Chapter 3 Reborn
At this time, the sky was dark and there was only a bright moon in the sky.
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Xia Xiaoyuan hurried back to the slum along the dark street.
Xia Xiaoyuan did not set off immediately because he had already arrived at the time of the closed city gate. If he wanted to take advantage of the situation or find excuses to leave the city, he would be more suspicious. In contrast, the slums were the safest.
Anyway, my room doesn’t even have anything valuable, so it won’t attract others’ covetousness.
Back at the dilapidated hut, Xia Xiaoyuan first carefully observed the movements around him. After not finding anything unusual, he immediately took out the magical pill from the storage bracelet.
When the middle-aged man gave the pills just now, Xia Xiaoyuan focused on the cultivation weapon he had always dreamed of, and did not look closely. Only then did he find that the pill was light green all over. Before he could swallow it, he could smell a fragrance that penetrated the spleen and lungs.
"It's really an extraordinary product!" Xia Xiaoyuan sighed and put the pill in his mouth.
As soon as the pill was touched by saliva, it turned into a cool and sweet saliva. The liquid poured into the throat, making Xia Xiaoyuan feel the fragrance of his lips and teeth, and even his spirits were cheered up.
When this cool and sweet liquid flowed into the stomach and intestines, after only a moment, Xia Xiaoyuan felt extremely hot all over his body. A warm and hotter warm current quickly impacted his body. At the same time, he felt his bones were numb and itchy, and his body also had a light and pleasant feeling!
This state did not make Xia Xiaoyuan feel any discomfort. Not only that, it also made people feel very comfortable and enjoyable, and even wanted to make happy moans!
Xia Xiaoyuan, who was pressing down on the desire to scream, found some thick black and gray substances that began to excrete from the pores along the sweat, and more and more, even gushing out like spring water!
These fishy things should be what the middle-aged man calls impurities in his body!
During the process of eliminating impurities in the body, a soft and gentle feeling slowly spread throughout the body. Xia Xiaoyuan felt that his whole body and mind were relaxed.
Xia Xiaoyuan quietly felt the amazing changes brought to himself by this pill with the magical effect of cutting bones and marrow.
Xia Xiaoyuan, whose eyes became clear and bright, felt that his eyesight had increased greatly. In the dark night, he could still see the eaves and corners of the towering attic in the center of the city, as clear as what he saw during the day, and his ears could capture invisible sounds within a radius of 1,000 meters.
Not only has great progress in vision and hearing, but also has no inferiority in smell and taste. Xia Xiaoyuan found that his facial features have improved significantly compared to before!
Then, Xia Xiaoyuan, who felt as light as a swallow, started a physical test again and found that his flexibility, explosiveness, flexibility, and physical strength were significantly enhanced!
As a bone-cutting and marrow-cleaning pill comparable to medium-grade and strange-level weapons, Xia Xiaoyuan can clearly experience the huge changes in his current body.
It was not until dawn that Xia Xiaoyuan, who felt happy and comfortable, came to the most remote well in the slums until the impurities in his body were completely removed.
Xia Xiaoyuan no longer puts the well water into a wooden basin and wipes his body with hot water as before, but uses the cold well water in the wooden barrel to directly wash his whole body.
Now it is the season of biting cold wind, but Xia Xiaoyuan does not feel any chill, but instead feels very happy!
After washing his body, Xia Xiaoyuan realized that his rough and dark skin had become pink and white. All of this was indeed as the middle-aged man said, and he had undergone a complete transformation!
When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone on the earth, Xia Xiaoyuan, who had not slept all night, had no sign of fatigue in his expression. Instead, he was energetic and eager to try, because now he is finally qualified to practice weapons.
Of course, Xia Xiaoyuan did not intend to venture into weapons here, but walked towards the market not far away with relaxed steps.
Xia Xiaoyuan first filled his stomach, then bought a variety of flavors of juice and a large amount of jerky, vegetable cakes and other foods as dry food on the road, and then bought some changes of clothes for himself. Finally, he bought some essential supplies.
Since there is no air in the storage bracelet, Xia Xiaoyuan is not afraid of food and juice spoilage and rotting. In addition, the money in the bracelet is rich enough and the space is large enough, so he is not afraid of not being able to afford it or not being able to hold it.
