At noon, the sun was high

in a brightly lit room.

Li Qiu was dressed in a black robe, closed his eyes and concentrated, sitting cross-legged on the bed, the flow of qi and blood in his body made a strange sound like a sea tide, making people feel as if they were in front of the vast and endless sea.

He is refining his bone marrow with qi and blood.

Although there is no follow-up exercise, he can still use qi and blood to refine the bone marrow, but this kind of crude tempering, compared with the tempering of the exercises, can be described as one heaven and one underground.

Li Qiu opened his eyes, a warm and moist light like jade flashed in his eyes, and after a moment of happiness, he frowned.

"After all, it won't work without follow-up exercises, this kind of cultivation speed is too slow!"

After being promoted to Martial Saint, that is, breaking through to the easy marrow stage, Li Qiu of course had to try to refine the bone marrow with qi and blood.

This feeling is very strange, different from the previous period of flesh training or bone strengthening, qi and blood focus on refining a certain part of the body, more like the blood coagulation period through the quenching of blood, so that all parts of the human body become stronger together.

However, compared with the blood refining in the coagulation period, the improvement brought by refining the bone marrow is more fundamental and closer to the source than the improvement brought by the refining of blood!

It's like when he is refining his blood, he is changing from a rabbit to a stronger rabbit.

And refining the bone marrow, he is turning from a rabbit into a beast, which is the transformation of the essence of life!

Just by tasting it, the feeling of this transformation of the essence of life is hard to forget, it is so wonderful!

When he was promoted to Martial Saint, although he had already undergone a transformation of the essence of his life, and with the help of the Blood Thorn Fruit, the degree was far beyond that of ordinary Martial Saints.

But the transformation at that time was too rapid, there was no time for him to feel it carefully, plus taking the blood vitex fruit had a feeling like thorns covering the body, this kind of beauty he didn't experience at all, and he only experienced the pain at the bottom, and the blood transformation was almost completed after the pain.

Now after experiencing this wonderful feeling of the transformation of the essence of life, Li Qiu was a little eager to obtain the source power to derive the follow-up exercises of the Great Sun Baking Furnace Sutra, and continue this transformation of the essence of life at a faster speed.

In the morning, I returned to the Heaven Survey Division, saw Guo Shaoyuan and Zhou Kaicheng, practiced for a while at noon, and in the afternoon Li Qiu left Fuzhou City, preparing to go to all parts of the world to kill weirdos.

Jiezhou, Floating Cloud City.

There is a floating cloud mountain more than ten miles east of Fuyun City.

Li Qiu repaired a little in Fuyun City, and then walked towards Fuyun Mountain.

As the name suggests, the mountain is stacked with white clouds like streamers, adding a bit of seclusion and ethereal.

However, according to local legends nearby, there is a thousand-year-old snake demon hidden in the mountain, which eats countless people, so that few hunters and medicine pickers dare to go into the mountains to hunt and collect medicine.

It is already an inaccessible place, and even less people have set foot on it.

Li Qiu entered the mountain, and what he did was the "thousand-year-old snake demon" in the mouth of the local people!

Actually, it was a weird, and it wasn't an ordinary weird.

It is marked on the map of the Sky Survey Division that there was a powerful second-rank Sky Surveyor who entered Fuyun Mountain and never came out again.

This weird one of Fuyun Mountain is very likely to have the strength of being invincible in the blood condensation period and even comparable to that of a martial saint!

As for its specific strength, because no one has gone to investigate, it is not known.

I'm afraid that only a martial saint can get out of Fuyun Mountain alive after exploring this strange strength, and Guo Shaoyuan and Zhou Kaicheng have the time and energy to come here to investigate.

Knowing that there are powerful monsters in this place, mark them on the map and let the Sky Surveyors pay attention.

Li Qiu is here to kill this weird, I don't know the strength of this weird, it's a little troublesome.

Fuyun Mountain is weird, only knows the lower limit of its strength, but does not know the upper limit of its strength.

Even with his strength with few enemies in the early stage of the Martial Saint, it was not impossible to be dangerous.

But there is no way to do it, this is the case, and he can only find out by himself.

Then again, if you want to benefit, but you don't want to take a little risk, and you don't pay anything, how can there be such a good thing in the world.

Li Qiu's expression was cold, holding a sword and a bow, he casually chose a direction and entered Fuyun Mountain.

Since he only knew that the monster was in Fuyun Mountain, and he didn't know where it was in Fuyun Mountain, he could only look for it in the mountain first.

The mountains are green, the trees are shady, the birds are chirping, and it is no different from other mountains and forests.

The only difference is that animals are rare.

Along the way, Li Qiu saw almost no wild beasts.

