Chapter 663: Qiao Yun's Tomb
Half a year passed in a flash, and Qiao Yun always sat cross-legged inside the giant tree in the depths of the Unbroken Mountain Range, studying the Great Infinite Concealment Method. In the first two months, that divine sense swept over Qiao Yun's body a few more times, but fortunately he didn't notice anything, and after that, Qiao Yun never felt that divine sense again, so Qiao Yun no longer thought about it, but put all his mind on the Great Phaseless Concealment Method.
At this moment, Qiao Yun, who was sitting in the tree, had a yellow complexion, his eye sockets were slightly sunken, and his eyes were even more red, and the whole person seemed to have forgotten everything around him except for the study of the fourth layer of the Great Nothingness Concealment Method.
After an unknown amount of time, Qiao Yun's face gradually turned pale, but the look in his eyes became more and more.
"Poof!" Qiao Yun, who was painstakingly deducing, suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and he completely ignored all this, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and when he moved, the whole person gradually began to turn gray-brown, this change was not only Qiao Yun himself, but also his robe and storage bag were all changing, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into a piece of wood, and merged with the giant tree.
"It's done!" Qiao Yun couldn't help but laugh when he felt this clear change, and then jumped up from the ground.
With a "bang", Qiao Yun covered his head with bared teeth and sat back in place again, and Qiao Yun only then remembered that he was still sitting inside the big tree.
Rubbing his aching head, Qiao Yun carefully poked his divine sense out of the inside of the tree and took a look at the surrounding environment.
The surrounding woods were as calm as ever, with red and yellow leaves covering the ground as far as a foot from the lake. And the lake is still turquoise and deep, reflecting everything in the sky.
Qiao Yun didn't expect that it was still late spring when he entered the inside of this big tree, and it was already autumn in a blink of an eye.
Sighing for a moment the passage of time, Qiao Yun confirmed the safety outside again, raised his hand and took out the Silent Sword, swiped lightly in front of his eyes, and soon dug down a piece of wood in front of him, revealing the scenery beyond the big tree.
Smelling the fresh air that he hadn't seen for a long time, Qiao Yun's whole spirit improved a lot, and with a slight touch of his feet under him, Qiao Yun quietly fell on the fallen leaves outside the tree.
After moving his somewhat stiff body, Qiao Yun then sat down cross-legged again against the big tree, and while running the Great Phaseless Concealment Method to hide his aura, he began to continuously absorb the aura between heaven and earth, replenishing the true qi in his body that had been dissipated in the past six months.
This half a year of deduction and study has consumed a lot of Qiao Yun's mind, and while Qiao Yun is pleased with the extraordinary method of concealment, he also clearly understands its profundity and obscurity.
The fourth layer can be said to be the highest level that Qiao Yun can cultivate at this moment, if he cultivates further, the mental energy consumed is also several times that of the fourth layer, and it is difficult to support Qiao Yun's cultivation power at this stage. But Qiao Yun also understood that as his cultivation increased in the future, if he went to cultivate the fifth layer, not only would his cultivation time be reduced a lot, but his comprehension would also be at a higher level.
After half a day, Qiao Yun felt that the true qi in his body had returned to its fullest state again, so instead of staying in place for a long time, Qiao Yun quickly got up and walked towards the periphery of the Broken Mountain Range.
Along the way, Qiao Yun used all his strength to perform the Great Invisible Concealment Method, and was always vigilant of everything around him, but whenever he encountered a high-level demon beast, Qiao Yun would quickly find a rock or tree, and quickly transform himself into a similar material to avoid the detection of the demon beast.
Under Qiao Yun's caution, until Qiao Yun left the middle of the Broken Mountain Range, he did not encounter any danger, which unconsciously made Qiao Yun breathe a sigh of relief.
When he arrived at the periphery, Qiao Yun's speed was a little faster, and he just wanted to leave the Broken Mountain Range as soon as possible and return to the Qingyu Sect. Only when he returns to the sect and has the protection of the sect can he be considered really safe for Qiao Yun.
While he was walking, Qiao Yun's footsteps were sudden, because within the scope of Qiao Yun's divine sense, he saw a small hill.
There is nothing special about the hills, in this unbroken mountain range, you can see large and small hills everywhere, but there is a stone plaque standing on this hill, which makes the corners of Qiao Yun's mouth flash a wry smile.
Qiao Yun quickly changed directions, and soon came to the side of the small hill, only to see that the stone plaque in the middle of the hill was engraved with "The Tomb of Senior Brother Qiao Yun of the Qingyu Sect", judging from the handwriting of Juanxiu that was depicted, it was undoubtedly from the hand of a woman.
There is no need to guess, Qiao Yun also knows that this must be the tombstone that Ren Xiang erected for himself, it seems that it is estimated that it is because he has not heard from him for more than half a year, Ren Xiang thought that he had died in the hands of the silverback tiger head bee colony, so he set up a tombstone for himself.
Shaking his head and smiling bitterly for a long time, Qiao Yun raised his hand and pulled the tombstone out of the hill, and then put it in his storage bag. After all, he didn't die, but now he has a tombstone, which always makes Qiao Yun feel weird.
After putting away the tombstones, Qiao Yun turned around and continued to walk towards the periphery of the Unbroken Mountain Range. It didn't take long for Qiao Yun to see seven foundation building period monks hunting a tiger-like demon beast in the woods in front of him, and these monks were wearing all cyan robes, obviously disciples of the Qingyu Sect.
