Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 76 Refining Whale Rubber
Seeing Wu Xuan's expressionless face, Ma Xiaotao thought Wu Xuan was scared. She chuckled and said, "Don't worry, little brother Wu Xuan. It's mainly the seven of us who will do the fighting this time. You just need to assist from the side."

"? Sister Xiaotao, I'm not afraid of any bandits." Wu Xuan said with a pout.

Ma Xiaotao chuckled, "Hmm! I know you're not afraid! But these bandits are different. Nearly 90% of them are spirit masters, and they're incredibly arrogant. They've nicknamed themselves the Hand of Death. In that vast mountainous region, the mere mention of the Hand of Death or the Death Messenger sends shockwaves down the spines of the locals."

Ma Xiaotao paused, looked at the others, and continued, "The mountainous area we're heading to was formed over four thousand years ago when two continents collided, hence the name Mingdou Mountains. It's extremely rich in mineral resources, producing over ten kinds of rare minerals. Therefore, Xingluo and Sunyue have been fighting over the Mingdou Mountains for a long time."

"Before we set off, we have informed the Star Luo Empire's defenders near the Mingdou Mountains. They will provide us with detailed maps and accurate information. If there are no problems, we will set off at full speed. Send your supervisors The rings are all put away and can only be worn when performing tasks."

Everyone said they were ready. Ma Xiaotao said, “You guys with low cultivation bases will slow us down, so we can’t accommodate you. So, I’ll take Huo Yuhao and Dai Yaoheng with me, and you take Wang Dong. Ling Luochen, you take Xiao Xiao. Let’s go.”

Ever since Ma Xiaotao explained the supervisory mission, Elder Xuan had remained silent. Everything was controlled by Ma Xiaotao, a testament to his confidence in her command abilities.

"I want Senior Ma to take me." Wang Dong suddenly said, and then rushed to Ma Xiaotao's side, with an admiring smile on his face, "Senior Ma, I admire you the most. Can you take me with you?"

Ma Xiaotao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll take you, and Dai Yueheng, you take Huo Yuhao. Let's go." As she spoke, she placed her right hand under Wang Dong's armpit, jumped up, and set off quickly.

Dai Yueheng and Ling Luochen also made the same move, taking Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao forward respectively.

Wu Xuan looked at the reserve team and smiled, "We don't get that treatment. Follow me, my second soul skill, Light Spirit Wind!"

Wu Xuan raised one hand high, and the breeze around him rhythmically circulated, slowly attaching to the remaining members of the reserve team, Beibei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan. In an instant, the three of them felt their bodies became much lighter, and their forward speed was more than two or three times faster than before.

"Oh my god! Brother Wuxuan, your second soul skill is simply a magical skill for traveling." Xu Sanshi jumped twice with joy.

"Let's go! If you say you have a magical skill for traveling, then compete with the seniors in the inner courtyard to see who is faster." Wu Xuan twisted his ankle and suddenly accelerated and ran wildly.

"Okay! Charge!" Xu Sanshi roared and sprinted with all his strength.

"."

They traveled quickly all the way and didn't stop to rest until noon. Even the students in the inner courtyard were breathing faster at this time.

Wu Xuan and the others looked normal, only Xu Sanshi from the defense department was breathing heavily.

"You guys are pretty good! You have better physical strength than us." Chen Zifeng looked at Wu Xuan and the others in surprise.

Wu Xuan and the others just smiled when they heard this and didn't explain much.

"Huo Yuhao. Come show us your skills." Ma Xiaotao put Wang Dong down and said to Huo Yuhao with a flushed face.

"Ah? What are you showing?" Huo Yuhao asked in surprise.

Ma Xiaotao suppressed the heat in her body and said calmly, "What else could it be? Of course it's cooking! I can't do it this time, but your cooking skills are pretty good."

"Okay, okay, I agree. Yuhao's barbecue tastes amazing." Xu Sanshi agreed.

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on Huo Yuhao. Even Elder Xuan was no exception. He had been nowhere to be seen while they were all on their way, but when they stopped to rest, the image of him, sipping wine and eating meat, immediately appeared before everyone's eyes.

Huo Yuhao said with some embarrassment, "But I don't have the ingredients. I can only cook simple dishes. I can't cook anything too complicated. I do have some seasonings with me."

"This is easy." Old Xuan had come to Huo Yuhao's side without him knowing when, and when he spoke, Huo Yuhao was startled.

"Yao Haoxuan, go find some dry firewood. Xiaotao, you'll be in charge of starting the fire. Dai Yueheng, Chen Zifeng, I'll give you a mission: go catch fish. The more the better. Ling Luochen, Xixi, you two go catch some game. Gong Yangmo, you can follow them."

"Yes!" Except for Ma Xiaotao, the official team members responded and left.

"Wu Xuan, come with me." After seeing that the official team members had left, the fiery red light in Ma Xiaotao's pink eyes became more and more intense.

"Okay." Seeing Ma Xiaotao in such a state, Wu Xuan immediately understood the reason and followed her into the depths of the forest.

