Mind Cultivation Record

A dignified Yuan Ying ancestor was actually beaten to death...

Although no one has witnessed this incident, it is almost a fact.

At least since that day, no one has seen Mu Shangbai again.

From then on, all the monks in Nanyue Prefecture knew that there was not only a Nascent Soul Ancestor from Huangyan in Huoyun Ridge, but also a mysterious one - the Lord of Huoyun Ridge!

It is said that the Lord of Huoyun Ridge is neither human nor demon, and has extraordinary strength.

When you open your mouth, three-color spiritual flames appear, and when you open your eyes, you see the lapis lazuli magic light.

A mountain of flames can easily kill the ancestor of Yuanying.

For a time, the momentum in Huoyunling not only did not decline, but became even more grand.

The other casual cultivators who were still waiting on the sidelines completely abandoned their last concerns and came to Huoyun Ridge one after another. As for the various cultivators who had abandoned Huoyun Ridge in times of crisis, they also flocked to join the battle again. into the embrace of Huoyunling.

Huoyunling will not reject anyone who comes, and it will be a good place to live.

Seeing this, Xiao Mian did not enter Huoyun Ridge, but quietly left.

If Xiao Mian had to do everything in Huoyunling himself, that would not be what Xiao Mian would like to see.

Only if it can still function normally after being separated from Xiao Mian is the way to long-term peace and stability.

Xiao Mian did not intend to tie Huoyunling to him.

What's more, now that Qingjing has joined forces, Huoyunling is impregnable.

Even if the Five Elements Sect and the Luohua Valley come together to attack, I'm afraid they won't get any benefits.

The top priority is still the war in the East China Sea...

The most urgent thing is to rescue the Xiao Bailu brother and sister as soon as possible.

Using his horse, Xiao Mian turned around to Xuanwei Cave and reached Xiaoyaoyang.

This day was the third day deadline set by the person who kidnapped Xiao Bailu.

Xiao Mian first contacted Bai Yuxi, and as expected, Xiang Luming was also there.

Previously, the kidnappers had contacted Bai Yuxi and sent him the location of the ransom.

Deliver the spiritual stone with one hand and release the hostage with the other.

Not bothering to scheming, Xiao Mian directly pushed the storage bag containing 10 million high-grade spiritual stones in front of Xiang Lumen.

"You! Xiao Mian! What do you mean?"

"Senior! After all, Luohua Valley and Five Elements Sect both belong to the three sects of South Vietnam. You and your master are also close friends. You won't see my little junior sister make a mistake, right?"

"This...this is natural! But what do you want?"

"Please also come forward to redeem the junior sister and the two of you on behalf of the junior!"

"You want me to pay a ransom to redeem someone? Isn't that bad? What's more, with Qi Shao Bai here, in terms of cultivation level, it is beyond the reach of anyone! Besides, these tens of millions of high-grade spiritual stones are by no means a small amount. If anything goes wrong, it means selling it to someone..."

"Senior Xiang made a strong statement! Don't doubt the people you trust, and don't doubt the people you employ. Since I have entrusted this huge sum of money to Senior Xiang, even if something unexpected happens, I will not do anything to Senior Xiang. As for the Seventh Master, although he has cultivated Gao Jue, of course, is not suitable for exchange for hostages!" Facing Xiang Luming, Xiao Mian changed the subject: "Senior Xiang, is it possible that you are unwilling?"

"..., how could it be!" He grabbed those storage bags and immediately expressed his stance to Lu Ming: "Just like you said: Luohua Valley and Five Elements Sect are brother sects after all; Xiang and your master are also close friends. How can I refuse to save someone?"

"Xiao Mian will never forget your great kindness to our seniors!"

"It's easy to say! It's easy to say! Don't worry, Xiao Mian! You will definitely live up to your trust in someone!"

After saying that, Xiang Luming walked away with the huge amount of spiritual stones.

As a result, only Xiao Mian and Bai Yuxi were left at the scene.

"Xiao Mian! Aren't you crazy? Didn't you say that Xiang Luming was the most suspicious? And you asked me to keep an eye on him! Why did you ask him to redeem Chuqing when things got really bad?"

"If I can exchange tens of millions of high-grade spiritual stones for her safety, I will be willing to do so!"

"But...but what if Fang Yan doesn't trust him, and he won't let him go after receiving the ransom..."

"Then don't blame Mr. Xiao for being ruthless!" After a pause, Xiao Mian said calmly: "But come to think of it, Senior Xiang would not be so unwise!"

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens!"

"Master Qi! Are you interested in going out for a walk with me?"

With a casual smile, Xiao Mian had already walked out...

Bai Qiye was suspicious, but he still followed Xiao Mian and walked away quickly.

Besides, Xiang Luming was considered cunning. After getting hold of Xiao Mian's storage bags, he didn't go straight to the place where the hostages were exchanged, but wandered around nearby.

After confirming again and again that no one was following him, Xiang Luming felt relieved.

