C12

These few days, in the Scripture Hall.

As usual, Xu Zongyi focused on cleaning the books and cabinets.

There were a few kids from the Autumn Battlefield Academy discussing, and their voices just happened to be audible to Xu Zongyi.

"Have you guys heard of the trial of the Heart Nurturing Valley?"

"Of course, I heard that the reward this time is no small matter."

"What do you mean?"

"I heard that if you can get first place, even if you want to remove the imprint of the sinner's blood, you can still get a pardon."

"It's said that I can make a request to the Patriarch?"

"It's all rumors, right? How is that possible?"

"No matter what, this time's trial will be very rewarding."

When Xu Zongyi heard this, he was extremely excited.

Even in his dreams, he wished to erase the word 'sin' on his face. Now that there was such an opportunity, he naturally would not let it go.

The first thing he did was to find Xu Changping.

"Senior Brother, I want to participate in the Heart Nurturing Valley's trial." Xu Zongyi arrived at a corner of the Scripture Hall, where Xu Changping sat cross-legged, reading a book with an unrelenting hand.

"Right now, there are many plants that grow extremely well in the Heart Nurturing Valley. However, there are also many strange beasts and insect pests. This trip will take around forty-nine days. Do you dare? That place is even more dangerous than the training grounds of the Great Hall. " Xu Changping asked with a smile.

"Of course!" Xu Zongyi was agitated in his heart. He paused for a moment before saying with a frown: "But my Marrow Washing Grass has no one to take care of it. This is a problem."

"Don't worry. With senior brother here, I guarantee that nothing will happen. If you want to participate in the exam, I will naturally support you. Remember to get a good ranking." Xu Changping agreed and did not stop him.

"That's great, thank you senior brother." Xu Zongyi was extremely grateful.

"You should prepare well. This trip is not without its dangers. You must be careful in everything you do. Do you understand?" Xu Changping spoke with earnest sincerity. After this period of time, he treated Xu Zongyi like he was his own little brother.

"Got it." Even now, he could feel the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth seeping through the pores of his body and seeping into his muscles bit by bit. He believed that given enough time, he would be able to step into the realm of drawing in energy into his flesh.

"This is for you. Take it with you." Xu Changping took out a crystal clear ring.

Xu Zongyi took the letter and looked at the character carved on it: "Chen."

His heart skipped a beat. "Could it be that this item is related to Father?"

One had to know that his father was called Xu Chen.

"What's the use of this ring?" Xu Zongyi was a little doubtful.

"This is a magical equipment. Can you use the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to test it?" This item was something Prime Minister Xu had asked him to hand over on his behalf.

Xu Zongyi's pores expanded and contracted as he channeled the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the ring. Suddenly, a thirty meter wide space appeared within. "Great! I can finally obtain my own spatial artifact!"

"This item is extraordinary. As your strength increases, you'll be able to discover even more secrets." Xu Changping smiled mysteriously.

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Xu Zongyi thanked him profusely.

"Go. Gather in front of the Earth Hall in three days. You are allowed to do nothing. Cultivate well and prepare ahead of time." Xu Changping waved his hand.

Xu Zongyi immediately returned to his bamboo house and took away all of the Purple grade Body Strengthening Rice, as well as the pots and pans, all of them into his spatial ring.

It would take some time before they left. Before leaving, Xu Zongyi would irrigate a lot of water from the terracotta pots that he had turned into water for the Marrow Washing Grass and the Erotic Rose Flower.

In these three days, he practically cultivated day and night.

The spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth seeped into his muscles through the pores of his skin, as though they were being pierced by needles.

Training was accompanied by pain.

Xu Zongyi felt that it would be much more difficult for him to cultivate than others. It seemed that it would not be easy for the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to fuse with his own muscles.

In these three days, besides cultivating, he was also watering. Of course, Xu Zongyi also did not forget to look for information regarding Heartbreak Valley from the Scripture Hall.

The Heart Nurturing Valley was located in the south of the Xu family.

It was one of the farmers' valleys that belonged to the Xia Family. The things that were planted here were all related to the mind and had people overseeing it all year round.

As these plants were growing, they would attract a lot of strange beasts like snakes, worms, mice, ants, and so on. Therefore, they needed to be eliminated. Every year, young elites would be sent to sharpen them.

Now, in the summer, it was the season of the most serious insect pests. After understanding the basic situation, Xu Zongyi had a plan in mind. No matter what, he had to adapt.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

In front of the Great Earth Hall.

Many people came.

Xu Xindie and Xu Zhengdao stood together and seemed to be discussing the experiences and experiences of this seed.

Xu Tianyun and Xu Tianmu were also gathered together with their respective people.

Xu Zongyi had come alone. This time, there were about a hundred or so children of his age, and they would all have to be placed in Heart Nurturing Valley for a period of time.

