Chu Ran sat casually on the grass, the hem of the ink-colored clothes embroidered with delicate and complex patterns scattered at will, without any scruples. Not far behind him, Chen Liuyi meditated to recuperate from his injuries.

Chu Ran's expression was careless, and his eyes were casual, so he sat in front of the lake for half an hour. Half a moment later, sensing that Rao's breath had stabilized behind him, he got up and went into the woods.

Chen Liuyi was awakened by a fragrance, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a fire burning in front of the lake in front of him, and a chicken was roasting on it. Roasted golden dripping oil, fragrant. The color was dark, and the moonlight shone on the lake, sparkling. The boy who had saved him was crouching by the lake, staring at the surface of the lake with blinking eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Chen Liuyi looked at Chu Ran's eyes staring at the lake for a while, and couldn't help but speak, "What are you looking at?"

"Look at the water. Chu Ran said.

Chen Liuyi was puzzled, what is there to see about water.

"In the water, there are fish. Chu Ran said again.

Chen Liuyi was still puzzled.

Chu Ran said in a quiet tone: "You can't have both fish and bear's paws, I have to have both, how about it?"

When he was done, he grabbed his hand into the water, poked out of the water, and a fish was caught by him and jumped around in his hand.

"......" Chen Liuyi.

Looking at Chu Ran in front of him, he broke the belly of the fish neatly, scraped the fish scales, and couldn't help but say, "Where are the bear paws?"

Chu Ran sneered, and said in a casual tone: "Isn't it in front of you." ”

Chen Liuyi glanced at the golden dripping roast chicken roasted on the fire in front of him, silent, speechless.

Chu Ran grabbed the fish in his hand, walked over, and randomly picked up a branch and skewered it on the fire rack to roast. Then he picked up the cooked roast chicken and handed it to Chen Liuyi beside him, and Chen Liuyi took it without saying a word.

The night was quiet, and no one spoke.

Chu Ran looked into the distance, his eyes were careless. Chen Liuyi lowered his head and ate roast chicken, his movements were elegant, even if he fell into such an embarrassing situation, he still had a noble posture, which showed that the aristocratic and elegant style education he had received had been integrated into his blood and bones.

Spit out the chicken bones on the ground, Chen Liuyi's handkerchief rubbed his fingers, wiped them one by one, and did not let go of the finger seams, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, looked at his fingers intently, and said with two hearts: "There is a crazy old man in Xianling Valley, dressed in a black robe, with gray hair, who is killing people in the valley, and kills people when he sees them." ”

After a pause, he continued: "You have a heart, I was just hurt by him, he can't build a foundation in cultivation, he can build a foundation in half a step, but I see that his combat power is not weaker than building a foundation." ”

Chen Liuyi's words were to remind Chu Ran, but he did not tell the truth. The crazy old man was crazy and crazy, he killed people when he saw them, but he attacked indiscriminately like a mad dog. Listening to his words, he was robbed of his treasure, but he didn't know who the thief was, so he would bite people when he saw them. Many people in this valley were attacked by him, and if they couldn't beat him, they fled, and the old man didn't hold on to it, thinking that he was angry in his heart and attacked indiscriminately to vent.

But Chen Liuyi was more unlucky, he was a Lei Linggen monk, because of this, he was pestered by the old man, and he kept saying that he was a thief who stole his spiritual grass, and asked him to return the treasure to him. It can be seen that he has no treasure, it is a great injustice for the ages! The baby didn't even see a single hair, and he also provoked a madman to chase and kill, and went to half his life, which is really unlucky!

When Chu Ran heard this, his expression was unmoved, he didn't seem to care, and asked in a casual tone: "Crazy? Are there really people in this world who create murder for no reason?"

"It's as if someone stole a treasure, and he's catching a thief, and when he sees someone, he's a thief. Chen Liuyi said.

Chu Ran lowered his eyes, and he had a plan in his heart.

This real thief met a fake thief with a black cauldron, which can be regarded as a rare coincidence in the world.

After the light

Chen Liuyi said: "Chen Liuyi in the Medicine King Valley, thank you for saving your life." I'm okay with my injuries, so I'm going to say goodbye. ”

Chu Ran said in a light tone: "No need, you and I have both money and goods, and we don't dare to be kind." ”

Chen Liuyi glanced at him deeply, and he didn't know if this person was really noble or if he was open-eyed when he saw money. It's just a defensive spirit treasure, although it is worth a lot of money, but that's all. And if he owes a favor, the value will be far greater than that defensive spirit treasure.

Look, not like a vulgar person. Chen Liuyi said in his heart, said goodbye and turned to leave.

Chu Ran watched him leave, thinking in his heart, the people of the Medicine King Valley. It seems that this year's Immortal Spirit Valley is extraordinary, attracting a lot of people. With such a grand occasion, there will be strange treasures. It's just that Chu Ran didn't know where this baby was, but his heart was moved.

Chu Ran has always been a bold and black-hearted person, since he is an ownerless treasure, everyone can get it. The point is, this is the Valley of the Fairies. Immortal Spirit Valley can only be entered by monks who have cultivated qi, even if it is a treasure hunt, Chu Ran is also consciously fearless, and he can always escape if he can't beat it. Therefore, he became contentious. Although there is an intention to fight, there is no clue. He didn't know, though, someone knew.

Two years later.

"The person you're looking for is on the Thousand Crane Peak in the east. "A strange monk.

