Chapter 1573
Hearing someone call out his name in surprise, Xiao Hua smiled and looked at the group of disciples coming out of the side chamber.
Among the many male disciples, there were twenty or so female disciples. They all had flower-like faces and were wearing colorful clothes. Not only did they attract Xiao Hua's gaze, the gazes of the hundred or so young male disciples also fell on them from time to time!
In front of the twenty or so female disciples, there were two female cultivators who were about the same height. One had a round face, round and smooth like a pearl, and the other had an oval face, looking elegant. The one who called out to Xiao Hua was the round and smooth Xue Xue.
Hearing Xue Xue call out Xiao Hua's name, the gazes of the hundred or so disciples all fell on Xiao Hua. The eyes of the cold and elegant female cultivator beside Xue Xue also flashed with a trace of astonishment.
Seeing everyone's gazes fall on him, Xiao Hua felt slightly uncomfortable. He couldn't help but raise his hand to touch his nose, and said with a bitter smile: "Xue Xue … long time no see, how are you?"
Seeing Xiao Hua's somewhat lazy movements, Xue Xue couldn't help but feel her heart beat faster. Her face was actually a bit hot, and her voice was much softer than before. She replied: "I … I'm very good, how about you?"
Seeing Xue Xue like this, the hearts of the surrounding male disciples became bleak. In an instant, their gazes were like flying swords, piercing Xiao Hua's body!
Xiao Hua looked around and sneered in his heart. He took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "Look at I's spirited appearance, how could I not be good?"
"Hehe ~" Not only did Xue Xue's face smile, but the surrounding dozen or so female disciples also covered their mouths and giggled.
"Hehe, Junior Sister Xue, is this the Xiao Hua you often mention?"
The cold and elegant female cultivator beside her also had a rare smile on her face. She moved closer to Xue Xue's ear and whispered.
"En, it's him!"
Xue Xue's voice was like a mosquito.
"This Xiao Hua is really amazing. Previously you said he was only in the middle of the tenth level of qi refining. Look, it's only been a little over a year, and he's actually … at the peak of the eleventh level of qi refining!" The female cultivator's voice was indifferent, but traces of competitiveness could be heard.
"Ah?
Is that so? "
As soon as Xue Xue saw Xiao Hua, her heart was filled with joy. How could she pay attention to his cultivation level? When she heard what her senior sister said, she promptly raised her head. Wasn't Xiao Hua at the peak of the eleventh layer of Qi Refining?
"Junior brother Xiao …" Right at this moment, another voice sounded from behind the crowd.
When Xiao Hua looked up, he saw Wang Yunxiao, Min Ge, Yuan Bo, and the others.
Xiao Hua looks at the dozen or so 65th and 66th layer Qi Refining disciples clustered behind these three people. He says with a smile: "Hello, three senior martial brothers!
Long time no see. Both of you are in the twelfth layer of Qi Refining. I'm truly envious! "
Wang Yunxiao took a few steps forward, cupped his fists and said, "Same here. We've all advanced from the middle of the eleventh layer to the middle of the twelfth layer, and Junior Martial Brother Xiao has also advanced from the middle of the tenth layer to the peak of the eleventh layer. Junior Martial Brother Xiao, you've made great progress!"
Xiao Hua cupped his fists in return and said, "That's incomparable, that's incomparable. I still don't know when I'll be able to step into the twelfth layer!"
Min Ge and Yuan Bo glanced at Xiao Hua, then shifted their gazes to Xue Xue and the other female cultivator. Seeing the two whispering to each other and occasionally glancing at Xiao Hua, their eyes were filled with displeasure. They glanced at each other again, then smiled and said, "Congratulations, Junior Martial Brother Xiao. You've finally broken free from the hardships of being a loose cultivator!"
"Hehe, congratulations to you too!" Xiao Hua didn't understand why they would mention loose cultivators like this, so he only replied with a smile.
Everyone came out of the side hall. Some people walked past Xiao Hua, but there were also quite a few people who stopped and looked at Xiao Hua and the others with interest.
But when they heard that Xiao Hua was a loose cultivator, their eyes immediately revealed a kind of disdain. They raised their pauses again and each of them dispersed!
Apart from a few younger disciples behind Xue Xue, the rest of the female disciples also left one after another. The cold and elegant female cultivator rolled her eyes a few times, then smiled and said, "Xue Xue, since you've met an old friend, you might as well wait here for a moment. I will return to Xun Lei Palace first."
"Don't ~" Xue Xue was a bit anxious. She grabbed the female cultivator's sleeve and said, "Senior Martial Sister Xue, don't be anxious. This disciple will leave after saying a few words to him!"
When Wang Yunxiao saw this, his gaze slightly swept over Min Ge and Yuan Bo. He cupped his fists and said to Xiao Hua, "Junior Martial Brother Xiao, you and I live very close to each other. Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, if you return to Fledgling Thunder Peak, you'd better send me a sound transmission talisman.
Your old friend is still here, so I won't take up any more of your time. "
With that said, he nodded and walked away.