How did he know that among those spirit stones, there were already formless inner demons!

Using the formless inner demon as a guide, unless Xiang Luming abandoned the huge amount of spiritual stones, he would not be able to escape Xiao Mian's grasp even if he fled to the horizon.

Having said that, it was Xiang Luming who kidnapped Xiao Bailu and his sister!

On that day, Xiang Luming and Bai Yuxi were responsible for escorting the monks of the Beast Sect to Xiaoyaoyang. Bai Qiye entered the Xiaoyao Palace, while Xiang Luming was responsible for protecting the people.

It seems that Xiao Bailu was destined to suffer such a calamity!

By some mistake, the Xuanwei Formation Spirit teleported three members of the Xiao family to the East China Sea.

Although the three of them quickly realized where they were, the East China Sea was in the midst of an endless war, and it was thousands of miles away from the world of cultivation in Middle-earth.

With nothing to do, the three of them had no choice but to resign themselves to their fate.

I only hope that the three temples in the East China Sea will be destroyed soon, and the three of them can return to the Middle Earth.

With this idea in mind, Xiao Qingxia took Xiao Bailu and his brother and sister away from the central continent of Xiaoyao Ocean and found an uninhabited island to live temporarily on the edge of Xiaoyao Ocean.

I never thought that Xiao Qingxia worked so hard but failed to take into account the feelings of the two juniors.

At this time, Xiao Nanming had already entered the top level of Jindan, and Xiao Bailu had also cultivated to the middle level of Jindan. They were both young and energetic.

The reason why there was no one on the deserted island was that the concentration of spiritual energy was so thin.

The brother and sister felt that they were improving their cultivation, so how could they be willing to stay on the island?

The two of them planned to escape from the island without Xiao Qingxia, and go to the Central Continent of Xiaoyao Ocean. They also planned to go south to find Xiao Mian to join them.

They never thought that they would run into Xiang Liuming when they arrived at the Central Continent of Xiaoyao Ocean...

Xiang Liuming mistook Xiao Bailu for Xiao Chuqing.

That's why there were all kinds of things that happened afterwards...

Besides, Xiang Liuming at this time was carrying tens of millions of high-quality spiritual stones, and his mind was active.

Although he had done enough to cover up when he captured the Xiao brothers and sisters before, it was hard to guarantee that he had not revealed any flaws - if it was revealed later, it would be more trouble than gain.

Should we - do it once and for all?

Thinking of this, Xiang Liuming had already flown out of the central continent of Xiaoyao Ocean and entered the vast East China Sea. Suddenly, Xiang Liuming plunged into the seabed and disappeared.

As soon as he entered the sea, Xiang Liuming took out a teleportation array.

The array was activated, and Xiang Liuming disappeared...

It turned out that he had been rushing all the way before, and he was also deliberately setting up a maze.

The place where the Xiao brothers and sisters were really imprisoned was at the other end of the teleportation array.

Xiang Liuming was also cautious!

Even if someone was tracking all the way, without the teleportation array in hand, he could not track Xiang Liuming's destination at all.

Unfortunately, Xiang Liuming underestimated Xiao Mian and the formless heart demon!

Xiao Mian, who was heading towards the place where Liuming disappeared, suddenly stopped.

The signal sent back by the formless heart demon let Xiao Mian know that things had changed.

Although the teleportation array was convenient, the distance it could be transmitted was not far.

At that time, Xiao Mian was in charge of Wangxian City. Through the Wuxiang Heart Demon, he could remotely control the situation in the open sea 100,000 miles away. How could a mere moving array escape his eyes?

After a careful recollection, Xiao Mian found out the location of the Wuxiang Heart Demon.

Xiang Liuming was in the fourth island of Tongtianfang City!

There were people coming and going there, so it was no problem to hide two Jindan cultivators.

In order to avoid more dreams at night, Xiao Mian handed Bai Qiye a stool.

The two passed through Xuanwei Cave and appeared directly at the teleportation array on the shore of Xiaoyao Ocean.

With the guidance of the Wuxiang Heart Demon, Xiao Mian followed the map and went to the door.

Besides, Xiang Liuming at this time was also struggling whether to kill or not...

Just think about it again, Xiao Mian handed over tens of millions of top-grade spirit stones to him so cleanly, calling it trusting him, but in fact he might be doubting him.

If the Xiao brothers and sisters were safe, Xiao Mian would not be desperate to solve the problem.

If anything happens to the Xiao siblings, Xiang Liuming can't guarantee what will happen to Xiao Mian.

Forget it! Forget it!

This time, he captured Xiao Chuqing, first to vent his anger, and second to avenge the arrow shot at Huoyun Ridge that day.

Since Xiao Mian is so sensible, why should he force him to fight like a trapped beast?

Besides, with these tens of millions of top-grade spirit stones, it is enough for him to squander them well...

How could Xiang Liuming know that the tens of millions of top-grade spirit stones in his hand were exactly what Xiao Mian moved out of the cellar under the Baihua Palace in Luohua Valley the day before.

