Time is the same for mortals and cultivators. Although the life span of a cultivator is much, much longer than that of a mortal, the days go by day by day.

Before I knew it, almost three years had passed. Feng Lian's body has basically healed, and from the outside, he is already the same as a normal person. But he still had some corrosive toxins from the Blackwater River remaining in his body, and he couldn't refine them cleanly.

Fortunately, he had concentrated all the toxins on one of the roots of the Tree of Life, and as long as he didn't touch it, it wouldn't have much effect on his body. Slowly refining in the future, this matter is urgent, and it will take at least several years to complete refining.

Where blessings and misfortunes are relied upon, misfortunes and blessings lurk. There is a lot of truth in the words of the ancients. After this cultivation, the flesh and blood of Feng Lian's entire body were reorganized under the action of the Tree of Life and the Fusion Mind Method. The newborn flesh is full of explosive power and full of life.

And he was also inexplicably promoted to the intermediate level of martial immortals two months ago, which can be said to be a blessing in disguise. But from the outside, he is still so sick and thin. That's because the reorganization of flesh and blood hasn't really been completed yet, and now it's only the preliminary stage.

Only Feng Lian knew how helpless he was, although the reorganization of flesh and blood gave him a lot of benefits, but he would always feel tired inexplicably, and even sometimes felt very weak, and he couldn't find the reason.

Since the last separation, he has not seen Tong Wending again in the past two years, presumably he went to retreat to comprehend the road of life and death. Feng Lian listened to Tong Wending's words, did not rush to find Mengjie, but quietly recuperated his injuries, and recalled and summarized everything he had experienced since he was a child.

In fact, he couldn't go to find Mengjie, and he couldn't walk on the ground until three months ago. He also figured it out, even if he found Mengjie at this moment, not only would he not be able to help, but he would also become a burden to her. And in this way, it is better to calm down and improve yourself.

In the past two years, it can be said that the harvest has been very fruitful. Not to mention the harvest of perception. Just retrieving the lost Ethereal Ring and the pendant that Mengjie gave him had already made him ecstatic.

Ruoziyi tirelessly asked Feng Lian about the medicinal properties of various medicinal materials, and she tirelessly experimented with Feng Lian. It also aroused the strong ** of Feng Lian to explore the unknown area of his body.

After more than a year of hard work, he finally broke the barrier in front of the severed roots of life and death of the Tree of Life and entered a world of flames full of pure aura and essence.

To say that it is a world is an exaggeration, it should be an area, about tens of square meters. On several occasions, when he fought until his soul power and spiritual power were exhausted, the root of life and death would send him pure essence and aura. It turned out to be from this area where the fire was raging.

And in this area, he found the Ethereal Ring and the pendant that Mengjie gave him.

In addition to the broken jade bottle containing the elixir in the ethereal ring, what made him most distressed and angry was that the jade slips left by his father were all broken, as long as the items containing a little aura or soul power, none of them were spared.

Fortunately, the leaves printed with the veins of the magic circle at the moment of the agreement with Meng Jie are still there, the father's medicine recipe is not damaged, and the wedding dress that her mother made for Meng Jie is also intact. Put him in a slightly better mood.

Feng Lian looked at the powder remaining on the fragments of the jade bottle, and after countless deductions, he came to a conclusion.

At that time, he was seriously injured in the Muguang Rainforest, and his life was in danger, and some kind of power that he had not yet found automatically collected his ethereal ring, and stimulated the medicinal properties of the elixir in it to heal himself and save his life.

And the jade slip has his father's divine sense, that is, soul power, which should also be automatically collected, refined, and healed him.

But how Mengjie's pendant came to this place, he didn't have a clue. The pendant is still there, but the rope that the pendant is woven from something is missing. Maybe it's because the rope also contains spiritual energy, which has been absorbed and refined. Feng Lian can only come up with this answer that even he can't convince.

The pendant became very large in this sea of fire, suspended in the sea of fire. Feng Lian tried to take him out, trying to hang it around his neck again, but he couldn't move.

In addition to getting bigger, the shape of the pendant has not changed much, but the color has become blacker, which is a very heavy and noble pure black. Although I can't take it out, I believe that Feng Lian will definitely be able to take it out in the future. As long as he finds it, he can explain why he sees Mengjie. Otherwise, he didn't know how to explain it to her. After all, this is the only token left to her by her biological parents.

Regarding the origin of this sea of fire, what is the effect, and why it is connected to his life and death avenue, Feng Lian has not been able to figure it out. The only thing I know is that there is a lot of pure aura and essence inside.

The sea of fire was not very large, only a few dozen miles in diameter, and it could not be compared with his sea of knowledge, not as large as one-fifth of any of the twenty-four landmasses.

