  Chapter 171 Variation Cheat (8000)

  When these three words came out of Xu Bai's mouth, it was completely out of his subconscious habit as a businessman. Simply put, it was an occupational disease.

  The hostess was stunned, but what she didn't expect was this sentence, which made her fall into deep thought.

   Could it be that I have been insane for too long? Why do I feel that after waking up, the world has become a little incomprehensible.

  What is the situation of adding money?

   "Did you really say that you want to add more money?" The female viewer asked again uncertainly. She suspected that she had heard it wrong, so she needed to be sure again.

  Xu Bai nodded naturally, pointed to the sun and moon Taoist robe on his body, and said, "It is true that you need to pay more."

   "Look, although this Taoist robe is very novel, and the style is also very good, the most important thing is that its characteristics are also good."

   "You just said that the sword is hard to hurt, water and fire are not invaded, and it can also repair it. It is indeed a good product, but you still have to pay more."

  The hostess was dumbfounded: "Do you know, this Taoist robe can be called a first-rank level, and even a first-rank master can play an excellent defensive role."

"The key point is that it's just a Taoist robe." Xu Bai said: "Look, for the sake of aesthetics, it can only be regarded as a Taoist robe, and I'm not a Taoist priest, right? Insignificant."

   As he spoke, Xu Bai pulled up a corner of the Taoist robe, patiently explaining to the female priest.

  If a crazy female audience member was here, Xu Bai would never have said so much, but now this is a sober female audience member.

  As Xu Bai learned before, the female viewer is very righteous, and generally speaking, she is a very kind person.

  So this deal... Naturally, I want to get more benefits for myself.

  The female viewer frowned wildly.

  She originally came here to make a good deal, but now she really can't help it, and really wants to slap Xu Bai on the head.

  I have already given such good things, so do I need to pay more?

  How can there be such a reason, isn't this bullying honest people?

  The female viewer took a deep breath, and finally turned into a resentful sentence: "I have limited time, so hurry up and talk, what do you want?"

  Xu Bai raised his mouth slightly, and said: "I heard that you carved my appearance on wood, so you should have carved a lot, why don't you give them all to me?"

  When he was in the Fengling Mansion, Ye Zi brought back a wood carving, which resulted in his ability to move from star to star to transfer flower to tree.

  So after a short thought, Xu Bai wanted to get wood carvings.

  The female viewer was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly: "I ruined it."

  Xu Bai was taken aback: "Why did you destroy the wood carving?"

The female viewer said: "The wood carving was carved when I was crazy, because I have regained a little consciousness, even when I was crazy, it can have some influence, so I carved a lot of things related to you at that time, after all You are very important."

"But when I wake up, I have to search everywhere, just to find you. It is impossible for me to carry so many wood carvings. The wood carvings also contain some of my essence. If someone else gets them, I will use some special It’s easy to fall for the trick, so it’s all ruined.”

There are many capable people in this world, and many of them have special abilities. For example, from some clues, they can use some insidious tricks. Of course, the female viewer understands better than Xu Bai, so those things are not convenient to carry, and must be kept. destroy.

  Xu Bai has black lines all over his head.

  He really didn't think of this. After all, a wooden carving is as tall as half a person. It would be very difficult to take them all away.

  The hostess looked puzzled, finally gritted her teeth, and said, "How about I carve one for you on the spot? I still have some time, but I can only carve one. I'm afraid I will go crazy if there are too many."

  Xu Bai thought for a while, and said: "There is still this kind of operation, so hurry up and carve one, and you must carve it according to your original method."

  Although you can’t get too many, but you can get one. For things like progress bars, when collecting wool, you always accumulate more with less.

  Although the hostess did not know why Xu Bai did this, she agreed and disappeared in a flash.

   Soon, she was pulling a piece of wood half a person's height, which was obviously found now.

  Next, the hostess replaced the knife with her hand, and sawdust flew.

  After burning a stick of incense, a wood carving was carved out, which looked exactly like Xu Bai.

  Xu Bai didn't miss this scene, he stared at the wood carving with burning eyes, and there was a golden progress bar in front of him.

  Good guy, he called it good guy.

  His guess is indeed right, the female audience member has the ability to produce progress bars, not to mention other things, this ability alone makes Xu Bai envious, and the way he looks at the female audience member has changed.