Xia Xiaoyuan, who is used to being thrifty, did not spend money indiscriminately, but seemed generous in terms of food. After all, he is not short of money at all, and he does not need to save money to buy cultivation weapons. Naturally, he must supplement his own nutrition and lay the foundation for the upcoming cultivation!
After preparation, Xia Xiaoyuan strode towards the nearest city gate!
From afar, Xia Xiaoyuan saw a group of city guards equipped with armored swords at the city gate. They lined up and directly sealed the half-open city gate tightly, which was very vigilant!
Then, the civilians lined up in a long queue were allowed to leave the city after being searched by the Luo family guards.
Xia Xiaoyuan secretly complained in his heart!
These Luo family guards are not only served by guards in the outer courtyard, but also by guards in the inner courtyard as captains!
The inner courtyard guards are all skilled practitioners. If you find out that you have a storage bracelet that has stolen treasures and the corpse of a middle-aged man, then you will be unable to argue with them, and there will be many dangers!
Just as Xia Xiaoyuan was about to retreat and think of a response strategy before returning, a wave of intimidation came from beside him, and another group of Luo family guards who maintained order came!
Xia Xiaoyuan knew that at this time, retreating and hesitation would cause suspicion and increase the possibility of being discovered!
So Xia Xiaoyuan gritted his teeth, bit his teeth, straightened his chest, and walked towards the city gate!
While walking, Xia Xiaoyuan took out a wooden token representing the identity of the servants of the Luo family's outer courtyard and placed his hope on it, praying that they would not search themselves for their own personalities.
However, at this moment, the disputes coming from the city gate shattered Xia Xiaoyuan's fantasy.
With his superior vision, Xia Xiaoyuan looked into the distance and found that the civilian who wanted to leave the city was actually his colleague. Fang Han, a scholastic servant who was responsible for raising horses, feeding horses and cleaning horses in the Luo family's outer courtyard. He also held a wooden token in his hand and wanted to make the guards not to search!
Fang Han's wish was obviously vain. His timid eyes, trembling voice, and panic look made the guards even more suspicious of his bulging bag wrap.
The guards in the inner courtyard ignored Fang Han's defense at all and quickly cut Fang Han's bag with a sharp low-grade strange-level sword. They saw a large number of copper cups, silver cups, and gold coins falling heavily to the ground.
"A little traitor, he dared to steal money while the chaos was in trouble. He didn't want to live anymore. He took it back to torture first, and then tried it seriously. He must make sure that he could not survive or die!" The guards in the inner courtyard glanced at the eyes of the inner courtyard, and ordered.
Seeing Fang Han being forcibly dragged away, under the cold gaze of the guards in the inner courtyard, Xia Xiaoyuan felt as if he was in an ice cellar. Not only was his body numb and unconscious, but his thinking was frozen.
Under the urging of civilians in line behind, Xia Xiaoyuan almost fell to the ground.
"I can't give up! There is a way, there must be a way to get me away smoothly!" Xia Xiaoyuan took a deep breath of air conditioning, and then tried hard to exhale the turbid air, as if he could spread all his sorrow and fear.
Xia Xiaoyuan's eyes began to scan the surroundings, wanting to find flaws and advantages he could take advantage of.
Suddenly, Xia Xiaoyuan's eyes lit up. He ignored the continuous roar of "queuing up and maintaining order" from the Luo family guards, and resolutely ran forward.
"What do you want to do? Run the spot to kill!" A tall and thin guard appeared in front of Xia Xiaoyuan, blocking Xia Xiaoyuan's route!
Not only did Xia Xiaoyuan not panic at all, but instead smiled and greeted: "Brother Jun, don't you know me anymore? It's been a long time since you've been a guard of the city?"
The guard was named Lu Jun. He grew up in a slum with Xia Xiaoyuan since childhood, and then went to the Luo family's outer courtyard to serve as a servant. Due to his outstanding physical fitness and cleverness, he was lucky to be selected to the guards of the outer courtyard before he stayed for a long time.
Lu Jun looked at Xia Xiaoyuan carefully before suddenly remembering it and sighed: "Hey, it's your boy. I haven't seen him for several years. He has changed a lot. He has grown taller and stronger!"