Seeing that there were disciples of the Qingyu Sect, Qiao Yun was overjoyed in his heart, and instantly stopped the operation of the Great Phaseless Concealment Method, and walked towards these disciples quickly.
The seven foundation building monks who were originally hunting demon beasts were all stunned when they saw that other monks suddenly appeared in the woods and rushed over, and the tiger-like demon beast saw that everyone was distracted, and immediately seized this rare opportunity and suddenly pounced towards one of the weakest foundation building monks in the early stage of the first floor.
"Be careful!" the other six monks, one of the monks with a three-story foundation, was the first to come back to his senses and immediately shouted.
The monk who was in the early stage of the first floor of the foundation building saw the demon beast suddenly pounce, hurriedly took a few steps back, and waved the long sword in his hand to block, but found that the tiger-like demon beast did not attack, but just shook a little, took advantage of the situation to escape from the encirclement of everyone, and was about to leave.
And at this moment, Qiao Yun happened to arrive from the woods, and before he had time to think about it, Qiao Yun's right hand Cang Silent Sword came out at the right time, directly taking the right eye of the tiger-like demon beast, and at the same time, his left hand slashed out several wind blades one after another, hitting the two front legs of the demon beast.
The tiger-like demon beast thought that it could break out of the encirclement, but how did it think that it would kill another monk halfway, roared in anger, opened its mouth and spit out a mouthful of black flames, and went straight to Qiao Yun.
Qiao Yun frowned, not daring to take this black flame hard, and hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and at the same time slashed out several wind blades again.
The remaining seven foundation building monks had already come to their senses, and under Qiao Yun's resistance, they quickly surrounded the tiger-like demon beast again, and at the same time, a large number of spells and magic weapons smashed into the tiger-like demon beast.
Qiao Yun did not participate in the encirclement and suppression of this tiger-like demon beast anymore, but retreated to the side and quietly watched these monks besiege. Although the seven foundation building monks were always vigilant against Qiao Yun, they saw that Qiao Yun was also wearing the clothes of the Qingyu Sect, so they lowered their guard a little, and put more attention on dealing with tiger-like demon beasts.
After a stick of incense, the tiger-like demon beast finally couldn't resist under the siege of everyone, and was slashed at the neck by the monk who built the third layer of the foundation, and fell to the ground and died.
After killing the tiger-like demon beast, the seven Zhuji monks did not rush to dispose of the corpse of the demon beast, but turned to look at Qiao Yun one after another.
The third-layer monk holding the axe put away the plate axe casually, then took two steps forward, hugged his fist at Qiao Yun, and said, "This junior brother is invited, thank you for your help just now, under Xie Nanping, I don't know the name of the junior brother?"
"In Shimonocheon. Qiao Yun also hugged his fists and said, "Senior brother said with a smile, where can I help just now, it was I who took the liberty to appear and affected you to kill the demon beast, if you let this demon beast escape again, then I will feel ashamed." ”
Xie Nanping laughed, and then asked, "I don't know why Senior Brother Yun is walking alone in this Unbroken Mountain Range?
"Alas, it's hard to put it into words...... Qiao Yun told the story of his group encountering the silverback tiger bee, but he concealed the escape, just saying that he happened to have a life-saving escape talisman, so he was able to escape with his life, and as for the other companions, they have not been contacted since then.
Xie Nanping and several other monks listened, they just sighed slightly, but they didn't say anything, after all, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the Wuxuan Mountain Range, everyone knows that there will be risks in coming out to hunt demon beasts, and when encountering a swarm like the silverback tiger head bee, it is already a great luck to be able to escape with their lives.
Without waiting for Qiao Yun to speak again, Xie Nanping first opened his mouth to invite Qiao Yun to join their team, and Qiao Yun also had this intention, after all, the journey back to the Qingyu Sect from the Broken Mountain Range was not short, and Qiao Yun had no other flying magic weapons except for the white cloud-shaped flying magic weapon issued by the Qingyu Sect, which was also the reason why Qiao Yun wanted to find a team of monks from the same sect to return to the Qingyu Sect together.
Seeing that Qiao Yun was willing to join his team, Xie Nanping was not surprised, after all, it was still very dangerous for a foundation building period monk to act alone in the Unbroken Mountain Range, and traveling in a group greatly reduced this danger.
After introducing Qiao Yun to the other six monks, Xie Nanping began to organize everyone to divide the corpse of the tiger-like demon beast. Xie Nanping wanted to give a part to Qiao Yun as well, but Qiao Yun refused, and the rest of the people had no objection to this, and quickly distributed the corpse of the tiger-like demon beast, and set off again to move horizontally along the Unbroken Mountain Range.
For a period of time after that, Qiao Yun had been following Xie Nanping's team to walk on the periphery of the Wuxuan Mountain Range, hunting demon beasts, but whenever it was distributed, Qiao Yun never asked for much, and only took the last one after everyone picked the leftovers. In this way, Qiao Yun won the favor of many members and quickly integrated into the team.
After another half a month, when everyone's storage bags were filled with demon beast materials, Xie Nanping waved his hand and led everyone to slowly march towards the outermost outerpart of the Broken Mountain Range.