   "When I become stronger in the future, I must let her carve wood for me every day." Xu Bai thought.

   "Here." The female audience member felt Xu Bai's gaze and felt very uncomfortable. After handing the wood carving to Xu Bai's hands, the meaning was already obvious.

  —I have already done what you said, should you fulfill your promise?

  Xu Bai received it in his hand and said, "It's still the same as last time, right?"

  He is already familiar with this aspect. After all, he has the experience of the last time, so he can do it now.

  I don't know why, but Xu Bai felt a little weird. After all, it is really strange to talk about this kind of experience.

"That's right." The female viewer nodded and said: "You are the strength of the third rank, right? I will hit you with the strength of the third rank. You can try to transfer it. , it can be imitated.”

  Xu Bai thought for a while, got ready, and signaled that it was time to start.

  Business is all about integrity, and Xu Bai has always paid the most attention to integrity in his transactions.

  Of course, he now feels that the deal with Emperor Dog is a big loss. He thought there would be no dangers along the way, but in the end, he risked his life and went to the capital...

  —you have to pay more.

  The hostess didn't care what Xu Bai was thinking, she knew that her waking time was getting shorter and shorter, so she seized the time, raised her right hand, and pressed it on Xu Bai's chest.

  When she pressed Xu Bai with her right hand, huge power surged out, and Xu Bai felt a tightness in his chest. Immediately afterwards, he performed a trick.

  Xu Bai pressed his left hand on the shoulder of the female audience member, and transferred this force to the other side.

  The next moment, the hostess let go of her hand and closed her eyes tightly, as if she was thinking about something.

   After about half a stick of incense, she opened her eyes again and nodded.

   "Are you ready?" Xu Bai asked.

  The female viewer said: "It's ready, by the way, what's the name of your move?"

   "Transfer flowers and trees." Xu Bai said.

  The hostess showed a bright smile: "It's a nice name, I have to go, my waking time is getting shorter and shorter."

  Xu Bai didn't speak.

   After all, this is the first meeting, and he is still a person who may fall into madness at any time, so he will leave if he wants to, and he will feel more comfortable when he leaves.

   "Blood Slaughter Swordsman, you must know that there are people beyond people and heaven beyond the sky. I know you are a genius, but you must be careful on the road in the future. After all, people who can live to the age of the older generation have two hands."

  The main body of the female audience slowly soared into the air, looking at the young man in front of her, she couldn't help reminding her.

  When she was in contact with Xu Bai in a sober state just now, she could feel that the energy in Xu Bai's body was so huge that it was shocking, and it definitely exceeded the strength of the third rank.

  But most people nowadays are prone to pride. The female viewer is a very kind person, so I kindly reminded her.

  Xu Bai agreed, shook his hand and said, "Come here often, next time, bring more wood carvings."

  The female viewer said: "There will be."

   After speaking, she turned into a streamer and disappeared into the distant sky.

  Xu Bai held his hand upright, just froze in mid-air, and finally put it down after a long time, sighing.

  Looking at it like this, I will have a chance to contact you in the future.

  He really doesn't want to contact her, even if there is a progress bar, he doesn't want to have too much contact with this woman.

  Xu Bai likes a rhythm that can be controlled. Once it is out of control, he will not touch it, or even don't want to touch it.

  However, the matter has come to this point, and there is nothing to think about. After the female temple master disappeared completely, Xu Bai put away his thoughts, looked at the progress bar on the wood carving, and smiled.

   If there is no accident, this will definitely be able to cooperate with the transfer.

  The skill of embedding flowers and trees is a particularly unreasonable skill.

   To make an analogy, as long as he is at the second-rank level, the second-rank level can fight back. Of course, this premise is that he has enough true energy.

   "Let's talk about the liver first." Xu Bai caressed the wood carving with his hands, while preparing to carry the wood carving back on his body.

   Unexpectedly, when his eyes touched the progress bar, he suddenly froze on the spot.

  The progress bar on the wood carving is still there and has not disappeared, but what makes him strange is why the speed of the progress bar has become faster?

  This woodcarving was carved by the female priest herself. The level must be strong enough, but why does the progress bar get faster?

   Could it be the reason for the low level?

   It should not be so low that it came from the hands of the female viewer.