"Brother Zong Yi, you're finally here." Xu Zhengdao no longer wore a cold expression on his face, and his smile was brilliant. He felt that because he had drunk Xu Zongyi's blood before, he had become stronger in every aspect. It was the power of his bloodline after it had broken through.

In the farmhouse of the Xu family, there were many girls who liked Xu Zhengdao, and almost no one had ever seen him smile.

"Laughing righteously, so cool!"

"Yeah, if only I could be married to him when I grow up."

"Just what did that Xu Zongyi do to the righteous path? He didn't even smile when he saw us."

"I hate this Xu Zongyi. He's annoying!"

Xu Xindie, who was at the side, covered her mouth. She had been focusing on studying the 'Water Melting Ceremony' these days. Her originally somewhat tired heart felt at ease at this moment.

Xu Zongyi couldn't help but feel a burst of awkwardness. He never thought that he would be envied by so many female disciples. He cupped his hands together as he said, "I'm not very knowledgeable about Heartbreak Valley. I hope that you can give me some pointers when the time comes with Miss Xindie."

"Sure." Xu Zhengdao readily agreed.

Standing to the side, Xiao E watched the growing strength of Xu Zongyi and felt very gratified. Their gazes met, and everything was set in stone.

This time, Xu Tianyi, Xu Tianmu and the rest did not take the initiative to provoke Xu Zongyi.

The atmosphere of the entire Great Earth Hall was peaceful. There was no tension between the two.

Ever since Xu Duan De had been beaten unconscious, even though he had lost to Xu Zongyi, he was still in the Autumn Battlefield.

That time, he had indeed used all his strength, and even Xu Tianyi would not really have been able to expel him from the Autumn Battlefield.

"This is a valley token. The more pests you eliminate, the more merit points you will receive. At that time, the top three will be richly rewarded." When everyone had finished gathering, Great Elder Xu Zhiyan appeared on top of the Great Earth Hall.

Bits and pieces of tokens fell from the sky, landing in front of every child present.

"Grand Elder, the more insect pests you remove, the more insect pests you will accumulate?" After receiving the command, Xu Zongyi was a little doubtful: "If one side doesn't have bugs, then wouldn't the other side win?"

"How reckless." Xu Duan De rolled his eyes when he heard this.

"Don't worry. When the time comes, we will have many different kinds of mutated beasts. It will depend on whether or not you can survive." Xu Zhiyan smiled. Although he was Xu Tianmu's grandfather, he was also fair.

"Eh? "First Elder, since the younger generation has already asked for it, let's change the rules. Otherwise, if we don't always increase the difficulty, there will be no point in training." At this time, Xu Yueshen appeared. As the Second Elder, he also had the authority to do so.

"Second Elder, what kind of rules do you want to change?" Xu Zhiyan didn't have any objections, so he asked with a smile.

"Let's set up some spell formations so that these agricultural hazards can become a little more violent. How about we test them a little more?" Xu Yueshen's smile was very brilliant, but the children present were unable to laugh, "This can be considered as nurturing them to resist pressure. What do you think? After all, the world today is different from before, and we can't follow the same method as before. "

"Sure." Xu Zhiyan thought for a moment and nodded. He looked at the children and said, "Then do as Second Elder says and increase the difficulty."

"Xu Zongyi, you're looking for death yourself, and you're actually implicating us?" On the spot, some of the children of the same age as him were extremely rude, and their words were filled with anger.

"Do you know how terrifying the venomous rat and insect ants in Heart Nurturing Valley are? And now you have caused us all to suffer double the number of insect beasts! " It had originally been many of their peers who didn't have the slightest bit of goodwill towards Xu Zongyi, but now, they were even more disgusted.

"As expected of the lowly bloodline of the sinful blood. They only know how to implicate others." Whether it was the Spring Festival, the Summer Palace, the Autumn Battlefield, or even the Winter Court, many of their peers were extremely dissatisfied with Xu Zongyi.

Xu Yueshen did this on purpose, making him the target of public criticism. This was something that no one noticed. After all, no one would have thought that someone with the status of Second Elder would go against Xu Zongyi.

Xu Zhengdao patted his shoulder as he looked at the rest of them. Then, he shouted, "Wouldn't it be fine if you were to scram to the other side of us if you were afraid of death? Why are you cursing? "Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss. I will hack you back into your mother's womb with my sword."

Those who had originally wanted to scold Xu Zongyi no longer dared to speak. Xu Zhengdao was extremely powerful, and if he were to say anything, they would not dare to provoke him.

"Wow, Zhengdao is angry."

"He looks so handsome when he's angry."

"Even scolding has such a temperament. It's just that wherever there is a path of righteousness is a victory. A bunch of weaklings complain whenever they encounter difficulties." A group of female students from the Four Academies were extremely infatuated with Xu Zhengdao, causing those who were scolded to almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

In fact, these girls also understood that Xu Zhengdao might not be useful in dealing with many strange beasts like the insect, snake, rat, and ant. The Xia Family had a deep understanding of the ways of growing plants, so many children chose to follow Xu Tianmu.

