Chapter 153: Big Upgrade (8000)

"Impossible, it shouldn't be!"

"I don't think I've ever offended him, and this is the first time we've met."

"Although he seemed to be flirting with me just now, he ignored me and left, so he didn't cause any trouble!"

"But why is Mr. Xu's expression so ugly, his face turned black?"

He could see that when he finished saying that, Xu Bai's face became very ugly.

This was clearly visible to the naked eye, and even an ordinary person could tell here that Xu Bai was definitely in a bad mood at this time.

But why was this?

Jiang Tong was very sure that this was the first time he met Xu Bai, and he hadn't offended him, let alone done anything unreasonable, but the other party seemed to dislike him and was very disgusted.

"Let's go." Xu Bai ignored Jiang Tong and planned to leave with Ye Zi.

Jiang Tong couldn't figure out what he had done wrong. He gritted his teeth and finally took a few steps to block Xu Bai. He said, "Blood Slaughterer, this is the first time we meet. I don't think I have offended you. Why are you being so rude to me?"

Some things, if you don't ask or say them, are likely to become misunderstandings. The children of these big families have received a good education since childhood, and naturally understand this basic principle.

Even if Xu Bai doesn't like him, he must know the reason.

Can't he change?

Thinking of this, Jiang Tong just took on the huge pressure and didn't take a step back.

After Xu Bai heard the title again, a faint murderous intent rose up in his whole body. He looked at Jiang Tong and said in a bad tone, "I think you are innocent if you don't know, but there is no more than three times. If you mention it again, you'd better be careful of your head."

He is not a bad person, nor a good person, but he will not act casually and kill innocent people.

He knew that the other party called him by that title unintentionally, so he naturally wouldn't draw his sword immediately. However, he gave the reason. If the other party still called him by that title, it would be deliberately provoking trouble.

However, whether he drew his sword or not, the impression of the young man in front of him had already dropped a lot.

There is a saying called first impression, and there is another saying called first impression. The young man in front of him called him by his title when they first met, which directly affected Xu Bai's opinion of him.

When Jiang Tong heard this, he froze in place and didn't react for a long time.

"So... is that so?"

He finally understood that the powerful man in front of him didn't like his title, which was extremely rare in the martial arts world.

In the martial arts world, except for those extremely evil titles, most people don't mind their titles.

The word title is not given by oneself, but a kind of recognition in the martial arts world. It can be said that whoever has a title will get some recognition accordingly, so those who hang out in the martial arts world understand that this is a kind of recognition and honor.

But now the person in front of him, the favorite of the emperor, did the opposite and hated the title extremely.

After Jiang Tong understood the reason, he was ready to make amends, but when he saw Xu Bai was not interested at the moment, and thought of the time when Xu Bai and Ye Zi met just now, he thought about it and decided not to disturb him for the time being.

The other party is in a bad mood now, and disturbing him rashly will only bring misfortune to himself.

It is better to wait a few days until the other party calms down, and then he will go to the door to apologize, and he can also take advantage of this period of buffer to return to the family and communicate with the family.

From what he saw and heard today, maybe the family has something better than him as an apology gift for compensation.

"I am presumptuous, I apologize first, then I will not disturb you two, I will take my leave." Jiang Tong clasped his fists and said polite words.

Xu Bai nodded slightly, which was also an agreement. Without saying a word, he took Ye Zi and walked towards the city.

Jiang Tong stayed where he was until Xu Bai's figure disappeared at the end of the street, and then he finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground weakly.

The pressure just now was very strong, especially the terrifying murderous aura of the other party, which was fought out in blood and fire, not pretended, so he was under a lot of pressure.

"No, I have to leave quickly, return to the family, and tell the family about this matter. Such a big thing must be done as soon as possible." Jiang Tong thought secretly in his heart, and left the street quickly.

...

On the other side, Xu Bai led Ye Zi and walked on the street.

