In the middle of the stone forest, Tang Xiu sat on the edge of Spirit Spring watching Su Xiangfei, who was still inside.
Su Ben and Su Quan had finished cultivating and had already put on their clothes and stood to the side. Cultivating the destroyer for two days resulted in them being able to sense the Qi within their bodies and even control it.
Ravine…
Along with the splashing sound of water, a naked Su Xiangfei leaped out from the spring. Excitement flashed in his eyes as he called out, "I can control the flow of Qi in my body right now, Tang Xiu. I can also control it following the cultivation technique route. I've walked three times in my meridians. ”
"How thick is the flow of Qi in your body?" Ask Tang Xiu.
"About the size of the needle," Su Xiangfei replied after pondering a little.
Tang Xiu turned his gaze towards Su Ben and Su Quan and asked, "What about the two of you?"
Looking satisfied with himself, Su Quan replied, “The flow of qi I can control is stronger than Xiangfei, the size of a match. ”
Su Ben scratched the back of his head before raising his hand and extending his little finger, saying, "Mys is probably half my little finger, a bit as big as a — chopstick should be a little thicker than a disposable chopstick, I guess. But the length is quite short, only a few centimeters. ”
"What?!"
Su Quan and Su Xiangfei were shocked, especially the latter when his mouth twitched a few times and looked embarrassed. He had heard from Tang Xiu before that the human constitution was divided into various levels and tiers. People with great constitutions would have a faster cultivation speed compared to people with poor fitness. And now it seemed like he had a huge gap with Su Ben and Su Quan.
"Not bad . "Tang Xiu nodded and said with a smile. “Because being able to sense the flow of Qi in your meridians as well as control it according to the cultivation route means that all of you have officially started the cultivation path. Furthermore, your physical strength has increased drastically after two days of cultivation. You must be several times stronger than before. Now, try lifting some stones to test your strength. ”
"I'll try first" Su Ben replied.
Immediately, his gaze landed on a nearby rock around 100 pounds. He was able to lift a 100-pound rock in the past, despite having little difficulty. When his hand revolved around the stone, he exerted his strength suddenly and the stone was easily lifted by him, and he even nearly threw it into the air for lifting it too quickly.
"How can it be so light?" Su Ben muttered in disbelief.
"If you can move 100 pounds of stone before, you should now find a 300-400 pound stone and try to lift it," Tang Xiu commented with a smile.
“300 to 400 pounds? Can I really lift it? "Ask Su Ben, astonished.
"How do you know if you're not trying?" Tang Xiu said with a smile.
Su Ben nodded firmly and his eyes were now fixed on a rock that weighed nearly 400 pounds about seven meters more. He walked over there and hugged her.
"Good…"
The stone was lifted, he and even vaguely felt that he could lift a much heavier stone.
500 pounds! He estimated that he could lift a 500-pound rock. If he exerted his full strength, he could even throw it at least 10 meters away.
After the action, Su Quan and Su Xiangfei also tried. To their surprise, they found that they could easily lift stones weighing 200-300 pounds. Although their strength was not as strong as Su Ben, they were at least several times stronger than before.
Tang Xiu nodded with a satisfied expression. These three companions have excellent luck — so good they will make countless farmers feel jealous. The first time they started cultivating was aided by the Spirit Spring from the Earth vein, making their cultivation speed soar to the sky like they were riding a rocket. Given how Kang Xia and Andy started cultivating, Andy spent quite a lot of time being able to sense the flow of Qi and then slowly tried to control it, while Kang Xia spent several months.
"Xiangfei, hurry up and grab your clothes and put them on, right?" Tang Xiu laughed. “Maybe there's no woman here, but seeing you running naked is disgusting. ”
Su Xiangfei was stunned and suddenly darted into his clothes with a flushed face. He quickly grabbed them from the ground and put them on. Teasing Tang Xiu, however, removed the rest of the discomfort he had, giving him a clean and fresh feeling.
Looking up at the sky, Tang Xiu then spoke, "We've been here for two days if I remember correctly, and tonight should be New Year's Eve. I'm afraid we've created a big rumpus outside because of our loss. So, guys, let's go now. We need to find that leopard tonight and exterminate it. ”
"No problem!"
"We can kill him!"
The three rubbed their fists and looked eager to get into action. There was no longer any fear on their faces, as the drastic increase in their strength increased their courage as well. Although Tang Xiu wanted to warn the three of them that they should not take things lightly, he did not want to attack their current enthusiasm. Moreover, he was certain that the leopard beast would not be able to kill them with its presence.
"Just let them feel a little trouble!"
Tang Xiu smiled faintly. After leaving the stone forest with the trio, he quickly entered the wooded mountain. As the three of them had their physical strength increased, their strength and speed far exceeded their previous state, and were therefore able to move extremely fast while keeping constant observation of the surroundings. Tang Xiu even let go of his perception to the maximum and observed a distance of around 400-500 meters.