Xu Tianmu and Xu Tianyi were both together, and those who wished to take more tests naturally stayed with Xu Zhengyi and Xu Zhengdao. However, there weren't many of them.

"Heartbutterfly, you should come as well, right?" At this time, Xu Tianmu also spoke up.

This was because this training field would be divided into different camps and they would be competing with each other.

"No need, this place is pretty good. I don't like it being too noisy." Xu Xindie shook her head. Xiao E also came along with her. During these days, Xiao E had displayed her shocking talent and had already stepped into the peak of Qi Drawing, just a step away from Qi Drawing.

In addition, there were also a few female disciples who truly admired Xu Zhengdao, as well as some people who were not afraid of danger.

But in total, there were less than 30 people, and there were over 70 people facing them.

In the past, the number of people on both sides had always been equal. However, they had never expected that there would be such a huge disparity.

When Xu Zhiyan saw this scene, he looked towards Xu Zongyi, Xu Zhengdao, Xu Xindie, and the rest as he slowly said, "If that's the case, is there something wrong with it?"

"There is nothing wrong with that. A person who fears death doesn't deserve to be with us." Xu Zongyi was extremely resolute. Before this, he already had a basic understanding of the tempering of the Heart Nurturing Valley.

Upon hearing Xu Zongyi's words, the expressions of many of their peers turned ugly, feeling that he was boasting shamelessly.

"He simply doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is." Xu Pinghou sneered, "You will understand then how ignorant you are."

Xu Zongyi did not know what kind of terrifying things were going to happen in Heartrest Valley, but he still had the confidence to deal with whatever came his way.

"That's fine too. Remember, come with me. You guys follow the Second Elder." As soon as Xu Zhiyan finished his sentence, two flying eagles that were about three hundred meters tall suddenly appeared in the sky.

The Flying Eagle was a strange beast that had been raised by the Xu family in Taihang Mountains. It was used for transportation purposes. Xu Zongyi watched with excitement in his heart: "I wonder when I'll be able to get my own mount?"

The moment the Flying Eagle landed on the ground, a strong wind blew and the clothes on everyone's bodies fluttered in the wind. If it weren't for the fact that they were all quite strong, any normal child would have been blown away by the wind.

Its huge wings were lowered, forming a staircase, allowing everyone to climb its body.

Xu Zhiyan flew up and was already on its back.

Xu Xindie, Xu Zhengdao had long since gotten used to it and was strolling leisurely.

Xiao E patted Xu Zongyi on the shoulder and said, "No matter what, we will definitely get through this together."

"Of course." Xu Zongyi gave a carefree smile, completely disapproving of the insults those people had given him.

When everyone was standing on top of the Flying Eagle's body, Xu Tianyan immediately began to drive it. He saw it rise into the sky and shoot straight into the sky.

A curtain of light enveloped everyone, preventing all the children present from being flung away. Even in the sky, they were still as steady as Mt. Tai.

This was the first time in Xu Zongyi's life that he had experienced it, and his blood was boiling.

As the Flying Eagle rapidly ascended, he felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat. This kind of feeling was too refreshing!

Due to the enveloping light screen, the wind pressure did not have any effect on the crowd, so they could not feel the wind at all.

Standing on top of the Flying Eagle and looking down from above, one could see the wide distribution of the Xu family.

From top to bottom, the farmhouse of the Xu family was a large city that took up a huge amount of land.

But outside of the city, there were circular terraced fields. They spread out layer by layer from top to bottom. There were many plants planted on each layer, and the division of labor was very detailed.

This was Xu Zongyi's first time seeing a panoramic view of the Xu family, and in the past, he had only seen it on a map.

In the south, there was a deep valley shrouded in mist. It covered an extremely wide area, and there were many secrets hidden within.

The Flying Eagle flapped its wings and flew through the air. In less than an incense stick of time, it had landed in one of the areas in the Heart Cultivating Valley, where everything was covered in red grass.

All of these Spirit Gathering Grass were as good as the kids present here. Although they were all of red rank, they were all crops of the Spirit Condensation Realm.

Xu Zongyi looked around him carefully. The place they were about to reach was at the edge of Heart Rejuvenation Valley. There was a small stream in the west, and the rest of it was surrounded by dense forest.

The Flying Eagle descended from the sky, and Xu Yangyan had all of the children come down. He pointed out his finger, and after activating some hidden array, he left a message, "In forty-nine days, I will come again to pick you up."

The Flying Eagle was extremely fast, and in a flash, it disappeared from their sight. Just as the children were about to regain their balance, a hissing sound came from all directions. Xu Zhengdao looked over and shouted, "Everyone be careful, it's the Flaming Snake …"