All the way, Ye Zi kept talking, as if there were endless things to say.

After the encounter just now, Ye Zi was now extremely excited, and she was jumping when she walked. Knowing that Xu Bai was not dead, she was only happy in her heart.

The two walked for a long time and finally arrived at an inn. Ye Zi pointed at the inn and chattered: "Young Master, the room has been opened, it's inside, and I haven't had time to leave yet."

Xu Bai smiled and touched Ye Zi's head.

Ye Zi led the way in front, and the two walked into the inn and found a room upstairs. Ye Zi then opened the door and let Xu Bai in.

As soon as they entered the room, the door was closed by Ye Zi. Then, Ye Zi hugged Xu Bai's waist from behind and hugged Xu Bai.

Xu Bai could feel that Ye Zi was trembling slightly at this moment, and there was a sound of sobbing.

"Sir, I thought I would never see you again."

"Okay, it's okay, I'm fine." Xu Bai held Ye Zi's hand and smiled.

Ye Zi did not let go, and hugged for a long time. Only after calming down did he let go, pulled Xu Bai, let Xu Bai sit down, and stood behind him, rubbing Xu Bai's shoulders.

This scene has become commonplace. Xu Bai has blurred his eyes, leaned his head on Ye Zi's chest, and enjoyed it quietly.

"Sir, I encountered something last night." Ye Zi thought of what happened last night and told him about it.

Xu Bai smiled and said, "These chickens and dogs have really learned to be smart. They know that ambushing me on the road is just a waste of losses. Now they have learned to gather together and come to the end to deal with me."

"Young Master, do you have a plan to deal with it?" Ye Zi tilted his head and asked curiously.

Xu Bai shook his head and said, "At present, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. There is no plan to deal with it for the time being, but we have to wait a few days. Maybe after a few days, there will be a way."

The other party did not make a move, and he could not find a solution, but it was not necessarily that there was no solution. He was now working on the progress bar of the wood carving.

After the progress bar of the wood carving was full, he would work on the fortune-telling book. With the help of the second-grade fortune-telling book and the trace-finding technique of paper-binding, he might be able to predict the enemy's moves.

Ye Zi heard this and knew that his young master must have a solution. He did not continue to ask and continued to press Xu Bai's shoulders.

The fourth-grade puppet standing beside him held the wood carving, allowing Xu Bai to look at the progress bar of the wood carving. The progress bar was slowly growing in his eyes.

It won't be long before the completion. What Xu Bai lacks the most is time. Now he just needs to wait slowly.

...

Time passed slowly.

This morning, Xu Bai got up early and went out to have breakfast with Ye Zi before returning to the room again.

After returning to the room, Xu Bai rubbed his waist.

Last night, Ye Zi was fierce.

In the room, the fourth-grade puppet was still holding the wood carving. The golden progress bar in front of Xu Bai was only a little bit away from completion.

After a few breaths, the last progress bar was finally completed.

Light blue smoke appeared, and in front of Xu Bai, it continued to condense, and finally condensed into a new line of text.

[You observe the wood carving and comprehend the change of the stars (change). ]

Xu Bai: "?"

He thought it was to comprehend the set of skills of the female master, but he didn't expect it to be a change of the stars, and there was a word "change" added at the end.

Change, what to change?

Xu Bai's face became a little strange, he seemed to have thought of something.

Sure enough, on that day in the cave, the female master really learned Dou Zhuan Xing Yi secretly. Not only did she learn it secretly, but she also completely simulated it, and even made changes based on the simulation.

"The geniuses in this world are really scary."

As a former genius, she was able to create a skill that could accommodate all kinds of professions. Now she can even improve Dou Zhuan Xing Yi. The female master is worthy of being the pride of the time.

Xu Bai couldn't help but admire it.

But admiration is admiration, he now really wants to know what new effects will be produced after the fusion of this skill.