These tens of millions of top-grade spirit stones are only one-tenth!

What Xiao Mian spent during this period was just some effort!

However, Xiang Liuming had a plan, and immediately untied the restrictions on the Xiao siblings, pretending to be a senior master, and appeared in front of the Xiao siblings.

Poor two people didn't know that the person in front of them was the one who captured them.

Xiang Liuming talked nonsense, and the two people just thought he was their savior.

Fortunately, at this time, Xiao Mian and Bai Yuxi came to the door.

On the opposite side, Xiang Liuming's face was full of colors.

"Thank you for your help, senior! I know that if I go to senior Xiang, I will not fail! I just don't know where those thieves are?"

"This... they got the ransom and have already withdrawn! You..."

Xiang Liuming wanted to ask clearly: how did Xiao Mian find this place!

But Xiao Mian didn't give him this opportunity, he laughed and changed the subject.

As for the ransom of tens of millions of top-grade spirit stones, Xiao Mian didn't mention it at all.

The group left here and headed straight for the central continent of Xiaoyao Ocean.

Leaving aside Xiang Liuming who was worried about gains and losses, Xiao Mian had already contacted Xiao Qingxia, who was anxious, through the men of King Xiaoyao.

Xiao Qingxia was angry and pitied the three members of the Xiao family.

Only after the three of them discussed it, Xiao Mian brought up the old matter again.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao! This incident can be said to be caused by me, but I can save them once, but not again and again. Do you have any plans?"

"This... I wonder if Fellow Daoist Xiao can send us back to the Middle Earth?"

What Xiao Qingxia wanted most was to return to the Middle Earth and spend the rest of her life in peace.

But this time, Xiao Bailu and Xiao Nanming did not listen to her.

The brother and sister looked at each other, and Xiao Nanming expressed his thoughts.

"Aunt! Senior Xiao! May I ask if you two still keep your word?"

"Nanming! How can you be so rude to Fellow Daoist Xiao?"

"No problem! Nanming! If you have anything to say, just say it!"

"Senior Xiao! Although it was due to an unexpected combination of circumstances that day, you came forward to take over my position as the head of the Xiao family. But you once said at that time: If I am lucky enough to reach the top level of Jindan in the future, , you will transfer the position of the head of the Xiao family to me!"

"..., that's what happened! You also said that it was a mistake. Although you and I have the same surname, Xiao, I am not your eldest brother Xiao Nantian after all. My idea at the time was to first help the Xiao family overcome the current difficulties. , let me tell you everything to avoid misunderstanding! But now that Senior Xiao has become Yuanying, you naturally don’t need me to interfere with your family’s housework!”

Xiao Mian vaguely grasped Xiao Nanming's intention, but did not point it out.

Xiao Nanming turned to look at Xiao Qingxia, but stopped talking.

On the other hand, Xiao Qingxia's face changed several times and she sighed quietly.

"Nan Ming! I understand what you mean! I, the Xiao family of Lanling, have always passed it down from son to daughter! In my generation, because your father died young, your eldest brother died in a foreign country, and your cultivation is of no use. It was my aunt who temporarily took over as the head of the family! That’s why I changed my name to Xiao Qingxia and decided to never marry and protect the Xiao family from old age to death!”

"aunt!"

"Now that you have reached adulthood and have reached the top level of Jindan, it is time for me to pass on the position of head of the family to you, and it is up to you to support the Lanling Xiao family!"

With that said, Xiao Qingxia took out a jade pendant and handed it to Xiao Nanming.

Xiao Mian had seen that jade pendant before, it was the Jade Order of the head of the Xiao family.

At this time, Xiao Nanming hesitated...

His previous words and deeds were not intended to be the head of the Xiao family.

To put it bluntly, there are only three of them left in the entire Lanling Xiao family.

It makes no difference who is the head of the family.

Xiao Nanming was just afraid that Xiao Qingxia would imprison them on some uninhabited island, so he tried to hold the position of the head of the family in his hands to fight against Xiao Qingxia.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qingxia handed over the family head's jade order so simply.

Once Xiao Nanming takes over the jade order, he will be the new head of the Lanling Xiao family.

Xiao Nanming was not fully prepared for this change.

On the contrary, Xiao Qingxia is always looking forward to this moment...

"Nan Ming! Are you afraid that your aunt will pass on the jade order of the head of the family to you, so she will leave you alone? Don't worry! It was my aunt who saved others by herself and delayed you! In the future, wherever you want to go and whatever you want to do, my aunt will support you unconditionally. you!"

"Auntie! Are you serious about this?"

"With Fellow Daoist Xiao as witness, how can my aunt break her promise?"

After receiving Xiao Qingxia's repeated promises and seeing Xiao Mian nodding with a smile, Xiao Nanming took a deep breath and accepted the jade pendant of the head of the Xiao family.

From today on, he, Xiao Nanming, is the new head of the Xiao family!