It stands to reason that Fuyun Mountain is less visited than other mountains, and there should be more beasts.

It seems that the beast sensed the anomaly in the mountain.

There are many strange things about wild beasts, such as when the ground movement has not yet occurred, the wild beast always notices it one step ahead of humans.

In the mountains and forests, suddenly a person walked out of the other direction.

A young man in a brocade robe, young in appearance, about twenty-six or seventeen years old, with a high nose and a wide mouth, a pair of sword eyebrows, bright eyes, a bit of upright and brave air on his body, and a long sword in his hand.

When Li Qiu found him, he also found Li Qiu.

When he saw Li Qiu, he frowned slightly, and hugged Li Qiu from afar.

"This brother, I don't know what you are doing in this Floating Cloud Mountain?"

Li Qiu glanced at him and did not speak.

The brocade-robed young man was stunned for a moment, then reacted, waved his hand and chuckled.

"Don't get me wrong, brother, I don't mean anything else. ”

"My name is Zhou He, and I am the eldest disciple of the Golden Leopard Martial Pavilion, one of the largest martial arts halls in Floating Cloud City. ”

"This brother, you should be a foreigner, right? You may not know, our local legend says that there is a thousand-year-old snake demon in this Fuyun Mountain!"

"Of course, this brother thinks that you should also be a martial artist, and you know that the thousand-year-old snake demon is just nonsense, eighty percent of it is a ghost or something. ”

"But the strength of this ghost is not bad, there was a martial artist in the Floating Cloud City who died in the Floating Cloud Mountain, and it is estimated that he died in the hands of this ghost. ”

"This brother, if you don't have the strength of the bone strengthening stage, it's best not to walk around in this floating cloud mountain, it's better to go out early!"

Li Qiu could see that this brocade-robed young man was sincere in what he said, and he was really worried that he would have something bad in this Fuyun Mountain.

But he only knew one and didn't know the other, in fact, not only did a martial artist in the flesh training period die in the hands of that ghost, but also a strong person in the blood coagulation period died in that ghost!

However, this incident happened more than a hundred years ago, and the second-rank Sky Surveyor died in Fuyun Mountain in a hurry, and the officials of Fuyun City did not know it at that time, let alone this brocade-clothed young man more than a hundred years later.

This brocade-clothed young man knew that a martial artist in the meat training period had died in the hands of that monster, so he thought that the monster probably had the strength of the bone strengthening stage, and it was normal not to think about it.

After all, his cognition should still be limited to a hundred miles of Floating Cloud City, and he has never seen a strong person stronger than the Bone Strengthening Stage, so he subconsciously estimated this strange strength as the Bone Strengthening Stage.

Just like when he was in Shangjiang City, if he heard that there was a ghost outside Shangjiang City who had killed a martial artist in the meat training period, he would also estimate its strength as the bone strengthening stage, and when he reached the late stage of the bone strengthening period, he would try to kill it to obtain the source power, and do the same thing as this brocade-clothed young man.

Who would have thought that in a small city where the strongest person is only in the late stage of the strong bone stage, not far from the mountains and forests, there is a terrifying ghost whose strength may be comparable to that of a martial saint!

It was also fortunate that he did not encounter a similar situation with this young man in brocade at that time, otherwise he would have died at this time.

"My name is Li Qiu, you said that you don't have the strength of the bone strengthening stage, it's best not to walk around in this floating cloud mountain, then you?"

"Although I am young, under the guidance of my family teacher, I already have the strength in the late stage of the strong bone stage, and I am traveling to Fuyun Mountain to kill that ghost!"

"The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to draft water, without this ghost, Fuyun Mountain can enter and exit freely, which will be a good thing for the people in Fuyun City and the surrounding areas!"

Zhou He is colorful.

He wants to kill the ghost of Fuyun Mountain for the people of Fuyun City and the people in the vicinity of a hundred miles!

At this age, he has the strength of the late stage of the strong bone stage, this Zhou He is a rare genius, and his qualifications are almost no worse than Cao Shao, who was with the bloodline of the Martial Saint at that time.

Of course, not all people with high qualifications have the bloodline of the Martial Saint.

Li Qiu's expression moved slightly, and he asked instead.

"You said you were going to kill the ghost of Fuyun Mountain, but do you know where the ghost is?"

Zhou He smiled.

"Although it is said that there is a thousand-year-old snake demon in Fuyun Mountain, everyone in the vicinity knows it, but there are still many brave medicine pickers and firewood pickers who are forced by life to enter Fuyun Mountain at risk. ”

Some of them died at the hands of the goblin, and the rest of the living figured out where the goblin was. ”

"After some careful inquiry, I learned this by luck. ”

"Oh?"