   "I seem to have guessed something." Xu Bai touched his chin and thought.

   "Go back first, find a progress bar to confirm it, and then you can get my result."

  He didn't stop, and after identifying the direction of Lingyun Prefecture, he rushed towards Lingyun Prefecture.

  …

   This trip actually didn't take long, it almost came out soon after entering, so Xu Bai concluded that Ye Zi and the others were still waiting for him in Lingyun Prefecture.

  When he rushed to Lingyun Prefecture in a hurry and stepped into the city gate, he soon saw a figure rushing towards him.

   "Master..." Ye Zi threw himself on Xu Bai, his voice choked up.

  Xu Bai put his arms around Ye Zi's waist, turned his head to look, and found that Wu Hua and Miao Xiao were waiting at the gate of the city.

   "Did you find a place to rest?"

"No." With a relaxed expression on Wuhua's face, she patted her bald head habitually: "Ye Zi was worried that you wouldn't be able to find us after you came back, so we wanted to guard at the gate of the city, and we had nothing to do. I just happened to stay here together, I didn't expect you to come back so soon."

  He was no less worried about Xu Bai than Ye Zi.

   After all, the two of them have been through life and death, and this time, it counts as two times.

  So after Xu Bai's accident, Wu Hua was also very worried, but luckily he was fine, and he also relaxed.

   "Master Xu, you are so strong." Miao Xiao did not hide the admiration in his eyes.

  First led them to break the conspiracy of the Gu God Sect, then fought against the masters of the Mortal Transformation Realm, and then was pulled into the city of cunning, and came out calmly from it.

  This kind of strength looks at the whole world, and the younger generation can hardly find another person.

  In the past, most of Miao Xiao's admiration came from rumors in the world, but seeing it with my own eyes now confirms the thoughts in my heart even more.

  Ye Zi just called the young master, and then she didn't speak, but her arms were tightly hugged. If Xu Bai was not in good health, her waist would probably be broken.

   "Okay, let's find a place to rest first." Xu Bai smiled and patted Ye Zi on the shoulder.

   Several people left the city gate, and after finding an inn, they took a temporary rest.

  Because Xu Bai was fine, he told everyone not to follow him all the time, so Wuhua and Miao Xiao returned to their room, and only Xu Bai and Ye Zi were left here.

   It took Xu Bai a long time to finally calm Ye Zi down.

  Although Ye Zi calmed down, he looked at Xu Bai with resentment in his eyes.

   "Okay, okay, don't look at me like that anymore, be good, go and get me the epee sword." Xu Bai patted Ye Zi's head and said.

   "Yes, young master." Ye Zi agreed, bending down to search in the package.

  Xu Bai didn't stop either. With a little power of his true essence, the fourth-grade puppets scattered in the corner stood up again.

   Soon, Ye Zi held the epee sword in his hand, moved lightly, walked up to Xu Bai, and handed it to Xu Bai.

  Xu Bai received it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

   The golden progress bar is very conspicuous. Of course, in his eyes, the progress bar that others cannot see is particularly obvious no matter when and where.

  Xu Bai stared closely at the epee method, and the progress bar began to explode rapidly under his direct gaze.

   That's right, it is exploding. In this case, this word can only be used to describe it.

  If the previous speed was like a tortoise crawling, now it has become the speed of a human walking, which has a qualitative improvement.

   In front of his eyes, the progress bar grows bigger every time. According to his estimation, there are still a few hours at most before the book can be finished.

   "What's the situation?" Xu Bai thought to himself.

   At first, he still suspected that there was a problem with the level of the wood carving, but now it seems that there is not a problem with the level.

  The same book, the method of the epee, was slow before, but now it has improved qualitatively, proving that the problem is not with the progress bar, but with yourself.

   "What's my problem?" Xu Bai took a sip of Ye Ziji's tea and fell into deep thought.

  If it is his problem, when did the problem appear?

  Xu Baizai thought carefully, and soon he figured out the reason.

  Maybe...it has something to do with people's deception?

   Before going to Renguishi, everything was as usual.

   Went to the city of people and tricks. After returning from it, the speed of the progress bar became faster. It was hard not to let him think about that.

   "No, no, it's absolutely impossible. It's not just a person who is scheming the city, but also a ghost city." Xu Bai just had a previous idea, which was quickly overturned by him, and another idea was added.

