Fang Yan walked towards Yaya's residence with a little sadness, and along the way, he met villagers who were preparing to do farm work, and they all greeted each other.

"Xiao Yan, go find Lingshan girl, hehe." A simple old man who was about to go to the ground saw Fang Yan and smiled.

"Yes, Grandpa Zhang, you go to the ground." Looked at it respectfully.

"yes, then you go, I have to go down to the ground, hehe." The old man smiled kindly.

This is an ordinary ancient village, although there are not many people, but everyone is very warm and close.

Fang Yan looked at the earthen house not far in front of him, and shouted as he walked, "Yaya, Grandma Qinglian."

Before Fang Yan's words fell, the wooden door opened instantly, and he could feel that the person who opened the door missed someone.

Yaya went out in a red flower dress, and when she saw Fang Yan not far away, she blinked her big eyes and shouted cutely, "Brother Yan, why did it take so long to come to me, Yaya misses you."

Fang Yan was speechless, pinched Yaya's little face, and said with dignity, "You little girl, we only met yesterday, and I came to you today, you are still too long." I thought to myself, this girl just loves to be funny.

Yaya struggled with her little face, but she didn't let Fang Yan pinch it, her hands were on her waist, she looked like an adult, and she blew her cheeks and quibbled, "That's it, that's it, I said yes, you are not allowed to speak." Yaya cutely waved her little fist and pretended to be a bad person.

Fang Yan looked at her cute appearance, laughed in his heart, and said, "Okay, big girl, don't make trouble, Grandma Qinglian, take me to see the old man." The girl raised her mouth and pulled Fang Yan to turn around and walk towards the house, muttering something vaguely as she walked.

"Grandma, grandma, Brother Yan is here." The girl walked into the room and shouted.

When Fang Yan entered the room, he saw an old woman sitting in a simple but very clean hall, closing her eyes and recuperating herself, and stepped forward and said respectfully, "Grandma Qinglian, the kid has come to see you."

When the old woman heard the voice, her eyes opened, she looked at Fang Yan, and said flatly, "You have decided?"

"Yes, it's decided, I'll go tomorrow, today I'm here to say goodbye to you and Yaya, this start, I don't know when I can succeed, if I fail......" Fang Yan looked at the old woman and said calmly.

The girl next to her didn't understand a word, and suddenly said, "Grandma, Brother Yan, what are you talking about, why can't I understand a word."

Fang Yan looked at Yaya at this time, and remembered a lot of the past experiences of the two, the two grew up together since childhood, lived together for nearly 10 years, cried noses together, did naughty things together, and were punished by Grandma Qinglian together, too much. After Fang Yan this time, he didn't know if he could see this cute girl again, and he felt a deep reluctance in his heart, and he didn't know how to tell the little girl. I can only innocently go to Grandma Jian Qinglian, hoping that she can explain to Yaya.

"It will take a long time for Xiao Yan to go into retreat." The old woman's tone was concise and plain, but in her heart she was worried about Fang Yan, the old woman had been here for more than ten years, watching Fang Yan grow up, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was like a grandson. How can you not worry. Hey, in a few days, it's time to send Lingshan to practice.

Yaya vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it, looking at Fang Yan, her eyes were already covered with a layer of mist, "Brother Yan, how long will it take, Yaya is reluctant to let you go, I don't want to be separated from you."

Fang Yan was also very sad when he saw Yaya like this, but it was imperative to cut off the blood, there was no way, so he had to endure the sadness, touched Yaya's head, and said softly, "Yaya, be good, when I go into retreat, you also have to cultivate well, didn't you say that you will protect me in the future, isn't it just a few years, we will meet soon, don't cry."

"Well, I must cultivate hard and protect Brother Yan in the future." Yaya raised her small fist and said firmly.

Yaya accompanied Fang Yan to leave the house and visited the villagers one after another, after all, they have lived together for so long, and there are only a dozen families in the village, and everyone gets along very well.

Yaya has been following Fang Yan from the morning, never leaving an inch, until the evening, before Yaya left, she took Fang Yan's hand and said softly, "Brother, Yaya will cultivate well, Yaya will wait for you to get out, and when Yaya grows up, she will marry her brother." After speaking, Yaya quickly kissed the corner of Fang Yan's mouth on tiptoe, and ran home with a red face. Fang Yanzheng looked at the back of the little girl, touched the corner of the kissed mouth, and had an indescribable feeling in his heart, very good. At this moment, my heart is even more determined, I must succeed, I can't die.

In the early morning of the next day, before the sky was clear, Fang Yan opened the door lightly and strode towards the barren mountain, Fang Yan had already thought of a place for retreat, in a stone cave on the barren mountain, which Fang Yan accidentally found when he trained every day, it was very safe, there was a dead air on the barren mountain, except for a few crows, there were no other living creatures, and the retreat here would not be disturbed by the outside world, it couldn't be better.

The reason why Fang Yan secretly left when everyone hadn't woken up was because he didn't want to see the sadness of parting, especially for Yaya, who deceived her, and didn't know what would happen if she knew the truth. There are also Dad and Grandma Qinglian, although they are very calm on the surface, Fang Yan knows that they must be uncomfortable in their hearts.

In a remote place halfway up the barren mountain, Fang Yan stood next to a stone cave, and said in his heart, this is it.

At this time, at the foot of the barren mountain, Fang Tian and the old woman silently looked at the halfway point of the barren mountain, and the old man said, "Xiaotian, how sure do you think success is?"

