After hearing this, Su Chen finally retreated. I don’t mean to reject Qiu Ruoshuang’s kindness. But if you take these things yourself, the effect will not be too obvious. For me, this doesn't mean much and I won't get much benefit from it. This is a bit of a waste of resources. Qing Yuan was also stunned when he heard Su Chen's explanation. "Master Su, have you already reached the fifth level of perfection?" Qingyuan followed Qiu Ruoshuang and saw many geniuses. She even often follows the most outstanding warrior in Jin State. But the speed of improvement demonstrated by Su Chen really amazed her.
Before Su Chen and Qiu Ruoshuang met, he was only at the fifth level. That was the initial stage of reaching the fifth level. How long has it been? Qiu Ruoshuang's strength didn't seem to improve so fast before. Su Chen’s answer left Qing Yuan stunned for a long time. She probably didn't expect that after she said those words, she would get such a response. Before Qingyuan came, he actually thought that Su Chen would refuse. It was just a reason for declining, I didn't expect it to be like this. After hesitating for a while, Su Chen gave a slight reminder. Qing Yuan spoke again. This time, she took out the third item Qiu Ruoshuang gave her, which was still a map. “Sister Shuang once went here to look for treasures and found something mysterious there. Since Mr. Su doesn't need the first two items. Then please accept this item. If one wants to take one step forward in the fifth level of perfection, the difficulty may be the sum of the difficulties of the previous practices. Even if there is no obvious improvement after going here to gain some experience, Master Su will definitely gain a lot. Su Chen accepted this gift calmly. Su Chen also received some news from Qingyuan. Qiu Ruoshuang will return to the Qiu family in the near future, but after returning, she will probably practice in her own courtyard. Talk about martial arts with the elders of the Qiu family and other people.
Only after all matters have been completely dealt with will he turn his attention away from martial arts. Qing Yuan's words actually misinterpreted Qiu Ruoshuang's meaning. Qiu Ruoshuang has been in seclusion for so long, and there is no telling how many things in the Qiu family need her to deal with. The main reason she returned to the Qiu family this time was to deal with some matters. Solve the important things. Naturally, more of the free time is spent on practicing martial arts. Qiu Ruoshuang meant that she went back mainly to deal with some things. To be honest, Qingyuan seemed to be going back to the Qiu family and continuing his practice in seclusion. Almost everything that needs to be said has been said. Su Chen and Qing Yuan bid farewell and left. Before leaving, Qingyuan handed Su Chen a jade pendant. It is not a token of Tianxuan Town, but should be another token of Qiu Ruoshuang. This token allows Su Chen to use this box when he comes to Xiayu City in the future. Of course, you can use the other private rooms in this restaurant whenever you want. After coming out of the restaurant, Su Chen didn't think much about it. Just follow the instructions on the map and go to the location Qiu Ruoshuang mentioned. There is nothing to do right now. If it weren't for what happened today, Su Chen would have to spend some time looking for an opportunity to gain experience. Now it seems that I have saved some time. During this period of time, many forces in Jin State were actually looking for Su Chen. After the Alchemy Expo in Xiayu City, Su Chen’s influence was too great. The craft of making jade elixir did not come from Qilou and Liulige. At least after Su Chen's demonstration that day, anyone with eyes capable of seeing that Su Chen's skills were far superior to those of the two sects. That day, Su Chen announced to the public that he would no longer have a close relationship with Zhu Minggong. Since that day, there have been too many forces looking for opportunities to make friends with Su Chen. And secretly, the State of Chu has already sent people to investigate secretly. The alchemist from Chu State who returned that day told the Chu court about the Alchemy Exhibition. As the Chu court had some ideas, it would of course make plans for this matter.