Min Ge and Yuan Bo didn't seem to want to leave. However, when they saw that Wang Yunxiao had left, followed by a few male disciples, they also cupped their fists towards Xiao Hua with extreme helplessness. Then, they nodded towards Xue Xue and the others and left Xun Lei Palace. Before leaving, they viciously looked back.
But at this time, Xiao Hua didn't see it, because Xue Xue pulled the cold and elegant female disciple in front of Xiao Hua and said with a smile, "Xiao Hua, this is my senior martial sister. Her name is Xun Shu."
"Greetings, Senior Martial Sister Xue!"
Xiao Hua had a smile on his face. He bowed and said, "This disciple has seen Senior Xun Ming's elegant demeanor at Spring Thunder Palace. I really envy you all!"
"Hehe, how about Senior Martial Brother Xiao also enter our Xun Lei Palace?" A few female disciples behind Xue Xue, who looked exceptionally intelligent, said with a smile.
"Go, go, you all wait outside the palace!" Xue Xue waved her hand, looking like a senior martial sister.
"Hehe, yes, we will obey Senior Martial Sister Xue's orders!" Those female disciples smiled like flowers and ran out of Xun Lei Palace.
"Xiao Hua, I heard you went to the Eastern Ridge Herb Garden?"
Xue Xue blinked her large eyes and looked at Xiao Hua with great concern. "That place is so far away from Xun Lei Palace and also not close to Gen Lei Palace. Why did you choose that place?"
"The Eastern Ridge Herb Garden?"
Xun Shu was also stunned. Her beautiful eyes looked at Xiao Hua and said very strangely, "Wasn't that herb garden abandoned long ago?
Even if you want to look after the spirit herbs, you don't have to go to the Eastern Ridge! "
Xiao Hua scratched his head and said, "I don't know how to craft talismans, nor do I know how to refine pills. I also don't want to do other chores, so I naturally chose the easy job of looking after them.
Moreover, I was born as a loose cultivator. If others look down on me, I might as well stay far away from them and save myself the trouble! "
"Junior Martial Brother Xiao says it so easily.
I'm afraid you have ulterior motives, right? "Xun Shu said with a smile," Won't you know once you see Fellow Daoist Xiao's cultivation increase? "
"Oh?
Haha ~ "Xiao Hua laughed and didn't explain. He looked at the side hall behind Xue Xue and said curiously," This is my Zhen Lei Palace's Yan Lei Palace. You … Why did Xun Lei Palace's disciples come to listen to a technique imparting disciple's lecture? "
"Hehe!" Xue Xue covered her mouth and laughed. "Senior Martial Brother Xiao, have you never heard of a technique imparting disciple's lecture?
On the first day of every month, disciples of each Thunder Palace can go to other Thunder Palaces to listen to lectures.
Senior Martial Sister Xun had a sudden impulse, so we came to Zhen Lei Palace.
I didn't expect … "
"What and what?
Xue Xue … "Xun Shu retorted from the side." Wasn't it your idea to come to Zhen Lei Palace?
What does it have to do with I? "
"And you bumped into that Yuan Bo as soon as you arrived and even asked him about something in a low voice. So you were asking about this!" Xun Shu continued.
"Senior Martial Sister!" Xue Xue said coquettishly with a burning face.
At this time, at the entrance of Yan Lei Palace, several Xun Lei Palace's disciples who just went out poked their heads out and shouted, "Senior Martial Sister Xue, the palace sent a message telling us to go back earlier!"
Xue Xue heard and her face turned cold. She said to Xiao Hua, "The palace is urging me, so I won't say much to you. You … If you have nothing to do, send me a message too.
Last time … you actually didn't tell me you were in Dong Ling … "
"Haha, I was afraid of delaying your cultivation!" Xiao Hua touched his nose and laughed. "Just remember it in the future!"
"Okay!"
Xue Xue laughed and pulled Xun Shu's hand to leave quickly. She still turned her head halfway. "Don't forget!"
"I know, I know!
Go quickly! "Xiao Hua grinned and waved his hand a few times.
After leaving Yan Lei Palace, Xue Xue and the others flew into the air. Xun Shu suddenly asked in a low voice, "Xue Xue, this Xiao Hua … seems to be very mysterious?"
"Mysterious?" Xue Xue was slightly stunned and said very strangely, "I've known him for so long, but I didn't feel it?"
"Haha, you're in this mountain, so deep in the clouds you don't know!"
Xun Shu laughed. "Look at him, he doesn't even know that the disciples of the Thunder Palace are taught by each other. It's like this is the first time he came to Yan Lei Palace and he's never listened to the teachings of the senior brothers before.
Think about it, he's a loose cultivator, but now he actually used more than a year to cultivate from the middle of the tenth level to the peak of the eleventh level. Although he can't be considered outstanding in my Thunder Palace, it's still impressive!
If he's not mysterious, who is? "
Xue Xue shook her head. "Maybe his master taught him more?"
"Who's Xiao Hua's master?"