After the two left, the expressions of the rest of the reserve team suddenly became strange.

"What's going on? Are Xiaotao and Wuxuan close? Beibei, do you think Wuxuan is having an affair with Xiaotao?" Xu Sanshi seemed to have noticed the gossip and whispered in Beibei's ear.

"Shut up! If Sister Xiaotao hears you, even your tortoise shell can't protect you." Beibei looked at Xu Sanshi beside her with disdain. Xu Sanshi was startled and quickly covered his mouth, looking in fear in the direction where Ma Xiaotao and the others had left.

On the other side, Ma Xiaotao and Wu Xuan stopped after making sure they were away from the crowd.

Ma Xiaotao sat cross-legged on the ground. She didn't need to be reminded as Wu Xuan's first soul skill, the Spirit Gathering Wind, was activated.

As the breeze entered her body, Ma Xiaotao let out a comfortable moan and immediately entered a state of cultivation.

Wu Xuan continued to use his first soul skill, his mind constantly calculating the time since the last time he suppressed the evil fire. Unknowingly, more than a month had passed.

According to Elder Xuan's calculations, clearing the evil fire once would keep one from being affected for at least two months. Now, it's only been over a month. It seems that without the evil fire bothering her, Senior Sister Xiaotao's usual training is really hard!
"Well--"

Ten minutes passed quickly, and Ma Xiaotao reopened her strange pink eyes. Refreshed, she stood up and stretched, her delicate, slightly exaggerated curves clearly visible to Wu Xuan.

Wu Xuan took a glance and immediately turned his head away. He and Ma Xiaotao had only known each other for a short time, so he would naturally not do anything that would cause misunderstanding.

Seeing Wu Xuan turning his head away, Ma Xiaotao suddenly felt lost.

"Sister Xiaotao, can you do me a favor?" Wu Xuan said as he took out a black object from the soul guide.

"What help? As long as it's within my ability, I'll do it without hesitation." Although Ma Xiaotao was a little disappointed, she still responded readily.

Wu Xuan handed something to Ma Xiaotao: "Sister Xiaotao, I have a piece of ten-thousand-year-old whale glue here. Can you help me refine it?"

"Is this stuff really the thousand-year-old whale glue?" Ma Xiaotao took the black thousand-year-old whale glue with a puzzled look on her face.

"Yeah!" Wu Xuan nodded.

Ma Xiaotao did not hesitate, and the phoenix flame rose up. Under the burning of the flame, the black whale glue began to change color. A faint golden glow emanated from its body, and finally turned into a dark golden translucent jelly.

"This piece of ten-thousand-year-old whale glue is of good quality. Do you need me to protect you?"

"Thank you, Sister Xiaotao."

Wu Xuan nodded, took the whale glue, sat cross-legged, and swallowed it in one gulp.

When the whale glue first enters the mouth, there is a strong fishy smell, but it will soon turn into a warm current that flows into every part of Wu Xuan's limbs and bones, making him feel comfortable all over.

With Wu Xuan's formidable physique, the medicinal properties of the ten thousand year old whale glue were quickly absorbed. Under the passive protection of the Gathering Spirit Wind, the heat in his body was instantly dissipated. Wu Xuan felt normal except for a slight warmth on his skin.

So the two of them returned to the team while chatting casually.

By the time the two returned to the team, the official team members had already returned one after another.

It must be said that the elites of Shrek Academy were absolutely amazing in completing the mission. At this point, there was an ample supply of firewood in front of Huo Yuhao, who also found stones from nearby to build a makeshift stove.

Gong Yangmo, Xixi and Ling Luochen brought back two hares, two pheasants and a fat roe deer.

After a while, the rich aroma of meat had already spread out, and the game had all turned a uniform golden color. Drops of fat dripped into the fire, making a continuous "puff, puff" sound, but it was at this time that the aroma was the most intense.

Everyone was smiling after the meal, and after a rest, they set out on their journey again.

Although the rest time was a bit long, an hour later, they finally arrived at the border between the Tianhun Empire and the Xingluo Empire. Ahead, a large military camp blocked the way.

Dai Yueheng put Huo Yuhao down and entered the military camp alone. Soon, everyone knew why Dai Yueheng was so mysterious in the morning.

They did not enter the military camp, but Dai Yuheng borrowed more than a dozen military-specific flying soul guides from the camp.

If a soul master wants to fly, in addition to possessing a flying martial soul, he must wait until his cultivation breaks through the seventh ring.

However, with the rapid development of soul guides, flying soul guides first appeared in the Sun-Moon Empire. Their appearance also caused great trouble to the neighboring Sky Soul Empire and Star Luo Empire. The two countries almost exhausted their national resources to develop similar devices based on the captured flying soul guides.

Naturally, flying soul guides can only be used by soul masters. They are extremely expensive to manufacture. Generally speaking, they require soul masters of at least the fourth ring of cultivation to use. The military also equips them in limited quantities, after all, soul masters above the fourth ring are so rare!