Li Qiu's expression moved slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Actually, I was passing by Fuyun City, and as soon as I heard that the local thousand-year-old snake demon said it, I knew that it was a ghost who harmed people, and I wanted to kill it, so I entered this Fuyun Mountain. ”

Zhou He frowned.

It's good for this person to want to kill ghosts, but if his strength is not enough, wouldn't he take his own life in vain.

Just when Zhou He was about to say these words in his heart euphemistically.

Li Qiu continued.

"I'm a little younger, but I have the strength to deal with that goblin. ”

Zhou He was slightly surprised, and then looked happy.

"Brother Li also has the strength of the strong bone stage, so why don't we go together and work together to kill that ghost?"

"It couldn't be better. ”

"Brother Li, let's go. ”

Zhou He didn't suspect that Li Qiu was lying, Li Qiu listened to his introduction, and dared to say so, he should really have the strength of the bone strengthening stage.

After all, he didn't think anyone would joke with their lives.

Although Li Qiu has a very young face, he even looks younger than him!

But he didn't underestimate the world because of his high qualifications.

At this age, it is not impossible for Li Qiu to have the strength of the bone strengthening stage.

He was not a man for fame and fortune, and he did not have the idea of killing this goblin alone to make a name for himself.

In this case, why not have one more person and more strength?

The two of them were together, led by Zhou He, and walked to the depths of Fuyun Mountain.

Along the way, the two talked casually.

When they really reached the depths of Fuyun Mountain, both of them stopped talking and focused on their surroundings, beware of being attacked by the ghost.

However, the difference was that Zhou He thought that the strange strength might be comparable to that of a strong bone stage martial artist, while Li Qiu thought that the weird might have the strength to rival the martial saint.

Deep in the Floating Cloud Mountain.

A strange trace suddenly appeared on the ground in front of the two of them, and the low grass and trees were roughly crushed and clung to the ground, and the traces meandered forward.

It was clear that a snake had passed by and left this trace.

However, judging from the size of the traces, if it had not been forged, this snake would have been almost as thick as a human waist and several zhang long!

The two stopped, and Li Qiu's expression changed slightly.

Every time he encounters a strange strange situation with unknown circumstances, he will go to the city near the birthplace of the strange to inquire about the news.

The main thing is to inquire about the local legends about weirdness.

Although it is not credible to say that there are mandrills, spirits, and goblins.

But he can often detect strange scales and half-claws from legends.

The legend about this strange beast in Floating Cloud City is that it is a thousand-year-old snake demon, and there is basically no other theory.

This proves that this weirdness in Fuyun Mountain should really have something to do with snakes.

Eighty percent of the traces I see now are left by that strange one.

Weird can't get out of their birthplace, and this trace in front of them means that they have unknowingly stepped into the weird birthplace, and that weird may be nearby!

Zhou He looked startled and a little curious at the same time.

He knew that ghosts meant yin ghosts and weirdness, and he also knew the characteristics of yin ghosts and weirdness.

He had even killed a Yin Ghost with his own hands, but he had never seen anything weird.

He heard that the strange appearance was different from that of the ghosts, and some of them were strange, and he wanted to see them with his own eyes.

He guessed that the ghost in Fuyun Mountain should be a monster.

Looking at the traces in front of him, it is not difficult to guess that he will soon see this weird.

I don't know what this weird one looks like.

Zhou He thought about it, and was about to continue walking forward to carefully check the traces, but was stopped by Li Qiu's outstretched hand.

"Brother Li?"

Zhou He wondered.

Li Qiu's expression was a little serious.

"We've entered the birthplace of that weird, you're not the odds of that weird, so go back the way you came before the weird one appears......"

Zhou He was even more puzzled.

He felt that Li Qiu seemed to have changed into a person in an instant, his momentum was a little overwhelming, and there was an inexplicable convincing power between his words.

Although Li Qiu didn't look like he was lying to him, Zhou He couldn't help but ask suspiciously

"Why, Brother Li, does he know anything I don't know?"

"This weird is not what you think, it is only the strength of the strong bone stage, it is likely to have the strength to rival the martial saint!"

"Rival the Martial Saint?!"

Zhou He's face changed drastically, and he instinctively retorted.

"How is that possible?!"

He looked at Li Qiu's young face with a suspicious expression.

"Brother Li, aren't you joking with me and trying to scare me?"

If Li Qiuruo told him that this weird one had the strength to be invincible in the strong bone stage or in the visceral stage, he might believe it.

But to match the Martial Saint, it seemed to him that it was a little too bizarre, and he really couldn't believe it!

And that weird one has the strength to rival the Martial Saint, Li Qiu let him go but wanted to stay by himself, doesn't it mean that he has the strength to fight against the Martial Saint?!

How can it be?!
