Chapter 168: Entering the Valley
Deep in the back mountain of Canaan Academy.
Two figures, one old and one young, stood beside a cliff. The old man had a calm and indifferent expression, while the young man had a handsome face with a faint awe-inspiring look between his eyebrows.
"Is this the forbidden area of the Thunder Valley?" Xiao Bai looked around. Unlike the lush greenery in the distance, there was not a trace of green even on the cliffs within a few kilometers.
The surroundings were all rubble and exposed stone walls, with some very shallow marks on them. Xiao Bai was very familiar with these marks. These were the marks left after being struck by thunder.
After countless years of baptism, these marks had long been very blurred, and there was no thunder around.
But he could feel that the land under his feet was filled with a faint thunder attribute energy, which made this place barren.
"Yes, this is the outermost part of the Thunder Valley. Those marks were caused by the lightning that escaped from the valley when it was not sealed!" Su Qian also looked around and nodded slightly.
"It is indeed very strong! Just the lightning that escaped from it has created such a scene!" Xiao Bai nodded, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
"Are you really sure you want to go in?"
Su Qian turned his head to look at Xiao Bai and said seriously:
"There are some places in there that even I have to be careful to go in. If I am not careful, there is also the risk of injury. You have to think about it!"
The Great Elder did not want Xiao Bai to go in, but he couldn't stand this guy saying that if he didn't go in, he would have to leave Canaan Academy.
The elders were almost scared. It was not easy to see a sixth-grade alchemist from their own people, but this guy actually threatened to run away. How could this be tolerated!
A group of people almost rushed up and caught Xiao Bai, locking him up in a small dark room to make medicine.
"You are still young and talented. It is only a matter of time for you to be promoted to Dou Huang. Why are you so anxious?" Su Qian's old eyes were a little puzzled about the purpose of Xiao Bai's doing this.
"As long as you nod and accept the position of elder of Canaan Academy, the resources of the academy will be fully open to you. Wait for a few years, break through to Dou Huang, and then go in to practice, isn't it better!"
He is very optimistic about Xiao Bai. Such a young sixth-grade alchemist with a rare talent for practice. If possible, he hopes that he can stay in Canaan Academy.
"It is because I am young that I have to race against time!" Xiao Bai joked, "Otherwise, when I am old, I will regret not working hard when I was young, won't I regret it!"
Although his eyes were smiling, there was a firm look in them, and he shook his head.
Are you kidding! Wait for a few years? The speed of Xiao Yan's practice is not reasonable at all. If he really practices step by step, I'm afraid he won't even see his tail gas!
Besides, Canaan Academy is not a place suitable for hiding. Although there is a piece of Tuoshe Ancient Jade in his hand, who knows whether Xuwu Tunyan will suddenly recover his memory and recall the location of the ancient emperor's cave!
When the Soul Emperor comes to Canaan Academy, a move of equality of all beings will fall from the sky, then it's all over. Who can wait?
"That's all!" Seeing Xiao Bai's determination, Su Qian waved his hand and sighed, "Since you insist on going, I won't persuade you anymore!"
As he spoke, he turned his palm, and a glittering jade slip appeared in his hand: "Take this jade slip with you! If you can't hold on, just crush the jade slip. I will sense it and rescue you!"
"Of course, if you can hold on and want to get out after practicing, just stick it on the restriction, and the door of space will open by itself!"
"Thank you, Great Elder!" Xiao Bai bowed and took the jade slip.
Seeing him put away the jade slip, the Great Elder nodded slightly, then stretched out his hands and formed a complicated seal. A strange wave emanated, and the space in front suddenly rippled.
After the ripples appeared, they began to twist magically, gradually forming a two-meter-high transparent portal, on which some complicated patterns appeared faintly.
At this moment, bursts of deafening thunder rang through his ears, and through the gradually formed portal, a series of thunderbolt lights shone in Xiao Bai's eyes.
The four thunder seeds seemed to wake up from their slumber at this time, and began to stir in Xiao Bai's body, constantly conveying to him a desire to eat, and seemed a little impatient.
In an instant, a faint thunder sound also sounded from him.
Just when Xiao Bai was forcibly suppressing the thunder seeds in his body, there was a slight movement at his cuffs.
The little golden dragon seemed to have sensed something at this time, his eyes were still closed, but his ears were erected, and the tip of his nose seemed to be sniffing something.
The Great Elder, who was stabilizing the portal, looked at Xiao Bai in surprise, although he didn't know why these movements suddenly appeared on Xiao Bai.
