lead fades away

Qingshi's boat attracted the attention of everyone on the island before it landed. Xinyi, who was familiar with him, ran directly to the shore, and stepped forward to salute the boat as soon as it landed.

"Junior Brother Qingshi, you have also completed the trial safely." The joy on Xinyi's face was not fake.

"It's not finished now, there's still one day before we can go out, right?" Qing Shi jumped ashore and put away the boat while answering.

"On the last day, as long as you go to this island, it will be over. This is an unwritten rule." Xinyi blinked, pretending to hint.

"Are you familiar with this place?" Qing Shi was not in a hurry to see the array, and stood on the shore with Wang Shuo in his arms, chatting with Xin Yi.

"This is the fourth time I've come here." Xinyi smiled lightly, "I don't have the talent like you, junior brother, so I can only fight around looking for opportunities. Ah, speaking of which, why are you here, junior brother? I saw it at the door. When you saw me, I was really shocked!"

"Don't mention it, there are a lot of things this year, so I forgot to calculate the contribution value, but my aunt and Elder Han are unwilling to let me go through the back door, so I have to come here for some kind of trial." Qing Shi pouted.

"With the strength of my junior brother, what is a trial in the fairyland? Fairy Fengxi and Elder Han Shuo believed in you before letting you in." Xinyi smiled affectionately, and casually glanced at the hope in Qingshi's arms. Shuo asked casually, "This spirit beast looks strange, could it be that Fairy Fengxi or Elder Han Shuo newly bestowed it on Junior Brother?"

One sentence from Xinyi gave Qingshi a better idea, she immediately nodded and said, "It was the reward from Elder Han."

"Elder Han is really kind to my junior brother." Xinyi said enviously, "I don't know what kind of spirit beast this is. I'm ignorant, so I can't recognize it."

"Elder Han didn't say anything, he just said that this little guy can protect me and let me take it with me." Qing Shi laughed.

At this moment, Wang Shuo muttered, "This woman smells like blood."

Qingshi didn't answer Wangshuo, just brushed its fur with his hands, and then walked towards the middle of the island.

There is not much scenery on the small island, a few dwarf trees grow sparsely around, and there is a rather large stone platform in the middle.Qing Shi stepped onto the stone platform, and immediately saw the teleportation circle engraved in the center of the stone platform.At first glance, this magic circle is not complicated, but thinking of Master Wangshuo's hobby of making formations within the formation, he dared not be careless, and carefully observed the runes in the formation, for fear of missing some details.

"Junior is interested in this magic circle?" Xinyi, who was following behind Qingshi, asked.

"That's all I like, and it's not like you don't know about it." Qing replied without turning his head.

"I forgot, the younger brother is also very talented in formations." Xinyi's praise was mixed with some strange feelings.

Qing Shi heard her strangeness, but was not interested in answering her.At this time, the people who came to the island ahead of time were Qi-refining monks with similar cultivation levels as Xinyi, and he didn't need to greet him or be vigilant. In addition, there was a fierce beast Wangshuo in his arms, so he boldly deduced Look up the teleportation circle in front of you.

Xinyi winked and didn't say any more, but Qing Shizai looked at it carefully for an hour, but she didn't see anything special about this magic circle, it was just a simple teleportation circle, there was no No additional restrictions, nor any abnormal runes.Qing even felt that as long as he input enough spiritual power, he could now activate the magic circle and leave this place——

— By the way, spiritual power!

Qing Shi suddenly realized.If there is anything unusual about this magic circle, it is that it lacks settings for inputting spiritual power or placing spiritual stones.It is not impossible for such a magic circle to exist, but most of it depends on the material of the magic circle itself. When the spiritual power of the material used to construct the magic circle is exhausted, the magic circle will be destroyed and discarded.However, the magic circle in front of him is obviously usable, so the source of its spiritual power is a problem.

Qing Shi turned his eyes to the stone platform carrying the magic circle, and soon raised the corners of his mouth.

"How about it, can I go out?" Wang Shuo finally couldn't help but ask.

Qingshi didn't dare to make a sound, just patted Wangshuo on the head, and gave it a no-problem gesture.Qingshi really wanted to study this stone platform, but after careful consideration, he still gave up the idea of ​​cutting the stone platform and bringing it back. He was afraid that if he accidentally damaged the stone platform, the magic circle would be completely abolished, and he would even be taken out with him. don't go.

——Let’s go back and figure out the magic circle outside!

