The old man did not give the order to die, so Zhou Chen did not follow the large army of the sect, but chose to act alone. This is also very common, and most strong people basically like to be alone.

Even Xuanyuan Zhe and Mingyue are together, although they are three or five people together, they are not following a large army, and they can be regarded as small groups acting alone.

Except for the people who have been determined to enter the secret realm, there are no mandatory requirements for the disciples below, and those who want to go to the desert to experience and increase their knowledge can go. The premise is that every once in a while, the tasks routinely arranged by the sect must be completed first.

Zhou Chen is the chief of elite disciples, so naturally there are no hard requirements for tasks. And long before he went to Wulie Peak, Xiao Bique gave him special treatment and exempted him from all chores.

So he can come according to his own plan. In the few months in Yanyun Sect, he was mainly engaged in refining medicine, cultivating eyes, and cultivating pupil techniques.

Zhou Chen only practiced one "Dementor Eye". There are a total of two pupil techniques on Wu Liefeng, and the other is "Ba Pupil", which is the chicken rib of the chicken rib for Zhou Chen.

"Dementor Eye" is a ground-level secret method, which is strong enough. After all, heaven-level secret methods are extremely rare, and the entire Yanyun Sect only has a handful of them. Heaven-level pupil technique, Yanyun Sect directly does not have it, at least on the surface. There are seven or eight doors at the prefecture level, except for the "Dementor Eye" recorded by Wu Liefeng, the others are on other peaks.

Zhou Chen is not greedy, a ground-level pupil technique is enough.

Besides, "Dementor Eye" happens to be used as an auxiliary, which is just right for Zhou Chen. He doesn't need to be aggressive, because he has a stronger "Burning Eye".

In the past three months, Zhou Chen has cultivated this pupil technique to a certain extent, and he can perform hypnosis and slightly affect the target's memory. As for cultivating to the highest level of this pupil technique, to the extent of controlling the target's actions, Zhou Chen is still some distance away, mainly because the soul realm is not enough.

But Zhou Chen is not in a hurry, he can always cultivate slowly in the future, and there is time.

After setting off from Yanyun Sect, Zhou Chen did not go directly to the desert, but first stayed in several small towns along the way for two days, mainly to get some money and then buy some medicinal materials.

His gold and silver were all spent on that bottle of refining medicine, and it was necessary to add some gold and silver for the convenience of the future.

The method is nothing more than to go to the gambling hall to get some, and don't stare at one place to win money, and each gambling hall Zhou Chen will take a small sum and leave, anyway, by the way.

After that, he went all the way to the desert, not by walking, but by renting a camel. It's not an ordinary one, it's a yellow-level fierce beast blind six-hoofed camel. Although this camel is less fast than a sand-stepping horse, it is more resistant to wind and sand, and has more endurance, making it suitable for overnight travel.

Of course, Zhou Chen would not choose to travel at night, he didn't need to be so hard.

Compared to most people, Zhou Chen is more relaxed, because he has rare space items, and there are two of them. A storage jade stone is from the white-robed boy, and a storage ring is from the water shark. The ring, in particular, has a large space and is large enough to store a large amount of water and dry food and other necessities every week.

Hurry during the day, sleep when you should sleep at night, Zhou Chen doesn't choose a place, you can rest anywhere.

The night in the desert is very cold, but the blind six-hoofed camel, as a fierce beast, is still a fierce beast that is very accustomed to the desert, so it is naturally not afraid of this cold.

Not to mention Zhou Chen, in the past three months, he has not pulled down the "Yi Jin Pulp Washing Skill", and there will be a period of time every day to cultivate it, so his physique is stronger, and a little low temperature is nothing at all, and he doesn't feel it at all.

Entering the desert, and going deep into the desert, the road was unimpeded, and encountering some fierce beasts became Zhou Chen's belly, and as for other martial artists, he didn't meet them. All in all, it was very easy to reach the destination.

When Zhou Chen came to the stronghold, most of the forces and figures with heads and faces were already here. Around this desert, there are three main powers, namely the Jokhang Kingdom, the Lanying Kingdom, and the Fusheng Kingdom.

Among them, there are three of the strongest top forces in the Jokhang country, Yanyun Sect, Lingxiao Heavenly Sect, and Shenyin Sect. The other two countries also have their own top powers. At this moment, the representatives of these forces have all gathered in this stronghold.

The meeting point of the Yanyun Sect was somewhere in the middle of the stronghold, and Zhou Chen quickly found a place, which was several three-story buildings next to each other, which were used by the high-ranking elite disciples of the Yanyun Sect and Zhou Chen and other high-ranking elite disciples for temporary residence.

"You're too late, kid, if you don't make it in time for the opening of the secret realm, I'll have to beat you up then. ”

Zhou Chen soon saw Xiao Bique, or the latter learned that Zhou Chen was coming, so he immediately came over and expressed her dissatisfaction very tactfully. It's just that she is waving her little fist and threatening, not fierce at all, and she looks like a coquettish girl on the outside.

"How long will it take to open the secret realm?"

Zhou Chen ignored Xiao Bique's appearance of pretending to be angry, and asked flatly.

"It's only been a few days, so you'd better stay in this room all the time and don't go out, if you can be notified at any time, gather and leave immediately. ”

Xiao Bique put away the joking and said to Zhou Chen with a little seriousness.

"Good. ”

Zhou Chen nodded in understanding.

"Try to adjust the state as much as possible, and if you need anything, you can also put it forward, if you have some resources that are not excessive, the sect will still issue your ......"

After continuing to say a few more words, Xiao Bique left Zhou Chen's room.

In fact, she still has a lot of things to do, after all, as the personal disciple of the old man of the heart ape, and also the most trusted person with the strongest combat power, for the next exploration of the secret realm, Xiao Bique will definitely be the main force.

Zhou Chen naturally didn't have anything important, and since he had just arrived here, he simply closed his eyes and rested, and began to practice meditation.

The day passed quickly, and early the next morning, Zhou Chen's door was quickly knocked on.

"Brother Zhou, it's me!"

Not surprisingly, it was Xuanyuan Zhe who found it.

Zhou Chen was still cultivating at this time, and when he heard a knock on the door, he stopped to open the door.

"Brother Zhou, you are really, you won't tell me when you come......"

Xuanyuan Zhe complained a few words, and then quickly left, looking a little hurried. This is different from before, in the past, he couldn't wait to come down and brag with Zhou Chen, but now it is because he has been acting together with Ming Yue and the woman surnamed Yan, so he is in a hurry to go to Ming Yue to find her.

Zhou Chen was naturally happy to be quiet, but he didn't continue to cultivate, he didn't take a good look at the environment of this stronghold yesterday, and today he planned to take a walk around first.

After taking out the water and food in the storage ring and coping with breakfast, Zhou Chen walked out.