  He could think that when he entered these two places before, they had a very special thing in common. This common point can be summed up in one word.

-pain!

  Whether it is the city of human deception or delusion of monsters, after he enters, the first time he enters is the kind of pain that devours the soul.

   That kind of pain is extremely deep, not physical pain, but irresistible pain. Even a tough guy can't resist that kind of pain.

  If he hadn't had a golden finger, he might have lost his soul at that time, and this is one thing in common.

   "Twice, I suffered the pain of devouring the soul, and then stimulated the reaction of Gold Finger, and finally made Gold Finger stronger." Xu Bai quickly came to this conclusion in his mind.

   If you want your cheat to become stronger, and if you want to successfully speed up the progress, then you have to suffer.

  Inaccurately speaking, it is not to make the soul suffer, but to find a way to stimulate the special counterattack of Goldfinger.

   "It's motivation!" Xu Bai figured it out.

  Although it is just an inference, this inference is very feasible. He feels that he can try it next time if he has a chance. The pain is extremely uncomfortable, but it is better to try than not to try, let alone good.

   "The only regret is that I don't know any other way to erode the soul." Xu Bai thought: "It seems that this choice is in front of me."

   There is no way to erode the soul, so the next step is to enter those two places again, so Xu Bai is faced with a difficult problem, should he go or not?

   It’s safe if you don’t go, safety is the top priority, but you will lose a huge profit, which makes Xu Bai covetous.

  If you go, you will face danger, but compared with the danger, it is the huge benefit.

  Xu Bai took another sip of tea, put down the cup, and tapped his fingers on the table. After a while, he knew what he needed.

-Become stronger!

   Only after making yourself stronger and ignoring the dangers of those two places, that is the reason to have no scruples, and you can go there without fear.

  Thinking about this, Xu Bai fully understood that now he had to hurry up and make himself stronger as soon as possible while the golden finger advanced.

   "Open the liver!" Xu Bai picked up the epee method and continued to work up the liver.

  The sky gradually became darker, and it was already late at night, and there were only one or two watchmen walking on the street.

  In the dark room, apart from the light of the oil lamp, only Ye Zi was left with him.

  …

  The next day.

  【You observe the method of the epee sword and comprehend the method of the epee sword. 】

  【Find fusion options, fusion is in progress. 】

  【The method of epee + the five moves of Yi Dao = the five moves of sword without sword. 】

  【The fusion was successful. 】

  【You observe the woodcarving, and understand how the stars move (modified). 】

  【Find fusion options, fusion is in progress. 】

  【Transfer flowers and graft trees + Dou Zhuan Xing Yi (modified) = moving stars to change buckets. 】

  【The fusion was successful. 】

  …

  With two skills in one night, the progress bar skyrocketed like drinking water. The improvement of Golden Finger this time made Xu Bai look at it with admiration.

   Before his eyes, a light blue smoke appeared, forming the latest panel.

  【Name: Xu Bai. 】

  【Realm: Sanren of the third rank. 】

  【No Sword Sword Five Styles (Level 8): Full level. 】

  【Reversing Zixiao Gangfeng Yin-Yang Song (level 7.5): full level. 】

  【Returning Wind and Liuxue (Level 5): Full level. 】

  【Walking Break Four Turns (Level 6): Full Level. 】

  【Moving stars and changing battles (level 9): full level. 】

  【Diamond Heart Demon Physique (level 4); full level. 】

  [Strong Kidney Harvesting Technique (Level 5): Full level. 】

  【True Solution of Hundred Poisons (Level 3): Full level. 】

  【Ingenious Puppet Art (Level 6): Full level. 】

  【Indestructible body (residual) (level 6): full level. 】

  【Water adaptation method (level 5): full level. 】

  【Feng Shui Arithmetic (Level 9): Full level. 】

  【Comprehension: full level. 】

  …

  First of all, after the five forms of Yidao combined with the method of heavy sword, it became the five forms of sword without sword.

   This skill has reached the eighth level, which is the level of the second product. In addition to retaining all the previous attributes, it also has the special effect of the heavy sword.

  He needs a knife.

   To be precise, he must have a good knife now.

  The five styles of the sword without a sword, each sword contains the characteristics of great skill and no workmanship of the epee.