As long as Su Chen can go to the State of Chu. No matter which force it is, they can offer extremely favorable conditions. But it is difficult to find Su Chen's trace now. They have good intentions but are powerless. No matter how good the conditions were, Su Chen didn't give them a chance to negotiate. Su Chen also knew what situation he was facing now. There is no way I can accept invitations from strangers. It is impossible to say whether there are people from Wulan Villa among these strangers. This is also why Su Chen still did not show up after learning that many people were looking for him. According to the map. The location of this training is in the northeast of Jin State. To be precise, it should be the northeastern border. According to Qingyuan's reminder, that area was still the territory of Jin State at that time. But over the years, it has fallen and been occupied by monsters. So when Su Chen went to that place, there were still many things he needed to pay attention to. Safety will be a big issue. Nowadays, Su Chen's strength level has already entered the fifth level, and he is even about to reach the realm of transformation. With the monster's keen sense of smell, Su Chen is no longer the weak warrior who was easily ignored. When facing monsters on your own, the main advantage is no longer being able to walk past them without being spotted. Just relying on the destiny of [Good Monster Hunter], I can have better insight than them. Can pull them out from further away. But if you get a little closer, they will also be aware of your presence. As a big country, Jin State conducted in-depth research on monsters, much more thoroughly than Zhou State. But there are still many difficulties on the border, and some lands will be occupied by monsters. This also shows that the problems facing Jin's border are somewhat serious. Su Chen headed all the way to the northeast. We were stopped in a nearby city when we were still some distance away from the border. Tell Su Chen that there is a demonic disaster near the northeastern border.
Tell Su Chen not to go over there for the time being, as the fighting over there has become increasingly intense. If other people rashly barge in and are not hurt by the monster, it would be even more unlucky if they are accidentally hurt by their own people. Su Chen found an opportunity halfway, walked forward for half a day, and took a look. Indeed, there is a large number of celestial demons active in the northeast. The slightly better thing about these celestial demons is that they do not travel in groups. At least they all fight alone, which makes them relatively normal celestial demons. Unlike the ones we encountered last time, the celestial demons were grouped together. Seeing this situation, Su Chen finally decided to rest here for a while. After the situation stabilizes a little, we will go into the wilderness to gain experience and improve ourselves. With the celestial demon wreaking such havoc, he couldn't calm down and focus on improving his martial arts. During the time Su Chen was waiting, Qiu Ruoshuang had also returned to the Qiu family. Qiu Ruoshuang likes to keep a low profile. In the Qiu family, apart from the core members, the Qiu family elders are the backbone. Others are unaware of this. Qiu Xingchuan is now also the core of the Qiu family, so he naturally knows the news of Qiu Ruoshuang's return. And he also had some things in his hands that he needed to discuss with Qiu Ruoshuang. Before leaving, Qiu Xingchuan and Qiu Xiyu mentioned this matter. Tell her that I'm going to talk to Qiu Ruoshuang about something. When Qiu Xiyu learned the news, he pulled his father aside and emphasized it from beginning to end. What exactly do we need to talk about? Those things are the most important and must be discussed. Which details can be ignored. This kind of caring attitude made Qiu Xingchuan feel helpless. It seems that his daughter is not that interested in practicing formations. Fortunately, Su Chen is good enough and capable enough. If it were any other playboy, he would definitely get angry and curse. "Don't worry, your father is in charge of such a big business, and he can handle so many things. Can't I handle these little things of yours?" Qiu Xingchuan brushed Qiu Xiyu off with a few words and went over first. Qiu Ruoshuang doesn't have much time, so she won't leave much time for him.
If Qiu Xingchuan doesn't go over and isn't there when it's his turn to discuss things, then he won't have that opportunity anymore. Qiu Ruoshuang's current strength has reached the level of unity. It is the only state of unity that the Qiu family can reach. Apart from her, only the ancestor of the Qiu family has such strength. With such strength, Qiu Ruoshuang's status will naturally move up. It is impossible for her, who has reached the state of unity, to still need to do some unimportant little things. In this world, the status of a sect is largely determined by the strength of the warriors under its command. The Qiu family’s current status is largely due to the contributions of the powerful people in the Guiyi realm. The reason why the Qiu family has such a high status nowadays is because they have added a powerful person in the Guiyi realm. Everyone knows that in the next hundred years, the Qiu family will remain as prosperous as it is now. Qiu Xingchuan walked to the westernmost side of the Qiu family mansion. The quiet courtyard here is Qiu Ruoshuang's courtyard. She has a lot of things to deal with today. These are the matters that have piled up during the period of her retreat. "Master Xingchuan, please rest here for a while. Sister Shuang is still talking to the elders." Outside the quiet courtyard, besides Qiu Xingchuan, there were already a few other people waiting here. There is even a reception tea room built here for people to rest and wait. Seeing Qiu Xingchuan, the few people who had arrived here earlier and were waiting hurriedly stood up and saluted him. Those of them who are younger and not at a high enough level naturally have to give way. We can only wait and let Qiu Xingchuan go to see Qiu Ruoshuang first. Sitting in the tea room, Qiu Xingchuan didn't feel that there was anything wrong. got used to. It was almost the same before Qiu Ruoshuang was promoted to the Guiyi Realm. Now Qiu Ruoshuang’s position in the Qiu family is even more important, and the number of people who come to her to discuss matters will only increase, not decrease. After about a quarter of an hour, Qiu Xingchuan was able to enter the yard. The elder in front was quite quick this time and did not make Qiu Xingchuan wait that long. When he came to see Qiu Ruoshuang before, he even waited for more than an hour. In the attic of the courtyard, the servants downstairs had already brewed a new cup of tea for Qiu Xingchuan.
