Chapter 996: Return to Harbor City
From Ye Wuya, Xia Liu learned about some hobbies and habits of Sage Qingjue.
This is something he needs to remember.
But there is one more thing to pay attention to, which is the six pillars of Shu Mountain!
The six pillars symbolize six directions.
Sage Qingjue has six closed-door disciples.
They are named after the six pillars in the sword array, and their lifelong mission is to perfect the six-pillar sword array to protect Shu Mountain.
To meet Sage Qingjue in the inner sect.
The six pillars are a test that Xia Liu must go through.
Six cultivators at the eighth level of qi cultivation, forming a sword array like six pillars.
Ye Wuya informed him of the key to breaking the formation.
He needs a spiritual artifact.
Ye Wuya pointed out that the Flowing Fire Sword is a middle-grade spiritual artifact.
As long as one's cultivation reaches the eighth level of qi cultivation, coupled with the Flowing Fire Sword, they can break the six-pillar sword array.
Xia Liu was somewhat skeptical about this.
But for now, he can only take one step at a time.
If he can't use Ye Wuya's method to break the formation, then he will try his own way.
The nearest entrance to Shu Mountain, where people going for the Shu Mountain test will gather, is in Qingniao District, Lingfeng City.
Xia Liu still has a month left to prepare.
This time, he cannot fail.
Just like before when he went to Harbor City, to help Guo Man fully integrate into this family.
He must obtain a high-rank technique from Sage Qingjue.
In the early morning, Xia Liu quietly slipped out of the room.
Walking on the grassy paths under the green shade, he called his sisters far away in Osmanthus Village to report his safety.
And informed them of some arrangements.
Perhaps today he will send Guo Man back to Harbor City.
Ouyang Lingtian, who was doing his morning exercises, saw Xia Liu and went up to chat with him.
It had been a long time since they had such a pleasant conversation.
In the past few months, they have been busy with their own affairs.
The distance had grown farther.
But their friendship hadn't diminished at all.
"Are you really planning to enter the Northern Sichuan Mountain Range?"
Ouyang Lingtian asked finally, that mountain range had given him many unforgettable memories, even now, he still shudders at the thought.
"Of course, do you want me to bring you some specialties from the Northern Sichuan Mountain Range?"
Xia Liu joked.
"Specialties? What it produces is fog, you better be careful, there might be many toxic gases hidden in the mist, along with beasts lurking in the darkness."
Ouyang Lingtian wasn't joking with Xia Liu.
Since this guy was determined to go, he could only share his experiences with him.
"Don't worry, I've even swallowed deadly poisonous herbs, what's a little fog to me."
"True, I heard from Ye Xuan that such level of poisonous herbs can instantly destroy a cultivator's divine sense, the fact you can still stand shows you are extraordinary."
"Haha! Next time I visit, I suppose you'll be at the fifth level of qi cultivation, your talent is quite impressive indeed."
Xia Liu laughed continuously, those poisonous herbs were indeed very toxic, if he had been discovered by the old man a bit later, he would have perished.
"Next time for sure, but compared to this freak, I can only follow behind you."
Ouyang Lingtian was puzzled, every time he saw Xia Liu, this guy had always advanced.
Even though there was a foundation before, now that it's sealed, how can there still be such terrifying talent for advancement?
"By the way, how are you solving the problem of cultivation?"
Ouyang Lingtian suddenly remembered Ye Wuya's words.
To break the six-pillar sword array of Shu Mountain, one must have cultivation of at least the eighth or ninth level of qi cultivation.
Strictly speaking, Xia Liu is currently only at the seventh level of qi cultivation.
In such a short time, how can he breakthrough to the eighth level?
"Don't worry, I can level up to the eighth level of qi cultivation in no time."
Xia Liu's lips slightly curled into a smile, boosting his strength was truly too simple for him.
From the peak of the seventh level to the eighth, he just needs to lightly tear the seal open.
Lightly tearing it, he should be able to control it.
But he still needs to be careful, if he gains the chance, he might level up on the way.
No one knows what will happen in the next moment.
"Oh boy! I don't want to talk to you anymore, I'm going to train, you go play in the mud!"
Ouyang Lingtian leapt and ran off.
What kind of person is this.
Talking about leveling up and just leveling up.
This is forcing me not to stop.
"Haha, next time I visit, let's chat again."
Calling after Ouyang Lingtian's figure, Xia Liu turned around and went back.
Once he reached the room, he noticed Guo Man packing her bag.
Xia Liu immediately went over to help: "Little Man, not planning to play in Yanjing for a few days?"
"No, I'd rather go back early..."
"Harbor City?"
"Yes, back to Harbor City."
Guo Man nodded and continued packing her clothes into the bag.
Seeing Guo Man's indifferent attitude, Xia Liu felt a dark cloud over his eyes, could it be his insistence made her have thoughts, using this way to force him, making him not take risks?
"Hey! What are you thinking, I'm just going back to handle the company's matters, then head to Osmanthus Village, planning to live together with my sisters from now on."
"Ah! So that's the case."
Xia Liu suddenly perked up.
"What else did you think!"
Guo Man looked at Xia Liu, baffled, wondering what this guy is always thinking about round the clock.
Did he hit his head yesterday?
"Haha, what else could I think, I thought my little beloved wife ran away!"
Xia Liu swiftly pulled Guo Man into his arms.
Causing Guo Man to struggle intensely, then toss him a glare: "It's more like you're thinking of dumping me!"
"Good heavens, how could that possibly be!"
"Impossible is good, go tell Miss Ye, then accompany me in Harbor City for a few days, after which you can go spend more time with your sisters."
"Oh oh, I'll go talk to Boss Ye now."
Following Guo Man's instructions, Xia Liu informed Ye Xuan, who immediately arranged for a helicopter.
After filling their stomachs, Xia Liu and Guo Man boarded the helicopter heading to Harbor City.
During this trip to Harbor City, Xia Liu met Guo Fanghua.
She didn't stay long in Osmanthus Village.
After seeing her daughter's happiness, she returned.
Now the Guo family no longer needs her to worry.
While her daughter was away, she seized the operation of the Guo Family Group.
Xia Liu stayed in Harbor City for five days.
During these five days, he remained by Guo Man's side.
Accompanying her during work, meals, and even rest.
But he didn't cross that line.
When leaving Harbor City, Guo Man had Zhuge Yingtian send someone to fly over in a helicopter.
Before parting, the farewell was marked by a tearful and passionate kiss.
Guo Man knew that after this farewell, Xia Liu would soon enter that terrifying mountain range.
Heading to that unknown location of the Shu Mountain Sect.
The things he has to face are beyond her prediction.
She silently prayed in her heart.
Meanwhile, she would strive to transfer the Guo Family Group to high-level talents to stabilize and secure the group.
Once arranged, she would go to Osmanthus Village, to go meet her sisters, to go accompany Xia Liu...