  The previous characteristics are also retained, and the combination of the two will double the power.

  Unfortunately, Xu Bai still doesn't have the sword technique that Xu Bai has always wanted.

   "All in all, I need more mechanism materials to make another knife." Xu Bai thought.

  The Black Sword Hundred Cracks had already been destroyed in the previous battle. After all, it was only a fourth-rank weapon. It was quite normal for it to be destroyed in that battle.

  Xu Bai doesn't want to do it again now, because the fourth grade can't satisfy him anymore. Now he can make a knife with his hands, and he can also use it. The only difference is that he doesn't have the ability to split, which is a little weaker.

   "After arriving in the capital, I can completely integrate the skills of the organs in the royal treasure house as soon as possible, and then make a suitable weapon."

   It's time to improve the skill of Mechanism Puppet Art, whether it's a puppet or your own weapon, this skill is very important.

  But now is not the time to think about these things, Xu Bai's mind changed, and he turned to the second skill.

  The second skill is to move stars and change battles.

  Sometimes he thinks that Xiao Jin is really useless when it comes to choosing a name.

   Shifting flowers and trees into changing stars and changing battles, what skills will they be called when they upgrade next time?

  Upgraded to Shifting Stars and Changing Battles, reaching the ninth level, which is equivalent to the first rank.

   That is to say, if the first rank, including everyone below the first rank, attacks him, he will be able to divert and counterattack.

   He can even injure himself, and he can also counterattack others. As long as he has enough true energy, this skill can be used without limit.

   This is an extremely unreasonable skill.

   It can be seen from this that the female viewer's talent is so high, her talent is amazing, it is simply staggering.

  After only using the two skills for one night, Xu Bai found that he couldn't resist the temptation of the advanced level of the golden finger.

  He is even thinking now, should he not come here a few more times, let him enter the city of ghosts and ghosts and walk around a few more times, to see if he can rise to another level?

  Of course, it's just thinking about it, not to mention other things, just going in requires a lot of fate.

   "My lord, when are we going to leave?" Ye Zi asked while helping Xu Bai wash up.

  Ever since becoming Xu Bai's sidekick, Ye Zi has taken care of all these tasks.

  Xu Bai just wanted to speak, but unexpectedly, there was a knock on the door the next moment.

   "Benefactor Xu is awake, I have something to tell you." Wuhua's voice sounded outside.

  Xu Bai winked.

  Ye Zi nodded, and opened the door in a very sensible manner. After a while, Wu Hua and Miao Xiao walked in and explained the matter in general.

  The general meaning is that the matter has been completed, Wuhua has also reported the matter of winning the state order, and the new state order is being appointed, so he intends to say goodbye.

   After all, Supervisor Tiansi is very busy with work, and he cannot stay in one place for too long.

  Because this matter is very big and involves a state order, he has to go to the capital.

  Miao Xiao is the same, she has completed the task and is about to go back, so she also came to say goodbye, and it happened that the two of them also stopped by, and they could walk together for a while.

   What Wuhua meant was to ask Xu Bai if he wanted to go together, which happened to be together.

  Xu Bai shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "I won't leave, I'll stay here for a while, and it won't be too late to leave after I've stabilized."

   This is also Xu Bai's idea. He had thought about it for a long time last night when he saw the progress bar, and finally came up with this idea.

   Hurry up now?

   There is no need to panic about this matter, and there is no need to rush it.

  In the past, he might have packed up and left, but it's different now.

  In the past, because the progress bar was very slow, and the golden finger hadn't advanced, so I wasn't in a hurry with regard to the liver progress bar.

   But now the situation has changed a lot. The most obvious one is the advanced cheating. In just one night, two progress bars were displayed.

  He still has fifteen unnamed knife scriptures. These fifteen unknown sword scriptures have always been his heart and soul, and they have never been saved. It is always bad to put them outside.

   In case one day is bad, one or two books are lost, or all of them are lost, wouldn't he lose a lot?

  So, taking advantage of this period of time, Goldfinger has also advanced, so hurry up and finish the remaining fifteen books.

  This is one of the reasons, and the other reason is that the danger of this trip is beyond imagination. The more progress bars he has, the more confident he will be.

  However, if he doesn't leave, it doesn't mean others.

