The turmoil of the Criminal Department's invasion of the Holy Maiden's Palace has completely subsided. It didn't take long for Zhan Chen to get the unfortunate news that Li Guihua had died tragically at the hands of the Criminal Department, and he was embarrassed for a while.

However, his relationship with Yin Meiru became intimate because of this turmoil, Zhan Chen saw that she could not hesitate to turn her face with a Supreme Elder, but also to protect herself, his heart was quite moved, and he was also casual and friendly when he talked to her, obviously he regarded her as a friend.

This change naturally made Yin Meiru pleasantly surprised, and she had nothing to say to him.

On this day, Zhan Chen saw that he had the opportunity to be alone with her again, so he said his longing: "Meiru." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I have something I want to ask you for help with. ”

Yin Meiru glanced at him and said, "Zhan Chen, how did you hide your words today, where did you go to fight against me?"

Zhan Chen bit it and said, "I want to retreat and cultivate." ”

"You want to retreat?"

"That's right, my cultivation is still too low, I want to become stronger!" he finally said in a sonorous voice.

Yin Meiru looked at Zhan Chen's handsome appearance full of confidence, and was stunned for a while, but when she came back to her senses, she replied: "Wow! It just so happens that I also want to retreat, let's retreat together to be a companion." ”

"Retreat together?"

An embarrassed look flashed across Zhan Chen's face, and he thought, "What is this woman thinking about in her head? This cultivation has always been a solitary retreat, how can there be two people cultivating together, isn't this a mess?"

Yin Meiru smiled mysteriously and said, "Zhan Chen, this time I will let you increase your knowledge, visit my cultivation room, there are secrets in it!"

"What's the secret?"

"You'll know when you come with me. ”

With doubts, Zhan Chen followed Yin Meiru out of the door, and Yin Meiru said to the maids who were waiting on the side: "You go and tell Yingfeng, I want to retreat!"

"Yes!"

After a while, Yingfeng came from outside and asked, "Holy Maiden, do you want to retreat?"

"Yes, Yingfeng, you go and prepare, this palace still has to bring Zhan Chen. ”

When Yingfeng heard this request, she couldn't hold back any longer. Since Zhan Chen became an internal servant, Yin Meiru, who used to talk to her without saying anything, seemed to be a different person, began to alienate herself, and often gave herself some tasks to go out, so that she and Zhan Chen had more opportunities to be alone.

"This is absolutely impossible!" Ying Feng finally broke out.

Yin Meiru looked at this little Fa Xiao, who had almost grown up with her, in surprise, and asked, "Yingfeng, what's wrong with you?"

"Holy Maiden, you are a golden body, how can you let a man enter such an important place?"

A trace of unhappiness flashed in Yin Meiru's eyes, and she said, "Yingfeng, Zhan Chen is my internal servant, why can't you serve me in cultivation?"

"It's different?"

"I say the same, that's the same!" Yin Meiru took out her princess temper again.

Ying Feng glared at Zhan Chen on the side, his eyes full of killing intent.

Zhan Chen's heart was awe-inspiring, and he said to Yin Meiru: "Holy Maiden, I think it's better to forget about this matter, I just need to stay in my room and retreat, and then I will retire first." With that, he wanted to turn around and leave.

"What are you afraid of?" Yin Meiru grabbed his sleeve as soon as she stretched out her hand, pulled him to her side, and said stubbornly: "Today, this palace is going to take you into my cultivation room together!"

Zhan Chen's eyes were even more puzzled, why did Yin Meiru insist on taking herself into this cultivation room, could it be that there was really some secret in it as she said?

Yingfeng couldn't, so she had to retreat and start preparing. After all, she is just a slave, she has received a slave education since she was a child, her whole life belongs to Yin Meiru, if she really needs, she will not even hesitate to sacrifice her life for her holy daughter, so Yin Meiru's order, she must not disobey.

So, Yin Meiru pulled Zhan Chen and walked further towards the deepest part of the Holy Maiden Palace, and came to an extremely empty patio before stopping.

The Holy Maiden's Palace is very large and deep, and there are many places that are taboo, guarded by guards, and Zhan Chen was not qualified to approach here at all in the past.

He noticed that this patio was different from the others, where many spiritual flowers and spiritual plants were planted to decorate the court, but nothing was planted on top of this one, and instead there was a huge stone tablet carved with many mysterious spiritual patterns, which seemed to be in line with some kind of mystery of heaven and earth.

Zhan Chen looked at this stele curiously, not knowing what its function was.

At this moment, Yin Meiru walked up to the stone tablet, stroked it on the stone tablet with her Qianqianyu hand, and entered a true yuan into it, and a magical scene happened.

I saw that the spirit pattern on the stele seemed to come to life, emitting a strange red light, like flowing blood, and then only heard a rumbling sound, and the base of the stele began to move slowly, showing what was hidden underneath, it turned out to be a long passage, leading straight underground.

"Zhan Chen, here is my cultivation room below, let's go!" Yin Meiru shouted excitedly, like a child showing off to his parents.