Over an hour later, Tang Xiu stopped in the middle of the mountain all of a sudden. A smile appeared on his face as he pointed towards the southeast and said, "Our luck is quite good. I could hear the cry of the leopard there, and it was very close to our position of — about a few hundred meters away. Follow and follow me. We'll kill him and then go home to celebrate the New Year. ”

The Su Family Village.
Anxiety painted Su Lingyun's face as he stood restlessly in the courtyard. His hand hugged Gu Yin's trembling shoulder. Although Tang Yunde and Mu Qingping were also anxious and worried, they did not show it on their faces.
"Have the villagers returned?"
Zhang Shi walked out of the house with a worried face. Beside him was Su Yaning, who was silent.
"No, they haven't. I just went out and wondered. "Tang Yunde shook his head. “Mother, how about you prepare dinner at home first? I'm going to the back of the mountain to look for them too. Now is New Year's Eve, so we can still enjoy the hot meal after I find Xiuer and we return. ”
"You just arrived, Yunde!" Zhang Shi waved his hand. "Rest before doing anything. In addition, many people from our village have gone there, along with the police from the city and the district police station. I'm sure they'll find Xiuer. ”
At this moment, Chen Huiying who lived next door walked in. Upon seeing Tang Yunde and Su Lingyun, he looked a little confused and immediately asked, "How is it? Has anyone found them? "
"No, they haven't. Let's just wait! ”Decah Zhang Shi.
With a depressed expression, Chen Huiying said, "This little devil is truly insane! Even if they wanted to kill the beast, that doesn't mean you have to dare to go to the mountain to take that risk! If something happens to Bener, I .. I don't want to live anymore. ”
“Don't worry, sister-in-law. "Tang Yunde quickly comforted him. “Xiuer has great capabilities. Let alone an ordinary beast, he would not be afraid even if the creature was a monster. Maybe they just went to look for him on the mountain, and I believe they'll come back tonight if they can't find him. ”

At the top of the outermost mountain near the Su Family Village.
Hundreds of villagers and police equipped themselves with flashlights and guns were searching everywhere and screams were constantly heard. Zhao Donghe, head of the County Public Security Bureau, held the loudspeakers and shouted the names of Tang Xiu's group.
He had initially returned to his home and was preparing to stick the temple with his wife and children, as well as buy some items for the New Year. Then he received a phone call and was told that four young men from the Su Family Village had climbed the mountain today in search of the ferocious beasts that killed the villagers. Therefore, he called dozens of police to rush there along with the people from the fire department.
On the way to the Su Family Village, he had planned to find someone to look for them, and would only spend one day at most if they were unable to find them. Who would have thought that after he arrived at the Su Family Village, he found out that one of the four young men was Tang Xiu? He immediately changed his mind and personally ordered that they should find a group of four no matter how long and at what cost.
Zhao Donghe was well aware of the reason why he was able to sit on the seat of the District Public Security Bureau Chief, because it was entirely because of Tang Xiu. At that time, the person competing with him for the position of Head of the Public Security Bureau was Judge Hong, the county's chief Judge Commissioner. It was entirely because of Tang Xiu that he obtained a position with direct instructions from the leaders above. Even the Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission sent a team to conduct an investigation on the County Judge, and as a result, the man was now still in prison.
She did not know who those people behind Tang Xiu were. All he could affirm was that they were definitely not from the city, because the inspection team from the city that had come to investigate Judge Hong back then was actually led by someone from the capital.
"Chairman Zhao, we cannot venture any further, too dangerous. '' The leader of the fire brigade that followed beside Zhao Donghe spoke with a face painted with a wry smile. He had learned from the villagers of Su Family Village that the back of this mountain was filled with many ferocious beasts and the terrain was very steep — and a little carelessness would put them in danger.
Zhao Donghe clenched his hands. Despite having spent a day traveling from one side to the other on the mountain, he still gritted his teeth and said, “No. We must find these four young people no matter how dangerous. After all, the villagers had to be tired. Tell anyone who can't keep up that they can come back soon, while I'll personally lead the team to venture deeper and search for them. ”
The fire brigade leader put on a confused expression. He could not understand why Zhao Donghe was so adamant and persistent in this quest. Aren't they just four young people? Not to mention getting lost in a heavily forested mountain was a normal occurrence, but it was also harmless! Moreover, many people had already gone further into the forest mountain to search for them. Moreover, the night would be pitch-black and once they ventured deeper, it would be inevitable that some people would be injured. For all these reasons, is his effort still worth it?
“Head Zhao, firefighters — my people will and should try deeper to search for them, but civilians are tired. I think it would be better if you take it and come back. Tug some police officers to accompany and follow us, ” said the fire chief with a serious expression.
“No need to persuade me. I have to stay here. ”