Soon, the light blue smoke disappeared, and it was replaced by new light blue smoke, which gradually gathered in the air and turned into new text.

[Found a fusion option, fusion is in progress. ]

[Dou Zhuan Xing Yi + Dou Zhuan Xing Yi (modified) = transplanting flowers and trees. ]

[Fusion successful! 】

……

Xu Bai: “…”

He looked at the wood carving. Well, it was indeed a piece of wood, and the name was quite relevant.

The latest panel appeared.

…

Fuck!

Even with Xu Bai's current temperament, he couldn't help but curse.

He had no culture and couldn't think of many adjectives. Whether he was happy, angry, sad, or happy, he could only use "Fuck" to describe it.

After all, the two words "fuck" can represent most emotions. They are simple and straightforward, popular and understandable.

Level 8!

A true level 8 skill, equivalent to a level 2 skill!

Awesome!

As expected of the female master!

Xu Bai looked at this skill and even had an idea in his mind.

Isn't the female master still carving his image? If she can stay there, won't she be able to keep making money?

This idea is not unfeasible, but for now, Xu Bai can't find a way. He can't just run to the street and shout, right?

Besides, the female master can stay awake for a short time now, but if she goes crazy, won't he be unable to bear it?

"Alas, what a pity."

A wood carving can reach this level. If the female master learns his "transplantation" and carves a few more, she will really make a fortune.

At this time, the light blue smoke also turned into information and drilled into his mind.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Bai had absorbed all the information and completely mastered the skill of "Transferring Flowers and Wood".

After absorbing all the information, Xu Bai opened his eyes and nodded secretly.

The skill of "Transferring Flowers and Wood" is the same as "Fighting Stars Shift". Both can transfer the opponent's attack, whether it is a weapon or other, as long as it is an attack, it can be transferred.

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is what this means.

All skills below the second rank can be transferred!

But compared to the previous "Fighting Stars Shift", "Transferring Flowers and Wood" has a new effect. In Xu Bai's opinion, this effect is like a bug.

A simple sentence can describe this effect.

Transferring injuries!

That's right, it is to transfer injuries. Whether it is to transfer your own injuries or others' injuries, this skill is fine. As long as the injuries are not too serious, or not beyond the second rank, there is no problem.

I know how to heal.jpg

"This may be the qualitative change of the second grade, just like my sword intent."

Xu Bai guessed that perhaps the female master wanted to transfer her madness, so she studied in this direction, but after all, there were still defects, so it was not completely successful, and she could only be awake for a short time.

Or in other words, only a part of it was transferred out, and a large part was not transferred out.

Xu Bai touched his chin and thought to himself: "Can I take a special method to turn this skill into an attack method?"

As a traverser, a flexible mind is a necessary condition. Xu Bai's thinking is also very jumpy. Soon, he found a flexible use of this skill.

Transplanting flowers and trees also needs to be close before it can be used.

But in certain situations, it can be used as an attack method. For example, Xu Bai cuts himself with a knife and then transfers his own injury, then...

He himself has a very strong recovery ability, and cutting himself with a knife is a piece of cake.

"Isn't this the real anti-armor?" Xu Bai thought to himself.

Don't say it, the current situation is quite similar.

With the new skills, Xu Bai felt more at ease, and his mentality became extremely comfortable.

"Hurry up."

Time waits for no one. Although he has no shortage of time, he will not waste it. Xu Bai took out the second-grade fortune-telling book from his arms, looked at the empty progress bar on it, turned to one of the pages, and continued to work hard.

This second-grade fortune-telling book may be useful later.

Xu Bai temporarily gave up the nameless sword scripture and planned to work hard on the progress bar of the fortune-telling book first. After all, he still needs to rely on this thing to find the person behind the scenes, which is the most important way at present.

Just had this idea, not ready to start.

The next moment, someone stood outside the door and knocked on the door gently. The knock was very soft, and stopped after knocking three times, as if waiting for Xu Bai to answer.