Only then did Xia Xiaoyuan notice that his figure had become taller, it must be because of the pill.
At this time, Lu Jun said again: "How can it be so fast? I just came to maintain public order temporarily. If it goes well, I may enter the inner courtyard by the end of the year. Where are you working now and where are you going?"
Xia Xiaoyuan was very surprised and exclaimed: "Congratulations, Brother Jun is indeed as my father said, with a bright future and an unlimited future! I am still in the Luo family's outer courtyard, but there is something to do today, so I have to go home!"
After saying that, Xia Xiaoyuan took out an ordinary wooden token representing the Luo family's outer courtyard.
"Hehe, where, where! By the way, uncle is okay?" Lu Jun showed a bright smile and asked again under Xia Xiaoyuan's flattery.
Xia Xiaoyuan was slightly stunned. Didn’t he know that his father had passed away yet? He was happy and said with a frown: “It’s just not good, so he went home to check it out!”
"Then you have to go back quickly, stop queuing up, let's go, I'll take you out of the city!" Lu Jun pulled Xia Xiaoyuan's arm and pulled him and walked quickly towards the city gate!
Under the envious gaze of others, Xia Xiaoyuan followed Lu Jun closely and came to the inner courtyard guard who seemed fierce just now!
All emotional states such as worry, fear, nervousness, and hesitation cannot bring you any help, you can only face everything calmly!
Success or failure is here!
In this critical situation, Xia Xiaoyuan seemed very calm, put aside all negative emotions, kept smiling, and faced the upcoming difficulties!
"Captain, this is my brother and he also works in the Luo family. His father is sick, so please do it!" Lu Jun asked respectfully.
The guards in the inner courtyard put their sharp eyes on Xia Xiaoyuan and looked at them from top to bottom.
Xia Xiaoyuan felt like she was naked, as if the sharp eyes of the guard in the inner courtyard could penetrate the clothes and see through all his secrets!
In a blink of an eye, the sharp eyes of the guard in the inner courtyard became cold and shot directly into Xia Xiaoyuan's pupils.
Xia Xiaoyuan immediately felt like he was in the snow and ice, and even breathing became difficult, his smile became extremely stiff, his body was like he was weighing a thousand pounds, and his legs couldn't help but want to bend down!
This inner courtyard guard is using the power of a cultivator to put pressure on himself!
Xia Xiaoyuan instantly understood.
"I can't kneel! Even if I die, I won't kneel down at him!"
Xia Xiaoyuan gritted his teeth, veins all over his body burst out, and bones all over his body clattered!
Lu Jun said in a dissatisfied tone: "Captain, did you find it? He is my brother, don't go too far!"
"Hmph, you must know that if there is a mistake, I will be responsible! Let's go!" The guard of the inner courtyard smiled contemptuously and said.
Xia Xiaoyuan, in the eyes of the inner courtyard guard, has very perfect physical fitness, which is so perfect that it makes people jealous, so he feels like a test!
After the test, the guards in the inner courtyard were satisfied to find that Xia Xiaoyuan had no cultivation strength at all and could not even resist the most basic pressure, but he was not timid, nervous and afraid, and even had a tough attitude to resist. He should not have done anything wrong!
Since Lu Jun will be promoted from the current guard of the outer courtyard to the new guard of the inner courtyard, and the wooden token in Xia Xiaoyuan has no problem with the wooden token and has not carried luggage, the guard of the inner courtyard decided to sell this face!
When the inner courtyard guard removed the strong pressure, Xia Xiaoyuan immediately gasped!
"Damn, this guy dares to treat you like this. I will deal with him one day!" Lu Jun helped Xia Xiaoyuan for a while before cursing.
A trace of perseverance flashed in Xia Xiaoyuan's eyes, and he shook his head and said, "Brother Jun, it's okay, I have to go back quickly!"
Under Lu Jun's leadership, the city guards holding sharp swords no longer searched their bodies, and they let them go directly without any obstruction!
Xia Xiaoyuan waved to Lu Jun and said goodbye to leave.
"Hi, wait!" Xia Xiaoyuan had not taken a few steps before he heard Lu Jun's familiar voice coming.
Chapter completed!
