In a forest not far from Linshui City, there was also an ambush of a group of disciples of the Demon Luo Sect, who strictly followed Lu Yi's arrangement and lurked outside the city, just waiting to snipe the righteous path gate "Yu Sin" who abandoned the city and fled.

At first, there was a lot of killing and fire in the city, but gradually things went wrong, and the voices in the city gradually weakened, and eventually even disappeared, and the enemy they had been waiting for never appeared.

At this time, someone couldn't stay still, and Hong Chuan took the lead and said: "No, we've been waiting for this long time, why hasn't there been any movement in the city, or let's take someone to attack it." ”

Liu Yu said: "Hong Chuan, this is not good, do you dare to disobey Senior Brother Lu's orders? Besides, who will bear the responsibility for our attack and the people who have fled the righteous path?"

Lin Lujin also echoed on the side: "Yes, Hong Chuan, we just need to obey orders, do more wrong, don't do good, more is better than less." ”

"Look, someone seems to have come out!" Hong Chuan shouted as he pointed to the gate of Linshui City.

Everyone looked at it intently, and it was true, and they couldn't help but take their weapons and prepare for battle. But immediately they were all stunned, because there was only one person who walked out of the city gate, and that was Zhan Chen.

What the hell is going on?!

They couldn't hold it anymore, so they hurriedly surrounded them and asked, "Zhan Chen! What's going on inside?"

Zhan Chen pretended to have a sad look on his face and said, "It's all dead, everyone is dead!"

"All dead, what about Senior Brother Lu?"

"Dead too. ”

"How is this possible?!"

"It's true, as soon as we entered Linshui City, we were ambushed by the Zhengdaomen, Senior Brother Lu and the two martial emperor powerhouses of the Zhengdaomen died together, and the others were also poisoned by the Zhengdaomen, and finally they surrounded me, I fought hard, and finally killed all these villains, and then came out. When Zhan Chen said this, he looked very sad and couldn't look back.

Hong Chuan, Lin Lu Jin and Liu Yu hurriedly led the team into the city, and sure enough, they saw the corpse in one place, and found that Lu Yi's body and Zhao Lizhu Luo Hongchang had fallen together.

The three of them naturally had doubts in their hearts, and looked at Zhan Chen on the side. Hopefully I'll find something else on the other person's face.

However, they only found sadness on Zhan Chen's face, nothing else. Even if they had doubts, they probably didn't dare to do anything to Zhan Chen, because their cultivation was the lowest in the group.

After cleaning up the battlefield, taking over Linshui City, finding the residents of Linshui City hidden underground, and relocating them, Lin Lujin stayed behind to take charge of the guard.

Zhan Chen, Liu Yu, and Hong Chuan went back to recover together, and everyone's faces did not look particularly frustrated, but there was a taste of joy and complacency. War is indeed the best way to make a fortune.

And back in the sect, after Chang Da learned the news of Lu Yi's death, he was really furious and wanted to add to the crime. At this time, Yin Mei Ruoran stood up to protect him, and also said that he was not only without fault, but also had merit in capturing the city.

After a trouble, Chang Da had to give in, and finally sentenced Zhan Chen to a merit and demerit offset, and no reward and punishment. In this way, the urgent mission was completed in less than three months.

Zhan Chen was also able to return to his home and secretly enjoy the joy of the harvest. Until now, he had been stroking the Qiankun bag around his waist, which was full of all the wealth he had received from the three Martial Emperors and the two Martial Kings Great Perfection powerhouses.

Among them, there are 12 million top-grade Yuan Stones alone, and there are as many as 100,000 top-grade Yuan Stones! There are more than 500 kinds of seventh- and eighth-grade elixirs, more than 300 seventh- and eighth-grade refining materials, as well as hundreds of bottles of elixirs used by the Martial Emperor's powerhouses, three heaven-level martial arts, and more than a dozen earth-level martial arts, and other things are not worth mentioning.

Of course, many of these riches belong to the Righteous Sect brothers. He wanted to say sorry to them, but there was no way around it. Because this is the reality of the martial arts world, if you don't take away this wealth, you will be cheaper than that group of demon cultivators.

He sorted out this wealth, went to another lucky auction, and exchanged all the things he didn't need for yuan stones. In this way, he obtained more than eight million top-grade Yuan Stones! Of course, his VIP card was also promoted to the highest level because of this.

The current Zhan Chen can be said to have a lot of money, and he immediately went to the major elixir pavilions and refining weapons in Moluo City to purchase a large number of elixirs and refining materials, and spent five million high-grade yuan stones in one go.

