Right now, what Su Xing desired the most was to quickly raise his cultivation. As long as he was stronger, he wouldn't be afraid of being bullied by others. Only then would he be able to protect his family and friends.

From Sect Leader Xiao Qingshan's words, Su Xing slowly gained a general understanding of this year's Clan Assembly.

According to the rules, anyone from Yanhuang County should have the qualifications to participate in the annual conference. However, those who were able to obtain a good result and successfully enter the spirit pond each year were simply the six major powers.

The Chen Clan, Guo Clan, Feng Clan, Yanhuang Temple, Emei Temple, and the Qing Xuan Sect.

Amongst these six powers, the Chen Clan was the dominant power. This was mainly because the Chen Clan Patriarch not only had an astonishing cultivation base, but more importantly, he was the county governor of Yanhuang County. He represented the Grand Xia Dynasty here.

The Guo and Feng Families, on the other hand, were a little weaker. One was a side branch of a large family, while the other was a business background.

As for the Yan Huang Temple and the Emei Temple, these two sects had a relationship that could not be explained. Su Xing had only heard people say it before that long ago, these two sects actually came from the same sect.

Among the younger generation of the six great forces, there were many talented people who wanted to snatch food from these people to obtain some benefits. If they didn't have any real abilities, they would only get beaten up.

Su Xing had never been someone who was willing to be left behind. How could he not be interested when such a good thing happened?

After leaving the Sect Master's place, a steward led the group of ten to the Martial Lecture Hall to choose a martial skill.

Along the way, Bu Ling'Er constantly sized up Su Xing. Her gaze caused Su Xing to feel uncomfortable.

"Senior Sister Bu, what are you doing?" Su Xing couldn't take it anymore and asked.

"Hehe, Junior Su really hides your strength well. You've made me worry for nothing for so long." There was a trace of anger in Senior Sister Bu's voice.

Su Xing scratched his head in embarrassment as he said, "I was just trying to catch you off guard during the competition!"

"Then you even tricked me. What do you think I should do to you? Don't you know?"

Bu Ling'Er pointed angrily at Su Xing, but the moment she said those words, she immediately regretted it, especially when there were so many other disciples around her. Her tone of voice was like a wronged wife questioning her husband, and others couldn't help but look over when they heard those words.

Bu Ling'Er's face turned slightly red as she shyly lowered her head. When Su Xing saw this scene, he was momentarily stunned and did not know how to react.

"Martial Hall, are you still going?" Just as Su Xing was at a loss as to what to do, the steward who was leading the way shouted in dissatisfaction.

Only then did everyone continue their journey. However, there was a person in the crowd who was gritting his teeth as he witnessed all of this. His gaze towards Su Xing was also filled with ill intent.

Who else could this person be other than Xue Tao?

However, it was different from the past. Right now, his father was thinking about the existence of the Heaven's Cliff, and he was not a match for Su Xing. Thus, finding trouble with Su Xing could only be asking for trouble.

However, his hatred towards Su Xing had never disappeared. The fact that the Bu Ling'Er he fancied had actually spoken of Su Xing's heart in public made him even more unable to endure.

However, he could only endure all of this.

At the moment, he was only at the Refinement Realm, so he was simply unable to cultivate ordinary high level martial skills. In addition, he had only comprehended the first move of the Imperial Sword Technique, and he was not very familiar with it, so how could he have the time to practice other martial skills?

The most important thing for him to do now was to speed up his cultivation and break through into the spirit realm as soon as possible. Once he opened up his spirit energy origin sea, everything would be much easier.

However, it was not easy for Su Xing to come to the Martial Lecture Hall. Thus, he could not come here for nothing. Thus, he casually took a martial skill manual and stuffed it into his bosom.

After returning to his residence, Su Xing immediately started to refine the medicinal herbs rewarded by the Sect Master. Looking at the pills that were filled to the brim, Su Xing smiled in satisfaction.

After that, Su Xing once again began his crazy cultivation. At the same time, his cultivation also rapidly increased.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. In the early morning of the next month, Su Xing brought Lan Yi to Herb Garden to retrieve the pills. This time, no one dared to make things difficult for Su Xing.

Su Xing had originally planned to see the steward, who had made things difficult for him last time, suffer a loss. However, this time, he actually went over and found that the steward had already been transferred away.

The new overseer of Herb Garden was extremely courteous towards Su Xing. He actually gave Su Xing two extra pellets on top of the original foundation.

"Junior brother Su." Just as Su Xing was about to return with a great harvest, Bu Ling'Er happened to appear in the nick of time.

"Senior Sister Bu, are you here to collect pills as well?" Su Xing asked.

"No, I'm here to ask you. The first few days of this month are the busiest days in Yanhuang County. I plan to go and take a look. Are you going or not?" Bu Ling'Er said.

Su Xing curled his lips and said, "What's there to look forward to? It would be better to stay in the sect to cultivate."

"When you train, all you know is how to train. Sooner or later, you will become an idiot when you train."

"Did you know that there will be a lot of people entering the city in the next few days? Other than some disciples from the sects and aristocratic families, there are also many merchants and rogue cultivators. Many of them would take advantage of this time to sell elixirs, magical equipment, weapons, cultivation technique manuals, and so on. Don't you want to try your luck?"

"But I have no money, so I can't afford it either!" Su Xing shrugged his shoulders in a nonchalant manner.

"Who told you to buy those clearly marked items? There are many things on the black market that you don't know the origin of, and some things you don't even know the buyer's name. What if your luck turns out to be good?"

Bu Ling'Er gave him a fierce glare and said, "Besides, it's always better to go down the mountain and see the world. You stay in the sect all day long, just like a country bumpkin. You can wear that white coat of yours all year round."

Su Xing was instantly displeased after hearing that. Who said that I only wear this set once a year? I clearly have two sets that can be changed, but these two sets are the same. You guys just can't see it.

Just as Su Xing was about to retort, Bu Ling'Er said, "Also, your little sister in blue has already grown up. As a man, you don't care about your appearance, but she's a girl. This time when we go down the mountain, we'll have to buy some rouge and cosmetic powder from her as well! "

Su Xing looked at himself and then looked at Lan Yi. He couldn't find any reason to rebut Su Xing, so he had no choice but to agree.