"Near zero". Fang Tiandao.

The old woman's eyes were slightly heartbroken and trembling slightly, which showed how uncomfortable she felt at this time. "Aunt Qing, when will Lingshan return to the Sword Clan?"

"I'll leave tomorrow, now that Xiao Yan is in retreat, Lingshan has also entered the realm of sharp change, it's time to cultivate." The old woman corrected her mood and said calmly. Fang Tian looked at his son's location, sighed, turned around and strode towards his residence. The old woman looked at the mountainside and said silently, Xiaoyan, you must succeed.

Fang Yan looked at the village under the mountain, for a long time, turned around and strode into the stone cave, the area of the stone cave is not large, about half the size of the bedroom, Fang Yan found a few large stones piled at the entrance of the cave, although there are no living creatures on the mountain, but for the sake of safety, it was decided to block the entrance of the cave.

There was nothing in the stone cave, except for dust, just a few small stones, Fang Yan found a corner at random, sat cross-legged, and thought back to what his father said last night. Chop off the waste of blood, leave the blood of war. To put it bluntly, it is a suicidal bloodletting, using a secret method to find the battle blood, forcing it into the heart, protecting the war blood with the whole mind, and then cutting the arteries of the limbs to keep the blood all over the body. Rely on a trace of heart and blood to maintain the god, the body, and immortality.

Then let the blood multiply slowly in the heart, which is a long process, as fast as three years, as slow as five years. No wonder it is said that this method is ten deaths, just ask, who can survive on a trace of blood in heaven and earth, let alone three or five years, it is a moment, and who can do it. During this period, whether it is successful or not, it will enter a state of suspended animation, and there is no need to eat.

Fang Yan shook his head vigorously to make himself more sober, although he knew that this time he was almost certain to die, but the firmness in his heart did not waver in the slightest. After memorizing the secret method, he looked at the entrance of the cave, and after making sure that it was correct, he took out a small knife and held it in the palm of his hand, closed his eyes tightly, and silently recited the secret method in his mouth, and began to look for the only remaining trace of war blood in his blood.

Time passed slowly, I don't know how long it was, maybe three days, maybe March. Suddenly, Fang Yan opened his eyes and leaked joy, finally finding it. Then close your eyes, use the secret method to make the blood flow backwards in the whole body, and force that trace of war blood into the heart, this is a very dangerous process, the slightest accident, the whole body will collapse and die.

At this time, Fang Yan's body was turned upside down, the blood boiling reversed, the originally slender blood vessels were enlarged, and they could be violent, a trace of red and blackened blood was slowly forced towards the heart, only to see where it passed, driving the blood to boil, and the blood vessels immediately expanded a lot, and they could burst at any time, which showed how domineering this trace of war blood was.

At this time, Fang Yan was enduring endless suffering, sweating had run out, only to see that his skin was chapped all over his body, his lips had long been discolored, and there was no water inside and outside his body, I don't know if he was burned by the boiling blood in his body or sweated.

Time passed little by little, and I don't know how long it has been. Suddenly, Fang Yan waved his hands and used the knife in his hand to cut the arteries of his limbs, and for a moment, he saw Fang Yan's arteries in his limbs rushing out, the scene was terrifying, obviously the domineering trace of battle blood had been successfully forced into the heart. After a while, blood was sprinkled all over the small piece of stone where Fang Yan was.

The strange thing is that on Fang Yan's left hand, where blood flows from the artery of his left hand, there is a white stone the size of a human head, crystal clear, not stained with blood. I saw that the blood that passed through this stone seemed to flow into the inside of the stone and disappeared without a trace, which was very strange.

At this time, the blood in Fang Yan's body was about to run out, Fang Yan's life was passing rapidly, his whole body was gradually cold, the only remaining bit of will was guarding the last trace of battle blood in his heart, the situation was very dangerous, if he continued like this, I am afraid that there would be no way to return to the sky, and it would only be a matter of time before the last bit of divine consciousness was extinguished.

Outside the stone cave, Fang Tian and the old woman looked fixedly at the entrance of the cave blocked by several large stones. The two don't know how long they've been standing here. Suddenly, the old woman said quietly, "Xiao Yan has been in for half a year, I don't know what the situation is." The anxiety in the old woman's heart was indescribable, and she was afraid of disturbing Fang Yan, so she didn't dare to use her divine sense to investigate the situation in the stone cave, so she asked.

"I don't know, now I can only rely on himself". Fang Tian's mood at this time was not at all as calm as it seemed to be, his hands clenched into fists. I was even more anxious in my heart, and I really had the urge to kill the thief God to show my anger.

In a secret place far away, a girl about ten years old stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the sky with tears in her eyes, and said silently, Brother Yan, you must be fine. Tears wet the girl's face. His eyes welled up with endless worry. Yaya was taken back to the family secret place on the second day of Fang Yan's retreat, and she was immediately reluctant to be taken back to the family, but she always felt uneasy in her heart, and always felt that Brother Yan must have something to hide from him in retreat.

When she returned to the family, she still couldn't calm down, so she looked around for the elders to talk to her, and finally under her stubborn stalking, she deduced the truth of the matter from the elders' words. At that time, he wanted to go back to the ancient village. After everyone's persuasion, it stopped, but the thoughts did not diminish at all, and every day in the past six months, he looked at the direction of the ancient village on the mountain, and prayed silently for Fang Yan, regardless of the wind and rain, the day did not fall.