He lightly comforted himself.The aura inside this Void Realm is in a self-sufficient and balanced state, but the teleportation circle here can only be opened once a year, which to a certain extent shows that the source of the spiritual power of the magic circle is not inside the Void Realm.But it is also impossible to rely on monks to transmit their own spiritual power to open, otherwise there will also be a time limit.After much deliberation, there was only one option left - the magic circle outside could absorb the surrounding spiritual energy by itself. Perhaps, the magic circle was built on a spiritual vein, just like Han Shuo's cave.

Qing Shi was immersed in the deduction and memory of the magic circle, when Wang Shuo in his arms suddenly let out a low growl.Qing Shi was startled, and then heard the sound of the spirit weapon breaking through the air, a very familiar sound.

—They also came so early?

Qing Shi pouted slightly, hugged Wang Shuo tightly, and continued to "watch" the magic circle on the stone platform calmly.

Xia Yuchuan and Wang Xiaobo quickly landed on the small island, but as soon as they touched the ground, the little beast in Wang Xiaobo's arms struggled in horror, and Wang Xiaobo also immediately felt the little beast's emotions, and immediately turned his eyes to the light Varied.

"What's wrong?" Xia Yuchuan asked suspiciously.

Wang Xiaobo's emotions seemed to be heavily influenced by his spirit beast, he couldn't even open his mouth so nervously, he just kept staring at Qingshi.

Qingshi here also thought of playing a prank for a while, patted Wangshuo's butt, put its front paw on his shoulder, and Wangshuo showed his head from Qingshi's shoulder in a flash, Looking at Wang Xiaobo, there was a bared tooth.

"Ah——" Wang Xiaobo screamed immediately holding his spirit beast.

The other fellow students around immediately looked at him, but Wang Xiaobo ignored their gazes, grabbed Xia Yuchuan who was beside him suddenly, and with all his strength, raised his finger to Qingshi's shoulder, "That, that..."

At this time, Qing Shi also hugged Wang Shuo, and turned to look at Wang Xiaobo and Wang Xiaobo, so Wang Xiaobo's finger pointed directly at Qing Shi himself.

Qing Shi suddenly lowered his face, "My nephew, what are you doing?"

"No, no..." Wang Xiaobo quickly put his hands behind his back.

"Sorry, Junior Brother Yan." Xia Yuchuan called out Qing Shi's identity, and at the same time shielded Wang Xiaobo behind him, "This little Junior Brother has no malicious intentions, I think it's just that the spirit beast in your arms frightened his spirit beast. Not intentionally rude."

"Is my spirit beast that scary?" Qing Shi raised his eyebrows in displeasure.

"Junior Brother's spirit beast is too timid, Junior Brother Yan forgive me." Xia Yuchuan smiled and apologized, then cupped his hands to Qingshi, and dragged Wang Xiaobo to a little distance away.

"This guy is quite new, do you know Junior Brother Qingshi?" Seeing Xia Yuchuan and Wang Xiaobo walking away, Xinyi immediately moved to Qingshi's side and asked in a low voice.

"I haven't seen it in Wufeng, I guess he is a disciple of a certain elder." Qing Shi said indifferently, "Why, are you interested in him?"

"I don't dare to climb high." Xinyi shook her head hastily.

"Then restrain your curiosity." Qing Shi said coldly, "Also, haven't you heard that I am called my nephew, and you still call me my junior brother? Is this to give you face or to slap someone else's face for me?"

"I..." Xinyi didn't expect Qingshi to change her face suddenly, and she froze on the spot.

"Weigh your identity before you speak, don't think you can open a dyeing house if you get three points of color." Qing Shi gave Xin Yi a pointed glance, then ignored her reaction, turned and walked to the side Under a tree, she took out the futon and sat down with Wangshuo in her arms.

Xinyi couldn't figure out why Qingshi changed his face, so she cautiously didn't follow.On the other side, Xia Yuchuan and Wang Xiaobo seemed to have reached a conclusion. Wang Xiaobo stayed where he was holding his little beast, while Xia Yuchuan himself walked towards Qingshi.

"Junior Brother Yan." Xia Yuchuan smiled and cupped his hands.

Qingshi didn't even get up, but leaned against the tree trunk behind him, raised his head, and looked at Xia Yuchuan suspiciously.

"I'm Xia Yuchuan, a disciple of Zhenjun Hengchu." Only then did Xia Yuchuan remember to introduce himself.

"Senior Brother Xia." Qingshi didn't change his attitude because of his identity, just nodded, and then replied with a still indifferent attitude, "Since you know my surname is Yan, you also know the origin of my identity if you think about it."