There are two places in the sea of fire for him at the moment

Unable to enter yet, one was the central area of the sea of fire, and a divine consciousness called to him from within. However, he was blocked by a barrier like the root of the avenue of life and death, and no matter how much he attacked, he could not break it. The other place was the edge of the sea of fire, which was also blocked by the barrier.

In addition to being honest, in the past two years, Ruoziyi has benefited the most.

Feng Lian retrieved the ethereal ring and opened the medicine recipe left by his father, and the medicinal materials recorded in it had very detailed instructions and notes, which opened his eyes.

Ruo Ziyi understands the medicinal properties of many medicinal materials through Feng Lian, constantly debugs various medicinal materials, and then uses Feng Lian as an experiment, and has made more than 30 prescriptions for the treatment of trauma.

There may not be a gain for paying, but there will be a gain for you. Although Feng Lian has experienced countless inhuman tortures, the harvest is also huge.

After Ruoziyi carefully adjusted the prescription according to his physical condition, his body's recovery speed was reduced by two-thirds compared to his previous expectations. It also raised the quality of his reborn and reconstituted flesh and blood to another level.

In the past two years, Feng Lian has also pulled a full hatred value. The young people of the entire Hundred Flowers Valley have included Feng Lian in the ranks of the most unpopular patients, and they are ranked first.

In addition to dealing with sick patients every day, doctors make friends with various classic medicinal materials, which is rare to show their joy.

Since Ruoziyi came, her lively and cute personality has become everyone's pistachio. Every day after tiredness, I can see Ruozi jumping like a butterfly between the medicine fields, and everyone's heart is full of joy.

Since Feng Lian entered the Valley of Hundred Flowers, Ruo Ziyi has been busy all day long, either in the medicine warehouse or in Feng Lian's ward. is either preparing a prescription, or healing Feng Lian, and the entire Hundred Flowers Valley has become lifeless because of her changes.

If it weren't for the lofty professional ethics of "everything is for the patients, and the patients are above all else," Feng Lian would have been emasculated by them countless times.

Feng Lian saw it in his eyes, but he didn't care much. He acts according to his own heart, and does not care what others think. Besides, the group of young healers in the Hundred Flowers Valley flocked to him, and they might not be his opponents.

Nangong Jin, the highest-ranking one, had just been promoted to the fairyland, and it was only after being stimulated by Fenglian that he suddenly opened his mind and set foot in the fairyland.

On this day, Feng Lian sat in a pavilion in the medicine field and leisurely admired the precious herbs in the garden. It's been three years, and Feng Lian still hasn't been able to completely suppress his desire to pick a few precious herbs.

Therefore, when he was tired of healing and cultivation, he liked to come to this pavilion and watch these herbs. He saw this as a kind of cultivation, the cultivation of control over his desires.

In the ethereal ring, the red wedding dress sewn by the mother herself is intact. Let his originally quiet heart begin to surge again, and now he is very entangled whether to go to find Mengjie immediately.

Ruoziyi quietly walked behind Feng Lian and was about to slap him to scare him. As a result, Feng Lian suddenly turned around and screamed, which scared her into a scream.

"Why are you like this, you find out every time. Can't you pretend you didn't notice me, can't you satisfy me once?" Ruoziyi protested, taking Feng Lian's hand.

Feng Lian gently stroked her head like an elder and said, "You are only at the peak of the Divine Court, I am a martial immortal intermediate, even you can sneak attack me." It's not that I can't do it, it's an insult to the cultivators of the world's immortal realm, and I can't afford it. ”

"It's not fun. Ruozi Yi said with a small mouth, "Then you teach me how to cultivate so that I can reach your realm quickly." ”

Feng Lian took out a few jade bottles, handed them to her, and said, "There are two Soul Calming Pills here, five each of the Cultivation Pills and the Mingxin Pill, and there are also some Essence Pills and Gathering Spirit Pills, which can help you advance all the way to the Immortal Realm." ”

Ruozi was smart and had a premonition of something, and asked with tears in her eyes, "Are you leaving?"

Feng Lian comforted: "I will come back to see you often when I have time in the future." ”

Ruo Ziyi's tears fell like beads of broken threads, and asked, "Can I go with you?"

Feng Lian almost blurted out that he could. But he knew that this was impossible, and shook his head slightly: "You are needed more here." ”

He also has a lot of reluctance in his heart. He has always treated Ruoziyi as his sister, and when he gets along with her, he feels very warm and warm. No pressure, no scruples. Even he felt that Mengjie was not only not angry when he saw it, but very happy.

She is innocent, kind, sincere and hardworking, and full of curiosity for new things. But he is very measured, and knows what not to ask and what not to say.

Feng Lian really loves her from the bottom of his heart, and hopes that she will always be happy so soon

Live happily. I hope that I can always protect her and watch her grow......

He was reluctant but had to leave, he still had a lot to do. There are less than four years left in his agreement with Wei Anfu, and others can be treacherous and untrustworthy, but he can't!