But the occasional fluctuations gave him a very unusual feeling!
"This space portal has not yet been fully formed, but it can resonate. No wonder this little guy wants to come here so strongly. It seems that there is a secret!"
"Now that I think about it, it seems that his purpose of coming to Canaan Academy is very clear. He came here for this place, not for the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower!"
"Is he really related to the Dean?"
Su Qian was thinking while making a seal. Was he wary of Xiao Bai? Of course he was!
An 18-year-old sixth-grade alchemist, a genius in cultivation, appeared in Canaan Academy. After investigation, his background was clean and there was nothing unusual.
If you say there is no suspicion at all, then you underestimate Canaan Academy!
It is not easy to gain a foothold in the Black Horn Region where people's hearts are treacherous. After hundreds of years of ups and downs, the academy still stands in the center of this Black Horn Region!
But everything Xiao Bai did was completely through the formal procedures of Canaan Academy.
Some of his movements in the outer courtyard, including his attitude towards Ruolin, were all seen by them. These performances constantly confirmed that he had no ill will towards Canaan Academy.
Moreover, the speculation of the two elders and the verbal probing after their first meeting also proved that he seemed to have no other ideas about the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower.
So Su Qian had a heart of love for talent and invited him to stay in the academy as an elder.
However, Xiao Bai seemed to attach great importance to the improvement of his cultivation and was very anxious.
After hearing the news of Thunder Valley, he couldn't wait to come here, saying that he would put other things aside and talk about it after he came out of seclusion here.
Then there was the scene of coming here.
At this moment, the space portal shook, the thunder roared in the ears, and a sharp lightning shot out from the portal.
"Bang!"
A streak of energy collided fiercely with the lightning, and after a loud bang, it dissipated into nothingness.
"Okay! Go in!" Su Qian calmly retracted the palm that collided with the lightning, turned his head, and said to Xiao Bai.
"Thank you, Great Elder!" Xiao Bai stood in front of the portal, took a deep breath, and felt the strong thunder energy coming out of the portal, suddenly feeling refreshed.
"Be careful, if there is anything wrong, just crush the jade slip!" Su Qian said seriously.
"Okay!" Xiao Bai smiled at the Great Elder, turned his eyes, and looked at the portal shining with thunder.
The smile on his face slowly dissipated, his expression calmed down, and he stepped into it.
Watching Xiao Bai's figure disappear in the portal, Su Qian continued to wait for a moment. After seeing that Xiao Bai had no problem, he waved his hand, and the portal suddenly turned into circles of ripples and gradually dissipated.
"I hope you can achieve your wish and gain something!" Looking into the void, Su Qian's figure slowly disappeared, leaving only the old voice in the air, and the surroundings returned to calm.
Depressing!
Very depressing!
The dark and heavy clouds in the sky seemed to be within reach.
Xiao Bai stood in front of a huge valley, raised his head slightly, and lightning flashed and shuttled in the dark clouds, like a silver snake dancing wildly.
From time to time, huge pillars of lightning would strike the valley, making a deafening roar. Powerful electric currents would run wild in the valley, and wherever they went, it would be surrounded by electric light.
Going up along the stone wall of the valley, the top of the stone wall was not visible at all, only the heavy clouds, as if the sky was about to collapse and fall into the valley.
"Such a strong thunder energy!" A golden dragon head suddenly appeared from Xiao Bai's sleeves, and he exclaimed in a childish voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light flashed, swallowing a thunder that was coming straight into his stomach.
"Haha. My Lord, this dragon likes this place!" After swallowing the thunder light as thick as a bowl, the dragon's mouth grinned to his ears, and the little golden dragon flicked its tail and appeared in front of Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai was about to speak, and several thunder seeds were like children who wanted to eat snacks but were not allowed to eat, constantly producing abnormal movements in his body.
Releasing the suppression, suddenly four colored light balls with lightning shot out, circling around Xiao Bai for a few circles, and then soared into the sky and rushed straight into the clouds.
"Xiao Yi!" Seeing this, the little golden dragon was overjoyed and no longer cared about Xiao Bai, rushing up.
In an instant, several colored figures disappeared in the clouds.
".!" Xiao Bai.
These conscienceless little guys, they forget their fathers when they have food!
Here, he can't be like these guys, rushing around!
They are thunder themselves, and they are like fish in water here, and they won't be hurt at all.
But he is different; he is a flesh and blood body. Without thunder seeds in his body, he has to be careful, after all, he is only a six-star Dou Ling now.