After a brief greeting, Qiu Xingchuan began to talk about business. “In the direction of the northern border, although we dealt with the group of celestial demons last time. But in the past year, the disaster caused by the heavenly demon has come again. The threat is not that big, and it can be stopped by investing more manpower. After all, the celestial demons do not exist in groups. But human power is limited after all, and we cannot always fight with human power. Monsters always have a huge advantage because they have the wilderness at their backs. They can launch a surprise attack whenever they want and have all the initiative in their hands. There is still a way to use formations to solve the problem on the northern border. This will free up some manpower for us, as people will get tired eventually. It's been so tense, no one can bear it." Qiu Ruoshuang, who was sitting opposite, nodded. She did not respond directly to this matter, but asked Qiu Xingchuan. "I heard that Xiyu has already obtained the status of an eighth-grade formation master?" "After some twists and turns, I finally got through it." Qiu Xingchuan smiled. He was still very proud of his daughter's achievements. At this age, he has attained the status of an eighth-grade formation master. Even if his achievements are not as good as those achieved by Qiu Ruoshuang, they can still be praised in the Qiu family. Hearing this, Qiu Ruoshuang showed a look of approval on her face. "Xiyu has been a very smart child since he was young, and the formation has extremely high requirements for practitioners. Concentration, manual dexterity, and comprehension all require excellent skills. At such a young age, he has already achieved the title of 8th Rank. I think the strength of the Qiu family’s formation will be greatly improved in the future.” Qiu Xingchuan felt very comfortable hearing Qiu Ruoshuang's praise, and it was very helpful to him. There are many people who praise Qiu Xiyu, but when someone as capable as Qiu Ruoshuang praises him, even if the words are the same, his feelings are different. “My cousin meant that I need to go and intimidate the monsters in the north, giving the formation masters in the clan a stable time and space to set up the formation. do you mean this? " After a round of praise, Qiu Ruoshuang also responded directly to the point. As soon as Qiu Xingchuan said those words at the beginning, she had almost guessed what her cousin was going to say. Hearing this, Qiu Xingchuan nodded repeatedly.
"It depends on when you are free, Ruoshuang, please come with us. The formation layout belt we have currently selected has been completely cut off by the monster. If we rely on masters of the realm of transformation to retake that area, there is a high probability of suffering losses. After much thought, I still hope that Ruoshuang can come forward. I think it would be better to not let other members of the clan take risks." Qiu Ruoshuang nodded. This is the meaning of the existence of the Guiyi Realm. As long as she walked to the border of the wilderness, the celestial demons would consciously stay away from her. "I'll check the time here. Once I have time, I'll send someone to talk to my cousin." Qiu Ruoshuang agreed, and she thought it was a good idea. The Qiu family obtains a lot of resources from the imperial court every year. Correspondingly, you also have to make great contributions in order to convince the public. The problem on the northern border must be solved by the Qiu family. Qiu Ruoshuang also hopes that this matter can be handled smoothly and no one will be hurt, which would be best. After finishing the serious business, Qiu Xingchuan talked about some trivial matters. These are things that Qiu Ruoshuang can handle in the clan mansion, and Qiu Xingchuan is just informing her. Otherwise, when Qiu Ruoshuang comes into contact with her later, she will know nothing and be unclear about anything. Before leaving, Qiu Xingchuan finally mentioned something about Su Chen. "Oh, right, Ruoshuang I have one more small matter here, which is a private matter on my side. Please help, Ruoshuang." Qiu Xingchuan felt a little embarrassed. He could see that Qiu Ruoshuang was very busy. He came to ask Qiu Ruoshuang to do these small things. (End of this chapter)