  Xu Bai said to Ye Zi: "You are with Wuhua, and it happens that Wuhua is going to return to the capital."

  Ye Zi was taken aback for a moment, and then her face became very embarrassed.

Xu Bai is a smart person, how could he fail to see Ye Zi's meaning, and said with a smile: "I know you don't want to leave, but the last level is definitely not simple, you might as well go to the capital first if you stay by my side , Wait for the news of my victory."

  Ye Zi opened his mouth, wanting to say something else, but he didn't say it in the end, just lowered his head, with a hint of bitterness in his eyes.

   "I must become stronger, and I must not bring a burden to the young master, let alone become a burden." She thought in her heart.

  After this incident, Ye Zi had an idea in her heart, and she was ready to implement it. She must become stronger, otherwise, she would only become a burden forever.

  Although her auxiliary ability is top-notch and useful, this ability seems to be stretched in the face of some desperate situations.

   Become stronger and become able to help your son.

   This thought took root in Ye Zi's heart at this moment, making her unable to get rid of it.

  Ye Zi hugged Xu Bai lightly, and said softly: "I am waiting for you in the capital. You must arrive safely. If anything happens to you, Ye Zi will go with you."

  She is a sensible woman, not the kind of person who makes trouble unreasonably.

  So there is no unreasonable pestering.

  Xu Bai smiled and said: "Don't worry, such a big thing didn't knock me down this time, there is no difficulty."

  Ye Zi stopped talking, and seemed a little depressed, but he had obviously agreed.

   Next, Wuhua and the others left. After all, time was urgent and they didn't stay long.

  Ye Zi followed.

   Soon, only Xu Bai was left in the room, which seemed empty.

   "It's a bit uncomfortable to suddenly become deserted." Xu Bai said.

  During this period of time, Ye Zi was always by his side.

  The two get along extremely well, and they can also do some special entertainment activities at night, so Xu Bai's experience is extremely fulfilling, even very refreshing.

   Now suddenly, he is the only one left, but he is not used to it.

   "Go on, let's start!" Xu Bai took a deep breath, took out an unknown sword scripture, seized the slightest bit of time, and began to get angry.

  …

  Sometimes, news can be passed around as if it has grown legs.

  Even if the transmission is slow, a gust of wind can give it wings, allowing it to travel faster and farther.

  Lingyunzhou and his party, the blood butcher swordsman showed his power, fighting against the Gu **** religion alone.

   With the wind blowing, this incident seemed to have wings and spread throughout the rivers and lakes.

  Some people believe it and some people don't. After all, the news on the rivers and lakes is true and false, so naturally there is no way to tell.

  Many of the younger generation showed bitter smiles.

  Originally in this era, everyone is competing for excellence, each has its own strengths, and each has its own splendor in this era.

  But now, suddenly a blood butcher swordsman appeared, and pressed down a mountain for all the younger generations.

  The mountain was so towering that they were afraid to climb it at will.

  It seems that everyone has the ability, but no one is convinced, and everyone wants to compete for the throne of the first person of the younger generation.

  But suddenly, a stranger walked into the circle, raised a knife, and told everyone that there is no one in the younger generation who can fight.

   This feeling is really uncomfortable, making everyone feel bitter.

   More importantly, this young man had no background at first, but now he not only has a royal background, but even the other two big forces are impressed.

  An elder of the King Kong Temple who did not want to be named said that Xu Bai is welcome to come to the King Kong Temple as a guest and entertain him as a distinguished guest.

  An unknown teacher of Qingyun Academy in Jiangnan Province said that the door of Qingyun Academy is open for Xu Bai.

  Good guy, this moment not only has a background, but also a very big one.

   All in all, the younger generation is very uncomfortable, but after all, they have never met a real person, and there are still many who are eager to try. Even in the capital, many younger generations are already waiting for Xu Bai.

   Regarding this, some Liu Moumou, Yun Moumou, and Wu Moumou, who did not want to be named, said that this group of people would be beaten badly.

  Of course, Xu Bai is not clear about all this, because he is still memorizing the Unknown Sword Manual.

  …

  Time gradually passed, and several days passed in a blink of an eye.

  In the inn in Lingyun Prefecture, it was originally quiet.

  Suddenly, in a certain room, a certain swordsman laughed wantonly.

  (end of this chapter)
