiest time in Qixia Town, and the sound of peddling could be heard from far away.
They walked along the bluestone path, passed through the bamboo forest, and entered the Su residence through the back door. When the little fellow saw the spacious residence, he immediately ran around happily.
"This is our home."
Su Xuan waved his hand, and it trotted over and obediently lay on the ground.""You are not allowed to hurt people in the future, do you hear me? And without my permission, you are not allowed to leave the courtyard.”
Mystic Tiger nodded his head. Basically, he followed Su Xuan wherever he went.
Every time he came back, he would take a comfortable hot bath first, and this time was no exception.
Although it was quiet in the mountains, the living conditions were definitely not comparable to those in the town. That kind of life could only be lived occasionally.
If Su Xuan were to stay in the mountains for the rest of his life and cultivate in seclusion, he would probably go crazy.
On the third floor of the small building, he was wearing a white robe and leaning against the railing. He was holding a cup of bamboo green tea in his hand, enjoying the scenery of the town while basking in the sun.
It was the third month of the spring, and flowers bloomed. By the Xiliang River, willow leaves grew out and swayed in the wind.
On the river, seven or eight boats were bobbing up and down with the waves. The big ones were ferrying boats, while the small ones were fishing boats.
The setting sun was setting in the west, and the fishermen were singing at night. The golden light enveloped the mountains and the earth.
From the sound of the inn next door, one could tell that business was good.
"Big mouth, one Yuxiang Shredded Pork, one plate of stir-fried pork intestines, and one red bean soup with pickled vegetables.”
Lao Bai shouted from the lobby.
"Shopkeeper, quickly go get some wine.”
"Shopkeeper Zhou, please."
"Shopkeeper Tang, there's an empty table, there's an empty table. Please have a cup of tea first.”
At the entrance of the inn, there was an endless stream of customers coming in and out. Most of them were familiar faces.
"Zhan Tang, quickly clean up the table.”
"Old Zhou, sit here, sit here.”
Tong Xiangyu, Bai Zhantang, the kitchen in the backyard, and the noise of the customers chatting.
Su Xuan heard everything clearly. Even Old Xing, who had finished patrolling the streets, came to help entertain the guests.
"The days are getting more and more popular.”
He chuckled.
Then, he sent a message to Lao Bai using true qi.
In the inn, Lao Bai, who was running errands, was stunned. After a moment, he shouted to the kitchen,"Big Mouth, prepare more dishes for dinner. Little Su is coming over to eat.”
"What?"
Li Dazui quickly walked out of the backyard with a spoon in his hand. He thought he had heard wrong."You said Little Su is coming over tonight?"
"Yes."
Lao Bai smiled and nodded.
"How did you know?"
Tong Xiangyu rolled her eyes at him and rebuked,"Are you making fun of us?"
"That's right."
After Old Xing finished toasting, he came over and said,""My younger brother isn't even here. What did he tell you?”
"I said that you guys don't have any knowledge and you're still unhappy.”
Old White said," This is called the Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Technique. Listen to me. I guarantee that it won't go wrong. Hurry up and prepare."”
"Don't lie to me."
Old Xing patted the official saber on his waist and said in a threatening manner,""If my brother doesn't come back tonight, I won't forgive you.”
"If he didn't come, it wouldn't be a problem to cut me into eight pieces.”
Lao Bai raised his eyebrows.
"What are you talking about?"
"Can't you say something nice?" The shopkeeper said in a bad mood.”
She had been in Qixia Town for almost a year and was familiar with the neighbors. Old Xing and Old Bai also knew Tong Xiangyu's character.
As long as he opened his mouth to speak, there would be no end to it. All kinds of great principles came one after another, and it was extremely annoying.
The two of them looked at each other and fled.
"Shopkeeper Zhou, enjoy your meal."
"Old Qian, it's good to drink."
Old Xing greeted.
"Let's go."
Bai Zhantang went into the backyard.
In the small building in the middle courtyard, Su Xuan retracted his gaze and sat on a chair, enjoying the rays of the setting sun.
In the courtyard, Mystic Tiger ran from the backyard to the front and back, from the bamboo forest to the garden, and then climbed up the pavilion. He was having a lot of fun.
After familiarizing itself with the entire courtyard, it quietly rushed out of the garden in the middle of the courtyard. It jumped twenty feet high, jumped to the second floor, and then climbed along the pillar to the third floor.
A round head squeezed through the railing.
"Pa!"
His body, which weighed dozens of kilograms, jumped into Su Xuan's arms. If it wasn't for his strong physique, an ordinary person would have been laid down for three to five days with this jump.