Xiao Bai looked around and felt the intensity of the thunder that kept falling around him.
"It's really as the Great Elder said, this worst one, the power is comparable to the peak of Dou Wang!"
Xiao Bai carefully avoided the area with dense thunder, just outside this valley, chose a corner where the mountain wall was concave, and sat cross-legged.
The mountain wall here has been eroded by lightning for many years and has gradually been assimilated by the thunder attribute, so it is not afraid of being shattered by the thunder falling from the sky.
Just be careful of the occasional lightning in the valley. Even if it is just a wisp of the thick lightning column, the power is enough for Xiao Bai to drink a pot now.
However, with Xiao Bai's soul realm, he could sense it in advance, so there was no big problem.
As for entering the valley, with his current strength, forget it. He had used soul power to explore from a distance before. Even if a Dou Huang strongman went in, he would be in danger of falling.
He could block one or two, but he couldn't withstand the bombardment of countless. After all, this place was full of thunder attribute energy, and other energies were very thin. The Dou Huang's fighting spirit was also limited.
"First, raise your cultivation to Dou Wang here. With the rich thunder attribute energy here, I believe it won't take long to meet the fifth thunder seed!" Xiao Bai slowly closed his eyes, operated the skills, and began to enter the state of cultivation.
He had been looking forward to the gathering of the five elements of thunder, because no matter which cultivation system, the gathering of the five elements is at the top of the Tao and the law.
Inner courtyard.
An attic in the east.
"Yue'er, follow me!"
A slim woman wearing a goose yellow dress, with two eyebrows slanting straight up, quite heroic, pushed open a door and walked in hurriedly.
"Mulan, can't you knock on the door before you come in?" A cold voice said helplessly in the room.
"Hehe. Don't worry about these details!" Mulan, the woman in the goose yellow dress, waved her hand, her eyes wandering.
"When can you change your carefree personality!" A woman came out of the room and scolded softly.
The woman was wearing a silver dress, tall, slightly thin, but with a beautiful face, fair skin, and picturesque eyebrows. The most surprising thing was that her waist-length hair was a rare silver-white color.
The silver long hair and silver dress made the woman look particularly cold, and the temperament exuded from her body made people feel that she could only be admired from a distance and not be played with.
"Okay! I will pay attention in the future!" Mulan stepped forward, took the silver-haired woman's arm, and smiled: "Follow me now!"
"Where are you going?" The silver-haired woman asked curiously.
"Purple Heaven Palace is recruiting people!"
"Purple Heaven Palace? Is it the new force created by the sixth-grade alchemist?"
"Yes!" Mulan nodded and pulled the woman to leave: "Let's go quickly! Otherwise, it will be too late!"
But she felt that the person next to her was motionless and looked at her in confusion.
"Didn't you want to build 'Yueling' with me? You betrayed so soon?" The silver-haired woman looked at her speechlessly.
"Alas! I'm afraid we can't build Yueling!" Mulan sighed, walked to the table, sat down, and lay on it, saying weakly.
"Why?"
"It's that guy named Xiao Bai. Now the inner courtyard is saying that this guy is not only attractive to women, but also that many female students have gone to a certain place!"
".!" The silver-haired woman was speechless for a moment. After a while, she looked at the woman at the table and said unhappily, "Then why are you running over there!"
"No way! The sixth-grade alchemist is so attractive!"
".!"
The silver-haired woman wanted to beat her to death. What kind of girlfriend is this? It's fine if she goes to send herself, but she actually wants to drag her along?
Freshman area.
In a new attic.
"Bang!"
Xiao Xun'er sat at the head of a table, slammed her jade hand on the table fiercely, and her eyes were angry.
"Who spread the rumor?"
"There's no way to check! This was first spread from the outer courtyard!" Muchuan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"It should be that someone saw that our 'Purple Heaven Palace' is now in its heyday, but they dare not target it openly, so they had to use some shady means!" Lin Yan said after a moment of silence.
"Um... Xun'er, what should we do with those female students blocking the way outside?" Xu Su asked cautiously.
"Follow the requirements!" Xiao Xun'er waved her hand and said, "We will recruit ten Dou Lings with outstanding performance, regardless of gender, and treat them equally!"
"Okay!" Everyone nodded, and when they saw that nothing was wrong, they left.
"Okay! Xun'er, this is not a big deal, Xiaobai doesn't care, why get angry?" Xiao Yixian smiled softly and advised.
"Hey, Xian'er, you have a long way to go in the future!" Xiao Xun'er said meaningfully, with a little sadness.
