Next to the ice bed was a small low table with a box on it.

Ruan Xihe opened the box, and inside was a gray, tattered old book with three blurry large characters written on the cover. She took a quick look to make out what was written.

The title of the book should be "Body Strengthening Techniques".

After opening it, every time Ruan Xihe read a line of words, he would feel that his spiritual power would decrease a little.

Although she had a body of chaos and the primordial energy in the Qiankun bracelet was endless, the spiritual energy she consumed when reading the Body Tempering Art was much faster than the spiritual energy she absorbed, so after reading the first page, she did not have the energy to turn to the second page.

After resting for a while, and waiting until his spiritual power was almost recovered, Ruan Xihe turned to the second page again.

But when her fingers touched the first page and she was about to turn it, a huge pressure suddenly came from the ancient book, making her breathless.

Resisting the feeling of suffocation in his heart, Ruan Xihe still insisted on turning to the second page.

However, a surprising scene appeared.

The second page of the Body Tempering Technique was blank, without any words on it. Ruan Xihe was so angry that he closed the ancient book with a "snap".

"Master, this Body Refining Technique uses Qi to refine the body." Ruoruo came to her side at some point and explained to her, "It means using the spiritual power in your body to refine the body. Now your cultivation is too low and there is not much spiritual power stored in your body, so you can only read the content on the first page."

What Ruoruo didn't tell her was that the reason she was able to finish reading the first page was because she had made a contract with Taotie.

After making the contract with Taotie, although her cultivation did not increase, the spiritual power in her body became more abundant.

"So that's how it is..." Ruan Xihe nodded, picked up the Body Tempering Technique again, and looked at the first page carefully.

Now when she reads the Body Tempering Technique again, she no longer feels the same difficulty as she did the first time.

On the contrary, after she read each line of words, the fonts on the page seemed to automatically enter her mind, demonstrating the correct process of practicing the exercises in her sea of ​​consciousness.

"Owner?"

"Owner!"

Ruan Xihe was brought back to his senses by Ruoruo's voice. He found that he had been sitting on the ground without knowing when. His hands kept making seals and practicing energy along with the images in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Master, what happened to you just now?"

"I'm fine..."

Ruan Xihe stood up from the ground, clapped his hands, and walked towards the ice bed that was emitting cold air.

"Then what is this? Does it have anything to do with the Body Tempering Technique?"

"This is the Nine Nether Ice Soul Bed made of Nine Nether Ice Soul. Master, if you sit on it every day to practice the Body Forging Technique, you will achieve twice the result with half the effort."

When Ruan Xihe heard this, he stepped forward and sat on it.

The cold air came over him instantly, and the whole person seemed to be stuck to the Jiu Ming Bing Po bed, unable to move.

Ruan Xihe couldn't help but shiver. She squinted her eyes uncomfortably and forced herself not to move.

Her body slowly began to frost over, emitting an oppressive chill, but she did not even blink as she sat quietly on the Nine Nether Ice Soul Bed like a sculpture.

Images of the body-building techniques kept flashing in her sea of ​​consciousness. She closed her eyes, began to form seals with her hands, and began to practice according to the images in her sea of ​​consciousness.

......

The next morning.

Ruan Xihe was wearing a black dress, which made her skin look even whiter and more delicate.

After looking at herself in the bronze mirror, she shook her head slightly, then took out a large golden half mask and put it on her face, leaving only her right eye and half of her smooth forehead exposed.

The gold-embroidered pattern of her clothes combined with her awe-inspiring aura made Ruan Xihe look even more extraordinary and noble, making people dare not look directly at her.

After leaving a note for Yinhuan, she slipped out of the Ruan Mansion.

A quarter of an hour later, Ruan Litian brought a few people to Heyuan.

"He girl, are you up? Grandpa suddenly remembered that there is something I haven't told you yet."

With a "creak", the courtyard door was opened, but what came into Ruan Litian's eyes was Yinhuan's sad little face.

"Chief, the young lady left early in the morning."

"He girl is not here? Did she say where she went?" Ruan Litian clenched the invitation to the Cangyu auction in his hand, feeling a little annoyed.

When he and the girl came back yesterday, he was planning to take them to the Cangyu Auction to see the world.

But when he talked about Ruan Jue last night, he felt a little sad and forgot about it.

He suddenly remembered this matter just now, so he rushed to Heyuan, but he didn't expect that the little girl was gone again.

"The young lady didn't say anything. She just said she would be back in the evening and told us not to look for her or worry about her."

Yinhuan raised her hand and handed the note to Ruan Litian.

Ruan Litian took the note and didn't know whether to laugh or cry after reading it, "This stinky girl..."

The note read:

I observed the celestial phenomena last night and calculated that something exciting will happen today, so I decided to leave the house early. Yinhuan, tell grandpa not to send anyone to look for me today. I will return home in the evening.

Also: If you want to know what's going on, pay a spirit stone to unlock the truth!

"Forget it, that's it. If that's the case, just let her go."

Ruan Litian smiled and shook his head, then left Heyuan with the note.

Today, the city was unusually busy. Ruan Xihe felt it when he came out of the mansion. The flow of people was more than three times more than usual...

Various spirit beasts pulled the carts forward in an endless stream, and some people even rode directly on the spirit beasts and walked towards the Cangyu Auction House.

Ruan Xihe held a folding fan in his hand and pouted unhappily.

She didn't want to walk either, but she couldn't just pull out her contracted beast and use it as a mount.

or...

Will she go to Darkmoon Grove to find a mount in a few days?

"Where are you going, young master? I'll give you a ride."

Suddenly, a luxurious carriage stopped beside her, the curtain inside the window was lifted, and a young girl's head covered with head ornaments popped out.

The girl's face was huge and full of fat. When she smiled, her eyes were deeply sunken in the flesh, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.

"Thank you, but thanks." Ruan Xihe nodded slightly at her, rejecting her words.

"I'm not in a hurry. Just tell me where you're going. I think you must be tired after walking for so long. Wouldn't it be nice to get in the car?"

"Really, no need. I'm just strolling around." Ruan Xihe wanted to get to the auction early and didn't want to get involved in any trouble.

"Okay then..." The girl retracted her head, with obvious disappointment on her fat face.

But the girl's coachman glared at Ruan Xihe fiercely, then drove the carriage away.

"Tsk tsk tsk, young master, it's a good thing you didn't go up just now, otherwise you would be finished."

A person suddenly appeared behind Ruan Xihe, pointed at the luxurious carriage that had not yet gone far, and smacked his lips.

As for what the man said afterwards, Ruan Xihe had no intention of listening.

Because there are more and more people in the city, she has to get an invitation before the auction starts.