"Who?" Xu Bai frowned.

He was unfamiliar with this place, and had never been here before, but now someone came to the door, and Xu Bai was very curious about who it was.

As Xu Bai asked this question, a voice came from outside the door, slightly loud and full of heroism.

"Master Xu, I am the head of the Jiang family. I am sorry to bother you. I hope you will be magnanimous."

Jiang family?

Xu Bai touched his chin. He didn't seem to know this person, and he had never had any specific contact with him. But since he had come to his door, he also winked at Ye Zi.

Ye Zi put down his hand, walked to the door obediently and opened it.

After opening the door, a sturdy middle-aged man stood outside.

This man was wearing thick clothes all over his body, but what was exposed outside was extremely strong.

He looked very ordinary, and his body was almost all muscle. Xu Bai could feel that the strength of his body was indeed quite good, but he still didn't recognize him.

Xu Bai touched his chin, put his hand on the table, and said with interest: "Who are you, sir, and what do you want to see me for?"

The head of the Jiang family clasped his fists and said, "A few days ago, my son offended Lord Xu. He was blind. I came here specially to apologize to Lord Xu."

Xu Bai heard the other party say this, and then he remembered what happened. It turned out to be the young man that morning.

To be honest, he almost forgot about that person in the past few days. After all, he was very busy every day, and forgetting one or two insignificant people was not a big deal for him.

"It turned out to be the head of the Jiang family. I didn't expect you to be so polite and come to apologize. This is a bit unexpected for me." Xu Bai smiled.

As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling person. The other party was so polite. Xu Bai himself was soft-hearted and didn't take hardship. Of course, he wouldn't turn his face away.

The head of the Jiang family didn't expect Xu Bai to be so easy to talk to.

After all, in this world, most of the legends about Xu Bai are negative, such as cruel and ruthless, such as moody.

But the young man in front of him behaved in a friendly manner, which was completely contrary to the legend in the martial arts world.

Not only that, in his eyes, the young man in front of him, whether in temperament or demeanor, was the best choice, and the whole person gave people a feeling.

—— Gentle as jade, but sharp as a knife.

Looking at the young man in front of him, his age was similar to his own son, and the head of the Jiang family couldn't help but think of his son. After such a comparison, he felt that his son...tsk tsk.

"Come here! Bring those two people to me!" The head of the Jiang family turned around and shouted to the outside of the door.

Outside the door, several servants came in, escorting two men who were tied up.

The two men were dressed in rags and were covered with various scars. Obviously, they had been tortured before coming.

"What do these two people mean?" Xu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly.

The head of the Jiang family stretched out his hand, pointed at the two men, and explained: "Lord Xu will definitely face difficulties and obstacles along the way. I am the head of the Jiang family in Fenghuazhou. I know Fenghuazhou very well. These two people are the ones who are going to assassinate Lord Xu."

"But unfortunately, they are weak and their status does not seem to be high. I guess they don't know much."

"Before I caught them, I tortured them severely, but these two guys are still very stubborn."

"So I brought them here specifically to see if Lord Xu has any way to find out their clues."

After the two wounded men appeared, they immediately saw Xu Bai and trembled.

But they kept silent all the time, obviously, they didn't want to say anything.

Xu Bai took the tea handed over by Ye Zi, took a sip, and then put down the teacup, looked at the two men with interest, and stood up from his seat.

Two people who wanted to assassinate him, this was beyond his expectation.

Unexpectedly, a big gift came not long after I arrived. Although the authenticity of this gift has yet to be verified, if you want to know whether it is true or not, you only need to try it.

"So, I will start to try it." Xu Bai stretched out his left hand: "Master Jiang, if you leave now, you don't have to get involved in this matter."

This is a hint.

If he leaves now and Xu Bai accepts this gift, then the conflict between them will be written off.

If he doesn't leave, he will be involved in this matter, which will be dangerous.