Taking her with you will only ruin her. Just like Tong Wending said, in addition to not being able to choose to be born, there are many times in life where you can make choices. It's just that every choice, whether right or wrong, means a cut in the heart, and the pain is self-aware.

"And when are you leaving?" asked Ruoziyi.

In order to make her happy, Feng Lian said with a smile: "Just these days, I won't leave, your senior brothers and junior brothers are really going to tear me apart." In that case, your two years of hard work will not be in vain. ”

"Can you help me with one thing, then?"

Feng Lian naturally wouldn't say no, he believed that Ruo Ziyi wouldn't pit him, so he nodded directly: "Of course you can!"

Ruozi laughed, took out a piece of jade slip and said, "Then you accompany me to Sifang City, there is a big auction there, and we are going to exchange some medicinal materials and come back." How about you go when we're done?"

Sifang City is the headquarters of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce and the Sun and Moon Chamber of Commerce. The main forces in the Eastern Continent are organized into pairs by the world, that is, "one courtyard, one floor, two chambers of commerce, two families, one clan and ten sects".

The first courtyard and the first floor refer to the Senate and the Star Pupil Building. The Senate is a sacred place for cultivators, and the elders are respected and powerful cultivators from the Eastern and Western Continents. There are nine seats for the permanent patriarchs and ninety-nine academicians, all of whom are top masters. So in first place.

The first floor refers to the Star Pupil Building. The Star Pupil Tower is the sacred place of the star arithmetic that Qiu Shan also wanted to enter in his dreams. There's not a single star arithmetic who isn't popular, and there's no star arithmetic who isn't annoying. There is no cultivator who wants to provoke the astrographers, because they can calculate your past and future. Fight with them, you haven't made a move yet, they have already defended, you just want to defend, you have already been hit. Count you to death, how can you fight this?

Fortunately, none of the star arithmetic masters can cultivate to the realm of gods. Because every time the star arithmetic uses star arithmetic, it has to be at the cost of consuming longevity, and the higher the level, the greater the life consumed every time he uses star arithmetic. Therefore, if you don't live long, it is difficult to cultivate to the realm of gods.

The two chambers of commerce refer to the Sun Moon Chamber of Commerce and the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. These two chambers of commerce are responsible for more than sixty percent of the mainland's commodity and material transactions, and they are rich and wealthy, and it is said that there are dozens of god-sealing powerhouses they have hired, and their strength should not be underestimated.

The two chambers of commerce are mortal rivals, but they have their headquarters in the same city, and the doors are open. It's the same with shops everywhere, if you open a shop, I'll open a shop right in front of you. As if it was a deliberate satire on the word "the right match".

The two families and one clan refer to the Ji family, the Jiang family, and the Wu family.

These three families have been passed down from ancient times to the present, with ups and downs, but they have never been broken. There are some hidden historical records of several eras in each family, but for unknown reasons, they have never been passed on to the public.

The direct members of each family have hundreds of millions of people, plus the affiliated sects and small families, the total number of people is not clear to them, and it is estimated that there must be tens of billions.

The three major families have a blood oath between each other, and they must not have large-scale wars with each other, nor are they allowed to directly participate in wars between the major forces on the mainland. A large-scale war here refers to a battle in which more than ten Great Emperor powerhouses participate. It can be seen how powerful they are.

Even so, they still fight openly and secretly, and the number of people in the fairy realm who die in such battles every year is still no less than five figures.

To be included in the list of ten sects, it must be inherited for more than 30,000 years, there must be at least 30 or more god-sealing powerhouses in the sect, the number of sect members reaches 10 million, and the number of vassal forces exceeds 1 billion before it can be on the list. Almost every thousand years, one or two of the ten sects are off the list, and one or two are on the list. The most frequent one, in five hundred years, the list of the top ten sects has changed six. It can be seen how fierce the struggle in the Eastern Continent is.

The current ten sects are Qingzong, Shizong, Honglan Pavilion, Pizheng Sect, Yunshou Sect, Jian Zhi Sect, Poison Sect, Instrument Spirit Sect, Dragon Wing Sect, and the Spirit Sect dominated by the Spirit Clan.

Among them, the Sect of Reclamation and the Sect of the Instrument Spirit have just been on the list in the past thousand years. But their real strength can be ranked in the top five.

The sect is not blindly cultivating, and cultivators also have to eat, drink, and sleep. Therefore, each sect will have its own source of income, and each will have its own focus. Judging from the recorded history, the two sects that generate income in one way at the same time have not been on the list, and only the one that has won and lost, annexed the opponent, and strengthened itself has a chance.

In order to maintain the position of the top ten sects, or to ascend to the top ten sects, every day, every hour, every moment, there are countless battles taking place.

This is the basic situation in the Eastern Continent.