Xun Shu shook his head. "You also know that before we build foundation, our masters rarely give us pointers, and … he's a loose cultivator, so his master's pointers are even less!"
"Xiao Hua's master's name is Helplessness!" Xue Xue said. "Even if it's not his master's pointers, maybe it's his senior brothers!"
"Helplessness?"
Xun Shu was stunned, then the corners of his mouth rose. He said with a smile, "Then I know who Xiao Hua's senior brother is?"
"Who?" Xue Xue asked curiously. "Is his senior brother very famous?"
Then the two people's topic of conversation changed from Xiao Hua to Xiang Yang's story …
Back to Xiao Hua, after watching Xue Xue and the others leave, he took a step forward and walked towards a closed door on his left.
When he arrived in front of the door, Xiao Hua tilted his head to listen. It was very quiet inside, without any sound. So Xiao Hua stretched out his hand and gently pushed. The door quietly opened. Suddenly, a clear voice entered Xiao Hua's ears. Through the half-closed door, Xiao Hua saw a rather large side hall with several hundred disciples. These disciples were all sitting in a circle on the ground. In front of the center, a Foundation Building cultivator was sitting cross-legged on a praying mat. He was stretching out a hand and slowly forming hand seals. Listening to the cultivator's voice, it seemed like he was chanting some kind of spell.
Xiao Hua thought for a moment, then quietly walked in. He closed the door behind him and walked behind the outermost disciple. He also sat cross-legged and listened to the cultivator's lecture in front of him.
After listening for a while, Xiao Hua could tell that the cultivator was talking about the Minor Confinement Art. It was a spell that tenth and eleventh layer Qi Refining cultivators could use.
After talking for a while, the cultivator stopped and called a disciple to demonstrate. Unfortunately, that disciple didn't seem to be proficient. He waved his hand several times but still couldn't cast the Minor Confinement Art. Seeing bean-sized beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, the Foundation Building senior brother sneered and said, "Sit down. In the future, when you listen to lectures, you have to pay attention!"
When that disciple sat down with a flushed face, the Foundation Building cultivator unexpectedly looked at Xiao Hua.
"Oh no!" Xiao Hua was slightly startled. Sure enough, the Foundation Building senior brother pointed at him and said, "What's your name?
Stand up! "
Xiao Hua smiled bitterly in his heart. He stood up and bowed, saying, "Disciple Xiao Hua greets senior!"
"Are you a disciple of my Thunderclap Palace?"
"Yes!"
"Then that's strange. How come I have never seen you before?
Moreover … today, you actually came in right after I was about to finish my lecture. You … don't know I's temper? "
"That … disciple is on duty at the Eastern Ridge's medicinal garden. It's really too far from my Thunderclap Palace, so disciple asked for the steward's order to cultivate on my own in the Eastern Ridge!"
Xiao Hua said very apologetically, "This is disciple's first time listening to a lecture. I really don't understand senior's rules!"
"En ~" That cultivator obviously knew how far the Eastern Ridge was. He waved his hand and said, "Since you came, then you have to understand. Did you understand what I said just now?"
"Disciple understands!"
"Good, you can cast it and see!"
Hearing this, Xiao Hua waved his hand and deliberately made the wrong hand seal. That Minor Confinement Art naturally couldn't be used.
That cultivator shook his head slightly and gave a few pointers. Xiao Hua listened. It was precisely the part he made the wrong hand seal. After correcting it, he cast the Minor Confinement Art!
"En, not much. Your comprehension is quite high!"
That Foundation Establishment cultivator nodded and said, "Admittedly, you're on duty at the Eastern Ridge, but you also have to prioritize cultivation. If you have free time, it's better to come back and listen to lectures more often!"
"Yes, disciple understands!" Xiao Hua said respectfully.
"Alright, that's all for today. Ten days later, I will lecture on Palm Lightning again!"
Finished speaking, that cultivator stood up. All the disciples opened up a path and bowed, saying, "Respectfully see senior off!"
"Forget it!" That cultivator flicked his sleeves and walked out of the side chamber with quick steps.
Xiao Hua was right behind everyone, so he was naturally the first to come out of the side chamber. Seeing that cultivator walking towards the inner hall, he immediately ran two steps forward and said in a low voice, "Senior, disciple has something to ask!"
That cultivator turned his head to look at Xiao Hua and said with a smile, "If there's anything you don't understand about the technique I taught today, I can naturally answer. Previous ones?
Forgive I for not answering! "
"I dare not. Disciple just wants to ask senior where our Thunderclap Palace's Technique Imparting Pavilion is!" Xiao Hua said respectfully.
"Technique Imparting Pavilion?
What are you going there for? "
That cultivator looked at Xiao Hua and said curiously, "You haven't reached the peak of the twelfth layer of the Aura Refining realm, so it's still not the time to look for a technique, right?"
"Hehe, disciple just wants to look up some ancient books. Senior, please show me the way!" Xiao Hua said with a smile.
"En, follow I!" That cultivator turned around and said.