Of course, there are benefits. After Xu Bai enters the capital, the emperor will definitely reward these people. There is no doubt about it.

"Although Jiang is a warrior, he has always been righteous. Of course, he is willing to stay here." Master Jiang said righteously.

Righteous ass!

These family heads can make a name for themselves in a state larger than a prefecture. Which one is not a spirit?

Obviously, this master Jiang wants to make a fortune, that is, to stand in Xu Bai's team.

But many times, some words can be seen through, but cannot be spoken out. If they are spoken out, everyone will be embarrassed.

"Oh, I didn't expect that I could meet such an upright person. I really admire your righteousness. It's a pity that you don't become a scholar." Xu Bai climbed on the shoulders of the head of the Jiang family, looking very grateful.

The head of the Jiang family: "..."

Although everyone said some polite words, he always felt that Xu Bai was talking too much. Alas, never mind, it is necessary to stay here anyway.

Xu Bai let go of his hand, then looked at the two men covered in wounds, and smiled: "Don't say it?"

The two looked at each other and kept silent, obviously intending not to say it.

"Then..." Xu Bai was about to speak.

Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by them before he could say it.

"Blood Slaughterer, don't waste your thoughts. We know your torture method. We have already used special means to cut off our pain." One of them said with disdain.

Xu Bai's eyebrows were throbbing with veins: "Blood of your uncle!"

He drew out the black knife from his waist, flicked his finger, and the blade of the black knife vibrated slightly, and then a special rhythm echoed in the room.

The two men with disdain on their faces suddenly froze, their eyes became dull, as if they had entered a special state.

"Now, tell me everything you know." Xu Bai said indifferently.

The head of the Jiang family next to him was stunned when he saw this scene.

He was also very knowledgeable. Although he was just a martial artist, he could see that this was a spiritual practice.

Hiss...

The head of the Jiang family took a breath of cold air. As expected, as the legend in the martial arts world said, this Lord Xu practiced a lot, and practiced all three categories of spirit, energy and spirit.

It's so fucking terrifying!

He could reach such a realm by practicing a lot. If he practiced alone, he would probably have left them behind.

Of course, now is not the time for him to be surprised. He also wants to know who is behind Xu Bai.

The two men with injuries all over their bodies had dull faces. When Xu Bai asked this question, they all raised their heads and stared at Xu Bai with dull eyes.

"Say, why don't you say it?" Xu Bai continued to ask.

The two wounded men still stared at Xu Bai without saying anything.

Xu Bai frowned.

He always felt that something was wrong. Just now he was sure that he had controlled the other party's soul, but the other party didn't say a word.

"Sir, is there a possibility that they don't know anything?" Ye Zi asked quietly.

Xu Bai shook his head and said, "Even if they don't know anything, they can still say a few words, not like now."

The scene fell into silence. In fact, Xu Bai is stronger in terms of soul ability now.

But even he couldn't figure out what was going on, and the people present were even more helpless.

Xu Bai thought about it carefully and tried to cancel the control of the soul.

In a blink of an eye, the two wounded men returned to normal. They looked at each other with a look of fear on their faces.

Although they didn't know what happened just now, they always felt a sense of fear.

"There is no problem with the soul." Xu Bai said, "Do you two know nothing?"

The two men didn't speak.

"It's a bit prickly." Xu Bai said.

It's a bit prickly indeed. These two guys have been cut off from their sense of pain by a special method. Torture will definitely not work.

Shenhun didn't know why, and couldn't get any information.

It seemed that all the roads were blocked suddenly.

But... it's not without a solution.

Xu Bai walked around the two people and said, "Give it a try."

A paper crane flew out of his hand and landed on the two people, but it immediately turned into ashes after landing on them.

It's useless to look for traces.

Seeing this scene, Xu Bai frowned even more and thought to himself, "It seems that I can only wait for fortune-telling."

In this situation, other methods are useless, so I can only try fortune-telling.