The little fellow curled up into a ball and began to sleep.
The blazing sun slowly descended from the earth, and the sky darkened. A cool night breeze blew from Cuiwei Mountain.
When the wine in his cup was empty, Su Xuan poured another cup. The night fell, and the mountains were silent. There were few people on the streets.
"Mystic Tiger, let's go. I'll bring you to meet some new friends.”
He patted its head, got up from the chair, and stretched. The little fellow landed on the ground.
tongfu Inn
Old Xing and Old Bai were drinking with peanuts while Xiaobei and Tong Xiangyu were looking around at the entrance of the inn.
As for Big Mouth, he was still preparing the dishes in the kitchen.
"Shopkeeper, when will Little Su arrive? My dishes can be served at any time.”
Big Mouth stood at the door of the backyard and lifted the curtain to ask.
"Let's wait a little longer."
"Remember to make a few dishes that Little Su likes."”
"Don't worry."
Big Mouth said,"Stir-fried pork intestines, stir-fried beef with green peppers, pickled fish, boiled meat slices, chicken stewed with mushrooms are all Little Su's favorite dishes."”
"Also, have you stewed half of the mutton?”
Lao Bai interrupted.
"It's stewing in the pot.”
As he spoke, Big Mouth unconsciously licked his lips. It was obvious that he had eaten a lot of food in the kitchen just now.
"Old Bai, why are you stewing so much mutton?”
Old Xing was puzzled.
"I don't know."
"Little Su asked me to stew it." Bai Zhantang shook his head.”
"Coming, coming."
"Sister-in-law, look. Isn't that Brother Su?”
Mo Xiaobei pointed at the street in the distance. There was a figure in a white robe, but the sky was too dark to see his face clearly.
Just as Mo Xiaobei was about to fetch Su Xuan, she saw something that resembled a tiger or a leopard silently walking out of the darkness.
Its sharp claws and its green eyes shone in the night sky, scaring her so much that she screamed.
"Xiaobei, what's wrong?"
Old Bai and Old Xing hurriedly stood up.
"Old... Tiger."
Mo Xiaobei clung onto Tong Xiangyu's body. The two sisters-in-law looked at Xuan Hu, who was standing at the entrance of the inn. Their faces were pale and their bodies were trembling.
Old Bai and Old Xing were also shocked. One of them pulled out a long saber from his waist while the other hurriedly pulled Tong Xiangyu and Mo Xiaobei in.
"Really…It really is a tiger."
Old Xing's hand was trembling as he held the saber. He stuttered.
"Roar!"
Seeing Old Xing pointing his saber at him, Mystic Tiger growled in dissatisfaction. Although the roar was not loud, it had a strong penetrating power, which made the people in the inn tremble involuntarily.
"Sister-in-law, I…I'm scared."
Mo Xiaobei trembled.
"Xiaobei, Sister-in-law is scared too."
Tong Xiangyu hugged Xiaobei tightly and looked at Old White.
"Zhantang."
"Zhantang is also afraid."
"Isn't it just a little tiger?"
Big Mouth rushed over from the kitchen with a kitchen knife. In the end, he saw Mystic Tiger squatting quietly at the door. Moreover, the tiger head seemed to be smiling.
"Why do I feel like it's smiling?"
Lao Bai said uncertainly.
"I have the same feeling."
Old Xing echoed.
"Mystic Tiger."
A familiar voice sounded. Su Xuan stopped at the entrance of the inn, and when he heard his voice, Mystic Tiger immediately turned around.
"I'm sorry, I picked this up at Cuiwei Mountain. Its name is Mystic Tiger.”
Su Xuan explained with a smile.
"You don't have to be afraid. It can understand human language and won't hurt people easily.”
Mystic Tiger nodded and took the initiative to step forward, rubbing Mo Xiaobei's pants affectionately.
"Wow, so obedient."
Mo Xiaobei and Tong Xiangyu were instantly melted by the Mystic Tiger's adorable appearance. Although they were still a little afraid, with Su Xuan around, they became bolder.
"You almost scared me to death."
Old Xing put away his saber and grinned.""I'm late today. I'll have to punish myself with three cups later.”
"No problem."
Su Xuan nodded.
The three of them sat down. As for Tong Xiangyu and Mo Xiaobei, they had been completely captured by the Mystic Tiger and were having a great time playing with it.
"Mystic Tiger, come here."
Lao Bai waved.
The latter immediately jogged over.
"Eat a chicken drumstick."
He picked up a large drumstick from the plate and handed it over. The Mystic Tiger swallowed the drumstick in one bite without even chewing it.
After eating, Mystic Tiger ran back to Tong Xiangyu and Mo Xiaobei.