"Fairy Fengxi's nephew and nephew, Elder Han's celebrity." Xia Yuchuan was not angry either, and squatted down with a smile, making eye level with Qingshi, "Did you catch this spirit beast in the fairyland?"

"Does it look like it?" Qing Shi asked back.

"It's hard to say, it looks quite obedient." Xia Yuchuan said and reached out to touch Wangshuo's fur.

Of course Wang Shuo would not let him touch it, so he opened his mouth and bit his finger.Xia Yuchuan was also prepared, and when Wangshuo moved his head, he quickly withdrew his hand, but even so, Wangshuo's sharp teeth hurt his nails.

"Uh, it seems that I'm not as obedient as I thought." Xia Yuchuan was not angry because of this, but smiled self-deprecatingly.

"The nephew who is with you is from the fifth peak, right? You should learn more from him how to get along with spirit beasts." Qing Shi shrugged and said calmly.

"You know him?" Xia Yuchuan asked.

"There are still a lot of contacts between the five main peaks." Qing Shi replied meaningfully.

"It's just that I'm lonely." Xia Yuchuan smiled and turned his gaze to Wangshuo again, "Let me tell the truth, Junior Brother Yan, I am very happy for you as a spirit beast, I wonder if Junior Brother is willing to give it up?"

"I'm afraid you will be disappointed, Senior Brother Xia." Qing Shi smiled slightly, "This spirit beast was bestowed by the elders, and I have no control over it."

"Oh, it's Fengxi..." Xia Yuchuan raised her eyebrows.

"It's Elder Han." Qing Shi corrected, "This spirit beast is given by Elder Han for temporary use, and it will be returned after leaving this place. If Brother Xia really wants it, why don't you ask Elder Hengchu to come forward with my family after you go back? Elder Han discusses."

Xia Yuchuan was speechless for a moment.Qing Shi's words are really a run on people, Xia Yuchuan agrees or refuses.Refuse, it is tantamount to not giving Han Shuo face, bullying Han Shuo's disciples; agree - what kind of spirit beast can provoke the elders of Huashenqi to come forward, isn't this a disguised form to show that the spirit beast is of great value?

"It seems that I have no fate with it." Xia Yuchuan sighed with regret.

Qing Shi smiled, but didn't answer.

Xia Yuchuan couldn't find any other topics for a while, so he simply stood up, bowed to Qingshi, turned and walked back to Wang Xiaobo's side.

——Han Shuo is indeed an excellent shield.

Qing Shi lowered his head and smiled at Wang Shuo.

Wang Shuo saw that Qingshi wouldn't talk to it here, so he ignored Qingshi and bared his teeth in Wang Xiaobo's direction, scaring the little beast into panic again.

"Enough is enough." Qing Shi patted Wang Shuo's butt, then leaned against the tree trunk, closed his eyes and meditated.

As Xinyi said, everyone was fine after landing on the island, either chatting with acquaintances, or recuperating alone like Qing Shi.During this period, Xinyi tried to strike up a conversation with Qingshi several times, but she was frightened away by Qingshi's indifferent eyes, and An Hengping, who had never appeared, also made Xinyi panic, and the eyes she looked at Qingshi gradually became more suspicious.

Finally, when it was time to leave, the teleportation circle on the stone platform slowly flickered, and above the circle, an exit like a flower in a mirror and a moon in water gradually condensed.

"The time has come, please come back quickly!!!" Daoist Qixin shouted from the other end of the exit.

Qingshi had been waiting for this moment for a long time, as soon as Qixin's voice sounded, he had already stood on top of the magic circle with Wangsuo in his arms, becoming the first person to leave the fairyland.

The scene in front of him flashed, and the familiar Xian Chumen appeared in front of Qingshi, and the surroundings were the same as before entering, standing the Wufeng Peak Lord who was maintaining the magic circle.

"Junior brother, please step aside quickly!" Before Qingshi could do anything, the disciple on duty who was maintaining order had already opened his mouth and shouted.

Qing Shi hurried out of the magic circle, and at the same time attached a sound transmission talisman under a concealment talisman and sent it out.

After doing the little tricks, Qing Shi raised his head and looked around, besides the five peak masters and their on-duty disciples, two people from the stewardship hall also came.To Qingshi's surprise, Ximen Hao was also there, standing with the people in the steward's hall.

Sensing Qingshi's gaze, Ximen Hao raised his head and glanced at Qingshi, then nodded and smiled.

Qing Shi also smiled back generously, then turned to ask the disciple on duty beside him, "Senior brother, is there any follow-up matters?"