Doesn't he still have a trick for fortune-telling? As long as the progress bar of the fortune-telling book is full, maybe he can calculate something useful.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai planned to let the head of the Jiang family keep a close eye on the two people.

Unexpectedly, before he could say this, a voice suddenly came from the surroundings.

"Kacha!"

The sound was very crisp, coming from the two men on the ground.

The next moment, the two men suddenly twisted.

Looking from Xu Bai's angle, he saw something unusual. There seemed to be translucent threads at the joints of the two men.

The translucent threads were hung high, but there was no end, only about half a meter long.

And as these threads appeared, the two men stood up under the control of the threads, and their expressions became extremely strange.

A paragraph came out of the mouths of the two men.

"Their spirits are all here with me. What you control is just a trace of residual soul. How can you ask?"

Xu Bai was stunned, and then a cold light flashed in his eyes: "You are the most courageous person I have ever seen."

From the current situation, the two men were controlled, and the sound just now was not the consciousness of the two men, but came from the people behind him.

This was the most arrogant he had ever seen. He dared to face him when he first came to Fenghuazhou, although it was not face to face.

"Heh, courage depends on who you are with."

The controlled man made a gloomy voice.

"I never thought that your deterrent power could make a family willing to be a running dog, tut tut tut..."

"Xu Bai, I'll give you a chance, how about that?"

"Tomorrow night, come to the third floor of Chunyu Pavilion in Fenghuazhou, the room closest to the inside, I have something to tell you."

At this point, in front of Xu Bai, the two men's eyes actually bleed.

The two men just stood on the ground, losing their breath of life, and the silk thread connecting their joints disappeared completely.

The field fell into silence, and everyone was silent.

The face of the head of the Jiang family turned very ugly. This was like a slap in his face.

He had gone through great pains to find these two people. He originally wanted to use them to get closer to Xu Bai, but he didn't expect that he was used by the other party.

The other party almost used him to contact Xu Bai.

This was very embarrassing.

The matter was not done, but he lost face.

"Master Xu, I..." The head of the Jiang family wanted to speak.

Before he finished speaking, Xu Bai raised his hand to stop him.

"Don't mind, I already understand your painstaking efforts. Since the matter is beyond expectations, I will not blame you for everything." Xu Bai said.

The head of the Jiang family let out a long sigh: "Thank you, Master Xu, for your magnanimity."

Xu Bai said lightly: "Master Jiang, things are a bit complicated now. I need to calm down alone. I will visit you another day to thank you for this great gift."

After saying this, the head of the Jiang family also understood that Xu Bai had issued an order to expel him. It was indeed the case. With such a big thing happening, it was not good for him to stay here for long.

"Master Xu, I'll leave first. If there's anything you need me for, I'll do anything for you." The head of the Jiang family bowed.

After that, he left in a hurry with his servants. Before leaving, he took the two bodies on the ground away.

After they left, Ye Zi closed the door with his backhand, turned around, looked at Xu Bai with a frown, and walked in front of Xu Bai.

"It's okay, let me think about it." Xu Bai said.

Ye Zi shook his head, squatted down gently, put his hand on Xu Bai's knee, raised his head, and looked into Xu Bai's eyes.

"Sir, although I don't know who is behind the scenes, looking at the situation today, I may be able to guess what he does."

Ye Zi's voice was very soft.

Xu Bai was slightly stunned, and then he remembered that Ye Zi had more knowledge than himself, and he was specially trained by the Ye family in various knowledge.

When they were in Fengling Mansion before, Ye Zi also saw a lot of things clearly and helped Xu Bai a lot.

If he could know the other party's business, maybe there would be some clues to be discovered.

Ye Zi stood up, put his hands on Xu Bai's shoulders, and slowly leaned close to Xu Bai's ear...

Time flies, flowers and trees are replaced, ah ah ah ah! What name will be given next! ! ! ! !