Chu Ran got the news he wanted, gave the reward to the man, and turned to leave.

"There are three people in total, one of them is a half-step foundation cultivator, and two are practicing qi at the ninth level. For the sake of his employer's generosity, the monk reminded him that although he didn't know what Chu Ran's purpose was, he didn't want to see him go to death.

Chu Ran paused, "Thank you." ”

Then he continued to walk away, his expression still cold.

Half a step to build the foundation, difficult to deal with. With his current cultivation, he is not an opponent. Chu Ran changed his mind and decided to find a place to retreat, and it was important to improve his cultivation first. With a decision, Chu Ran looked for a secret and safe place to retreat.

Half a day later, he came to a hidden valley.

Chu Ran had a thousand-year-old marrow cleansing grass in his hand, and his dark and dark eyes looked at the marrow washing grass in his hand for a long time. After a long time, he took the marrow washing herb. The drug attacked, and inch by inch pain came from the meridians, and Chu Ran's face turned white, without blood.

He gritted his teeth, and his expression of pain was distorted. It was as if I heard the sound of broken and reorganized bones in my body, and the medicinal properties washed the meridians over and over again, and the bones were broken and reorganized again and again. Blood flowed from the corners of his lips, followed by a large gulp of vomited blood, thick clumps of blood. The medicinal properties of the marrow washing herb are domineering, and washing the marrow and removing the bones has always been an unbearable painful process. Even a strong and healthy monk could not bear it, let alone Chu Ran, a sick man.

However, sick seedlings have the benefits of sick seedlings, and Chu Ran, who has been suffering from illness for a long time, has far stronger endurance than ordinary monks. So even though the painful bones were broken, and he wanted to roll on the ground, he still endured it, endured it, and a * pain came, and he endured it with astonishment and endurance, and he never had the slightest idea of giving up.

Fight for life, fight with the Tao.

Chu Ran's whole body began to seep blood, through the pores, cold sweat and blood intertwined.

This process of washing the marrow and removing the bones lasted for three or three nights.

Chu Ran took a total of three myeloid washing herbs, and ordinary people could only withstand one, but Chu Ran had a special physique and was able to withstand the medicinal power of three pulp washing herbs.

After three years, Chu Ran was covered in blood, and his face was bloody, as if he had been fished out of the blood water. Sticky and uncomfortably tight. He found a pool, took off his clothes and went into the water.

The whole person was immersed in the pool, and his black hair was scattered, like ink, exuding a faint luster. Rounded shoulders, fair skin, slightly thin and slender arms, and a flawless waist like jade.

Chu Ran thought expressionlessly, his physique had improved by a bit, his combat power had increased several times, and his staying power had also increased. In the past, Chu Ran's way of fighting was to fight quickly, and he couldn't wait to kill the other party in one move. He's explosive, but he's not very enduring. Or it should be, it is precisely because he has a weak physique and stamina that he can hold on to the short fighting time, so he has to be explosive to save time.

Right now, he's probably going to be able to support half an hour of fighting, which is enough time for now.

The cultivation has also advanced, and the cultivation of the eighth layer of qi refining has directly advanced to the cultivation of two levels. It seems that the improvement of this physique is of great benefit to cultivation. Chu Ran's physique has been dragging him back, otherwise his cultivation would not have been without an inch for many years, that is, his body has gradually improved under Gu Yi's care in the past few years, coupled with his perseverance in cultivation, his cultivation has kept up with the general level. Otherwise, with his bloodline, physique, and comprehension, how could he cultivate like this.

The cultivation of the eighth layer of Qi cultivation is not enough. The other party has a half-step foundation, and there is a difference between building a foundation and practicing qi, even if it is only a half-step foundation, but on the side, the odds of winning are still weak. At least you have to practice the cultivation of the ninth layer of qi, otherwise you are looking for death. Chu Ran thought that he still had to be promoted to another level before he could go to school

While thinking about how to improve his cultivation, he soaked in the pool, and the spring water gushing up from the ground was warm, not like an ordinary cold pool. This warmth spread throughout Chu Ran's limbs and five bones, and a stream of hot air surged from his body.

Chu Ran looked a little surprised, but he didn't expect this random waterhole to have this curative effect. At that moment, Chu Ran had an idea. He took out the Yuan Spirit Fruit obtained from the Medicine Valley of the Sand Sea, and a Yuan Spirit Fruit could have a hundred years of spiritual power. He obtained a total of more than a dozen Yuan Spirit Fruits, and took three in one go. Three hundred years of spiritual power surging in the body, with the curative effect of the waterhole, Chu Ran closed his eyes and ran for a week.

Reiki repairs the physical damage and hidden dangers left by taking the medicinal properties of the marrow washing herb to wash the marrow and cut the bones, nourishes the meridians, bone marrow, lungs, and intestines, and consolidates the cultivation. The abundant aura circulates in the meridians, running for a week.

After a few hours, the water came to fruition, and with a pop, the bottleneck was broken, and the cultivation was able to advance again.

Nine layers of qi refining!

Advancing to three levels of cultivation in a row is unbelievable and unheard of.

The advance is too fast, and the foundation is unstable. At the moment, it is a helpless move, but Chu Ran's foundation is solid and thick, and there are no hidden dangers, so it is enough to consolidate his cultivation in the future. It's still early in the world, the color is not bright, and I will meditate for a few more hours.

Chu Ran didn't open his eyes and continued to settle down.

But at some point, a figure suddenly appeared behind him.