"Did you really pick it up?"
Lao Bai couldn't believe it.
"When I was practicing my sword, I shook it out of the cave. After that, this little fellow stuck to me.”
" It's only been three months," Su Xuan said with a smile." It's grown from the size of a palm to now. You have to eat dozens of kilograms of meat every meal.”
"It looks a little like a tiger, but not exactly like it. It looks more like a leopard.”
Old Xing walked over and held the Mystic Tiger in his arms. He weighed it in his arms and found that it was heavy. The Mystic Tiger even stuck out its tongue to lick Old Xing's face.
"Hahaha, itchy."
It didn't take long for the people in the inn to circle around the Mystic Tiger, leaving Su Xuan to drink by himself.
"Sigh, why do I feel like I did something wrong?”
He said,"I shouldn't have brought this guy here. Now I'm making myself look like an outsider."”
The steaming hot dishes were served on the table, and everyone gathered together. As for Mystic Tiger, he had specially taken a large iron basin with his big mouth. The basin was filled with mutton, and this fellow was eating until his mouth was full of oil.
"Cheers, to celebrate our Shopkeeper Su's great success in his cultivation and his return.”
Tong Xiangyu was especially happy today. She usually did not drink alcohol, but at this time, she poured half a glass of yellow wine.
"Let's eat."
Big Mouth Old White and Little Bei rushed forward and fought over the chicken drumsticks and pig trotters.
"Look at how useless you guys are."
Tong Xiangyu laughed and scolded," Snatch slower, snatch slower. There are enough drumsticks today."”
"Brother, I want to discuss something with you.”
Old Xing looked embarrassed.
"What is it?"
He was curious.
"You know that too."
" I'm the only constable in town now," said Old Xing." It's not easy to recruit constables either. We're seriously short of manpower."
Why don't you lend me the Mystic Tiger? I'll take it to patrol the streets and let it train.”
Helping to patrol the streets was secondary. The main thing was to show off. The constables of Guangyang Prefecture would at most bring a dog, but it would be more prestigious for him to bring a tiger. Although it was a little tiger, it was still a tiger, right?
Also, if they encountered any criminals or the like, with the Mystic Tiger around, they would have an extra helper. With its appearance, it would bare its teeth and roar. Anyone would be so scared that they would not be able to move.
"Let's talk about it in the future."
Su Xuan explained," It's only just arrived in town. I'm not by its side. If it gets angry, it might bite someone."”
"After a while, when the Mystic Tiger is a little bigger, I'll let it accompany you to patrol the streets when there's nothing to do.”
"Then let's just say this."
Old Xing was overjoyed.
After dinner, Su Xuan left the inn with the Mystic Tiger under everyone's reluctant gazes.
"There will be another expense in the future.”
Su Xuan sighed.
He could already eat a lot, and now there was another one that could eat. He would get a sheep a day. Moreover, when the Mystic Tiger grew bigger, its appetite would definitely increase.
Although he had some money, he couldn't just sit around and eat everything. Sooner or later, he would be eaten until he was poor.
"Pick a good day and make a few more tables of wine and dishes to sell.”
He began to calculate.
night
Su Xuan sat cross-legged on the bed in the small building and cultivated the Wedding Dress Divine Art, preparing to break through to the seventh level.
Mystic Tiger was lying on the floor in front of the bed, sleeping soundly.
He did not use much of the martial arts points he had accumulated from killing several experts in a row. The Six Grades of Wedding Dress Skill was almost entirely dependent on his own perseverance and talent.
As the saying went, good steel should be used on the blade. It was time to use these martial arts points. Money was a bastard. After spending it, he could earn more.
He focused and calmed his mind, sinking it into his Sea of Consciousness.
"Beep. Host, please choose whether to strengthen the sixth level of the Wedding Dress Divine Art.”
"Strengthening."
"Beep. Congratulations to the host. 200,000 martial arts points have been deducted. Strengthening failed.”
"Beep. Congratulations to the host. 200,000 martial arts points have been deducted. Strengthening failed.”
"Beep. Congratulations to the host. 200,000 martial arts points have been deducted. Strengthening failed.”
After failing three times in a row, Su Xuan didn't even blink. After all, he had a lot of martial arts points now.
"Beep. Congratulations to the host. 200,000 martial arts points have been deducted. Strengthening failed.”
"Beep. Congratulations to the host. 200,000 martial arts points have been deducted. Strengthening failed.”
After failing five times in a row, he fell silent and immediately began the seventh strengthening.
"Beep. Congratulations to the host. 200,000 martial arts points have been deducted.”