After that, she took the lead to go down the stairs, and Zhan Chen hesitated slightly, and also went down with a few maids.

The stairs are very long, extending to more than a hundred meters from the ground, and the further down he goes, the more depressed Zhan Chen feels, and the aura of the earth becomes gradually thicker, overwhelming people, but as a demon cultivator, Yin Mei is like a few people who are willing to eat.

Not only that, but he also noticed a very strong sweet smell in the air.

"This is the smell of blood!" Zhan Chen reacted immediately, although this smell was not as pungent as ordinary blood, but the essence would not change.

What the hell is hiding underneath! A feeling of extreme discomfort suddenly rose in his heart.

The answer was immediately in front of his eyes, for they had reached the end of the stairs.

What Zhan Chen saw turned out to be a large pool, this pool was very shallow, only about one meter high, but it was empty at this time.

I heard Yin Meiru turn around and say to him, "Zhan Chen, this is my cultivation room. ”

Zhan Chenqi said, "Holy Maiden, how can there be a big pool in this cultivation room?"

"This, that's the secret, you can see it!"

She turned to the maids beside her and said, "You start releasing water for me." ”

"Yes! The four maids agreed, and each of them came to the stone lion's heads at the four corners of the pool, activated the mechanism, and immediately spouted hot springs from the mouths of the stone lions, and gradually filled the pool, and when the water level rose to a certain stage, the four maidens stopped releasing water.

Seeing this scene, Zhan Chen wondered again: "Why does this seem to be bathing?"

Yin Meiru smiled slightly and said, "Zhan Chen, you have a good look, the mystery is here." ”

As she spoke, she took out a jade bottle from the Qiankun bag, took out a blood-red pill from it, and threw it into the water, the pill melted in one fell swoop, and in a short time the water in the entire pool turned blood-red, like blood.

At this moment, the smell of blood in the entire cultivation room reached the extreme, and even Zhan Chen felt faint in his head, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he called, "This is—"

Yin Meiru saw that Zhan Chen was shocked by the scene in front of her, and said proudly: "I haven't seen it, the pill I just threw into the pool is called the Blood Condensation Pill, which needs to be refined with the essence blood of thousands of people, and it is the most nourishing innate quality of a martial artist." We call this blood-bathing method of cultivation a blood bath, and only people of the level of the Great Elder can enjoy such treatment in the Demon Luo Sect. ”

"Blood bath!" Zhan Chen repeated, he was already filled with righteous indignation at this moment, this Blood Condensation Pill was too evil, just one retreat for them would cost thousands of lives.

At this time, Yin Meiru didn't notice the change in the expression on Zhan Chen's face, and couldn't wait to call: "You guys, why don't you come and serve me into the pool?!"

Several handmaidens looked at each other and said, "Holy Maiden, Zhan Chen is still here!"

Yin Meiru turned her head, glanced at Zhan Chen, a hint of blush appeared on her face, and she said a little shyly: "Zhan Chen, he's fine, you guys quickly change my clothes." ”

Several maids had to obey the order and stepped forward to take off Yin Meiru's clothes. After that, she walked naked to the center of the blood pool step by step, took out an elixir from the jade bottle, stuffed it into her mouth, and then slowly sat down and began to run the exercises.

A strange scene appeared, the blood in the pool actually sank into Yin Meiru's body, and the color of the water in the pool began to fade gradually. After about an hour, the water of the entire pond returned to its original color.

It was only then that she got up, got dressed, and came to Zhan Chen's side.

Zhan Chen glanced at her and said shyly, "You are so bold! I saw it all just now." ”

Yin Meiru didn't care about it at this time, but proudly showed off: "Am I good-looking?"

"Of course—it's beautiful, but this cultivation method makes me very uncomfortable. ”

"Zhan Chen, because you haven't entered my Demon Dao, if you transfer to Demon Skill, you will feel that the blood bath is the greatest enjoyment in the world! ”

"It's like you ordinary martial artists, you still need to slowly absorb the aura of heaven and earth, so when will it take to cultivate to the highest realm? ”

"But this requires plundering other people's lives!" Zhan Chen finally couldn't help but burst out.

Yin Meiru looked at him strangely and said: "Zhan Chen, I really can't understand you, the truth of this world is that the weak eat the strong, and the value of the existence of weak people is to turn into a part of our strength, that's all." ”

Zhan Chen silently looked at Yin Meiru's confused eyes, knowing that it would be useless to talk to her more, but it would cause unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles, so he said, "Holy Maiden, can I go back to rest if I am not feeling well?"

Yin Meiru smiled at him and said: "Yes Zhan Chen, I will agree to your requests, if you want to become stronger, I can pass on the most powerful magic skills I know to you, give you the best elixir, and let you cultivate in this blood pool, ensuring that you will not lose to those elite disciples under my father." ”

"I'm quitting!" Zhan Chen threw down these words and turned to go up the stairs, without the slightest nostalgia.

Yes, then his dream of becoming strong quickly will come true, but he will also completely lose the true and beautiful nature of human beings.