"Junior Brother, wait a moment, you can leave after everyone comes out." This person obviously recognized him, and he answered very politely.

"Yes, I see." Qing Shi thanked this person, and then stood aside with Wang Shuo in his arms.

Wang Shuo also obviously started to get nervous, holding his breath and leaning against Qing Shi's arms, trying his best not to attract the attention of others.But it doesn't really make sense to do so, Qingshi is the first one to come out, it already attracts attention, and there is another spirit beast of unknown species in its arms, no matter what it will attract everyone's attention.It's just that not all the people have come out yet, everyone's attention is still in the portal, and they can't tell what to worry about.

The number of people who went in was not too many, and the number of people who came out was even less. The foundation building period was reduced by four, and the Qi refining period was reduced by almost half.The peak masters who did not have any disciples to participate in this trial, such as the first peak Qixin and the second peak Mengsen, had a calm expression; those who had disciples participated but came out safely, such as the fourth peak Fengxi and the fifth peak Qi Ji, When the disciples came out, they relaxed their expressions; while some disciples participated but never came out, such as She Ji of the third peak, their expressions were very exciting.

But no matter what the five Golden Core monks thought, they couldn't change the speed of time.The circle of light on the magic circle gradually dimmed. Even if the five monks worked harder to input their spiritual power, they couldn't maintain the smaller and smaller exit above the magic circle.

When the light on the teleportation circle completely dissipated, the entrance to Wuxia Wonderland also completely disappeared.The five peak masters sighed in unison, and turned to look at the people who had returned safely.

"Wait..." Daoist Qixin was about to speak, but suddenly the coercion of a huge spiritual sense surged from the sky. The disciples in the Qi refining stage with low cultivation bases immediately couldn't stand still, and the others also looked up in panic.

—It came just in time.

Compared to the panic of others, Qing Shi let out a long breath, patted Wang Shuo in his arms, and walked out of the crowd.

The uninvited guest who gave off coercion and panic was none other than Han Shuo. He stepped on his long sword and stopped on top of the crowd, sternly looking at the crowd below.After seeing the unscathed Qingshi, he was stunned for a moment, but still put away the long sword, landed beside Qingshi, and then looked at him suspiciously.

Qingshi knew that Han Shuo was startled by his sound transmission talisman "Come and pick me up quickly", but when he rushed to see him safe and sound, he naturally had doubts.

"Elder Han, I lost Wang Wang's spirit beast ring." Qing Shi made a pitiful look, half-explained and half-acted, stuffed Wang Shuo into Han Shuo's arms, and squeezed Han Shuo's palm.

After all, the two have communicated "intimately" many times, and they have a considerable understanding of each other's character.Han Shuo immediately saw that something was wrong with Qingshi, so he didn't say much at the moment, he directly took over Wangshuo, and then turned his head to Qixin Daojun who was still surprised, "Is the trial over?"

"Ah, it can be regarded as the end." Daojun Qixin quickly replied, "If nephew Qingshi doesn't need to hand over the task with the steward, he can leave now."

Only then did Qing Shi understand why the people in charge of the affairs hall appeared here. Obviously, they were afraid that these disciples would be plotted against after taking good things back. It is better to collect the part that should be handed over to the public first, and the rest will be robbed or stolen. Even if it is ruined, the inside of the door will not be damaged.

"Need it?" Han Shuo looked back at Qingshi.

Qing Shi immediately shook his head.

"Then let's go." Han Shuo was about to take Qingshi away when there was another movement in the sky.

Everyone looked up again, but it was a Nascent Soul cultivator who came with two disciples' imperial weapons.

— Ruan Xi!

This person is the third disciple under Zhenjun Hengchu's seat, but he has advanced faster than the two senior brothers in terms of cultivation. He is now a Nascent Soul cultivator in the Xianchu sect, and an elder of the inner sect who is in charge of the first hall .Qing Shi once saw this person in the stands of a big competition in the sect, because he was young but full of white hair, Qing Shi took a few extra glances and remembered his appearance quite clearly.

——Han Shuo came just in time.

Qing Shi thought about it, but turned to Xia Yuchuan on the other side.

Xia Yuchuan had been paying attention to him all the time, but now he smiled, showing an ambiguous expression that you understand and I understand.

——If Han Shuo hadn't come, would they really plan to rob him?

Qing Shi slandered in his heart, but his face was calm, his eyes paused for a moment on Xia Yuchuan's face, and then quickly moved away, putting on a leisurely look that had nothing to do with him.