When he returned home again, he quickly entered a state of retreat, preparing to break through Emperor Wu!

However, Zhan Chen's stay in the Great Perfection of Emperor Wu is still short, and the accumulation of this aspect is especially shortcoming, and to make up for such shortcomings, for ordinary Martial Kings, he can only rely on the accumulation of many years, but for him there is a better choice, that is, to rely on the Seven Pins Pill.

So for the next year or so, Zhan Chen spent time in alchemy and cultivation, refining the two seventh-grade primary-level metallic pills in the pill that Guhe gave him, the Zifu Golden Solid Pill and the Golden Jade Vein Pill, and taking them repeatedly.

Refining the Golden Condensing Jade Vein Pill was more complicated than the Purple Mansion Golden Solid Pill, and it required the use of one more eight-rank pill and three seventh-order elixirs. But at the same time, its effect is also one more than that of Zifu Jingu Pill, that is, it can enhance the toughness of the meridians.

However, the refining failure rate of this elixir was also very high, with a fifty percent chance of failure, while the Zifu Golden Gu Pill had a seventh-layer success rate.

Zhan Chen almost exhausted all his inventory of elixirs, and only then did he stabilize his cultivation at the peak state of the Martial King's Great Perfection, and now the bottleneck of the Martial Emperor was within reach, and it was only one step away for him, that is, to condense the Martial Emperor Diagram.

In the cultivation room, Zhan Chen looked at the large number of elixirs he bought, smiled bitterly, and thought: "Fortunately, I have a trip to Linshui City, and I have gathered enough capital of 20 million high-grade yuan stones to be able to cultivate like this. ”

"Now I want to break through Emperor Wu, but the previous accumulation is based on the assistance of the pill, this kind of accumulation is too easy, and this kind of power is too vain, if you want to be in a big realm, I am afraid that you need a strong external force to push, which can only be done by the seventh-grade mid-grade pill!" he analyzed silently.

So he chose a seven-rank mid-rank pill called the Silver Soul Yu Marrow Pill, which could not only greatly increase the Jin Zhenyuan in the martial artist's body, but also strengthen the martial artist's bones.

However, the elixir was not enough, and he had to go back to Moluo City to purchase the elixir, and spent nearly five million yuan stones. In order to break through Emperor Wu, he can be said to have spared no expense!

However, if you want to challenge the seventh-grade mid-level elixir, it is not child's play, the success rate of the Golden Jade Vein Pill is only fifty, so as a seventh-grade mid-level Silver Soul Pill pill, the success rate of refining it yourself may be even lower. For this reason, Zhan Chen had already prepared, and he specially purchased ten medicinal materials for refining this elixir.

Sure enough, he failed the first time, although with the help of Huang'er, the seventh-grade mid-grade elixir needed twenty-four seals, and with Zhan Chen's true yuan, he could only use twenty-three.

He had to stop and rest to restore the true yuan to its best state and try again, but the second time he failed again, even if he took the pill to restore the true yuan in the middle, it was to no avail, and the third time he failed again......

I don't know when, Zhan Chen's forehead was already covered with sweat, and his heart was dripping blood from the successive failures, and this medicine required more than 300,000 top-grade yuan stones, and he had already failed seven times in a row! More than two million yuan of stones were in vain.

Looking at the remaining three pills, Zhan Chen pondered for a long time, and simply walked outside the house to breathe, still unwilling in his heart: "Why is this! Obviously, I have done my best, obviously when I pinched the last seal just now, I was only one line away, but this line has become the end of the world, and it is this line, I can't cross it." Isn't there a way to add a little more True Element?"

Just as he was in deep contemplation, he patted his head and suddenly remembered: "By the way, don't I still have the "Spiritual Trick Yunyuan Technique"? As long as I open even one more trick, I will be able to succeed!"

Zhan Chen quickly returned to the house and began to practice the "Spiritual Aperture Yun Yuan Technique", and it took ten days to break through two more acupoints.

This time, Zhan Chen went to refine the Silver Soul Pill again, and finally succeeded in one fell swoop! Looking at the small silver pill in his hand that was still struggling with the halo of the nine-colored pill, Zhan Chen's heart was extremely emotional, eight times in a row, if it weren't for the help of the Nine Turns Flame Phoenix Furnace, if it weren't for the fact that he happened to have the "Spirit Trick Yunyuan Technique" to increase the total amount of true yuan, this seven-grade middle-grade pill would not be able to be refined.

At this point, all the conditions have been gathered, and Zhan Chen has finally cleared all the obstacles to his path to the realm of Emperor Wu!
