In the Immortal Tower, although Lin Yan had also heard rumors about monsters, the content was extremely limited, there was not much valuable information at all, and it did not have reference significance.

The shopkeeper Gao took a sip of tea and said quietly: "This so-called monster has actually been seen by no one!"

"How do you say this?" Lin Yan was stunned, a little confused.

"Because the people who have seen the monsters are all dead, and the living people are only speculating based on imagination, and we have also investigated this, and even sent people to investigate it in person, but we found nothing!" Although the tone of the shopkeeper was very flat, it made the people who heard it feel terrified.

Lin Yan was stunned, his face was also obviously affected, and he changed slightly, and Yang Qi and Liang Fengjin on the side couldn't help but look nervous.

After a while, Lin Yan calmed down, "Didn't you even find the footprints or hair of the monster, isn't there any clue?"

"No!" Shopkeeper Gao shook his head seriously, "Even the corpses of those dead adventurers have disappeared without a trace, it is hard to imagine what happened, and even makes people wonder if they are dead or alive!"

"How so?"

Lin Yan and Yang Qi were stunned for a moment!

Liang Fengjin on the side immediately asked: "Is it true that all the dead adventurers are like this, and there is no trace of their corpses?"

"That's not it, there are quite a lot of adventurers who go to the mountains and forests around Bluestone Town, and there are some brute beasts there, although most of those brute beasts are relatively common and not very strong, but they are all quite ferocious, and they always come out in groups, even if some adventurers are not weak, once they encounter them, they will inevitably be killed and injured. The corpses of the adventurers who died in this situation were naturally eaten by the brutes, and most of the adventurers who were alive had seen this kind of scene. ”

"The 'missing adventurers' I am talking about do not belong to this case, but people who have disappeared inexplicably without encountering brute beasts at all, and without obvious fighting, because their companions have never heard any sound of fighting when they found them missing, as if they had suddenly disappeared from the world. ”

"Didn't my companions hear their voices or calls when they disappeared?" Lin Yan became more and more bizarre the more he listened.

"We also asked, but in fact we didn't!" Shopkeeper Gao shook his head, "That's why the living adventurers speculated that the culprit was a terrifying monster!"

"Could that be the work of a human being, such as a very powerful mysterious powerhouse!" Lin Yan guessed, after all, for a certain Xuandan Realm powerhouse, it was very easy to make those adventurers evaporate from the world without knowing it.

"Although this possibility cannot be completely ruled out, we can't find any clues to support this inference, because even the powerhouses of the Xuandan Realm are very difficult to do without leaving a trace, and in fact, it is true, the people we sent have not found any breath left by the powerhouses of the Xuandan Realm, not even a trace of Yuan Force fluctuations or battles. So it can only be thought of as some kind of mysterious and terrifying monster!"

Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Gao suddenly changed his words, "Another thing is strange, according to the information provided by some adventurers, the number of brute beasts there was not very large in the past, and they were not very ferocious, but this change has only occurred recently. ”

"This is more and more unusual!" Lin Yan muttered in a low voice, and at the same time thoughtful.

"It also needs to be reminded that it was only when the Blue Star Begonia appeared that those adventurers mysteriously disappeared, and they were all near the place where the Blue Star Begonia appeared, so it can be concluded that the monster must have a mysterious connection with the Blue Star Begonia, and even to harvest the Blue Star Begonia. And this is also the reason why so far, no one has ever gotten the blue star begonia. ”

The shopkeeper Gao said: "Therefore, many adventurers say that if anyone sees the Blue Star Begonia, they must prepare to evaporate from the world! But even so, more and more people are going there to find the Blue Star Begonia, and even the people of the five major sects can't bear it, and even go there in groups." ”

Liang Fengjin was already a little nervous, "It seems that this trip is more auspicious and less auspicious!

Obviously, he was worried about Lin Yan's safety, and even hoped that Lin Yan would give up his agreement with Chihiro Yue.

"That's reasonable!" shopkeeper Gao hurriedly helped, "Lin Gongzi, I suggest you think about it again, it's best to think twice!"

"If you don't go and see it yourself, how do you know what secrets are there!Maybe you'll find something interesting!" Lin Yan smiled instead, and in his faint tone, there seemed to be some kind of mystery hinting at it......

Next, Lin Yan proposed to buy some medicinal materials, but his grandfather took more than 100 Lin family members to leave their hometown to go to Zeyan City for development, and these clansmen are loyal to their grandfather, and he must reciprocate.

In addition, they also need to provide certain resources, and Lin Yan wants to improve their strength, and he also plans to provide some Yuan Ling Pill, Mixed Yuan Quenching Bone Pill and Mixed Yuan Body Shaping Pill to help them improve their physique and enhance their bloodline.

Seeing that Lin Yan had made such a list of such a number of medicinal materials, and some of them had quite strange effects, Shopkeeper Gao couldn't help but be curious, "Young Master Lin, why do you need so many medicinal materials, I don't know what they are for?"

Obviously, he didn't know that Lin Yan was an alchemist, because Ji Feihong's message did not involve this information.

Of course, Lin Yan also reached an agreement with Ji Qianpian to become a guest of Duobaolou, but Ji Qianpian only informed Ji Feihong and did not spread the news, so few people knew about Duobaolou, so that almost no one knew about Duobaolou in other places.

"I want to have time to refine some pills. Lin Yan didn't think much about it, and responded casually, he thought that his identity as a guest had already been known to the other party.

However, Shopkeeper Gao was even more surprised, "Oh, I didn't expect that Lin Gongzi is also an alchemist, and is he preparing to participate in the 'Tiandu Alchemy Elite Competition'?"

Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, "What is the 'Tiandu Alchemy Elite Competition?'"

Shopkeeper Gao didn't expect Lin Yan to know nothing about this, and he was even more puzzled, but he also quickly explained, "It's just to hold an alchemy competition in Tiandu City, the scale is huge, the influence is very wide, and it is said that the rewards are also extremely rich!

"I really haven't heard of it!" Lin Yan shook his head, not to mention any alchemy elite competition, he had never even heard of the place "Tiandu City", the circle he lived in was basically people from the secular world, and he knew very little about what was happening in the cultivation world.

Liang Fengjin on the side was puzzled: "I heard that Tiandu City is the most open and chaotic place in the entire wasteland, and there will be an alchemy competition there, but I don't know if it is hosted by the Alchemist Alliance?"

"As far as I know, it is not hosted by the Alchemist Alliance, but by a place called 'Taiyue Tower', but I heard that the 'Taiyue Tower' has also invited alchemy elites from major forces, families and sects, including the Alchemist Alliance, to participate, and my Duobaolou is naturally among the invitees. The shopkeeper replied.

"What is Tiandu City, and what kind of organization is Taiyue Tower?" Lin Yan was obviously full of curiosity about that place when he heard the Tiandu City that Liang Fengjin briefly introduced just now, and at the same time he was a little interested in Taiyue Tower.

"Tiandu City is known as the most prosperous city in Huangzhou, known as the 'first city in Huangzhou', and it is also because there are no rulers there, and even the five major sects cannot intervene, so it seems very chaotic, but in fact, because anyone can enter and exit at will, resulting in people from all over the world, especially the 'sinners' of the five major sects, making it a veritable paradise for refuge!"

"Of course, since there are no rulers there, there are no rules, only belief in strength, all kinds of conflicts are commonplace, killing people and stealing goods is also the most common thing, but there are also rich resources and wealth, attracting countless people to go to pan for gold!"

Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Gao smiled, and then introduced Taiyue Tower, "As for Taiyue Tower, as far as we know, it is actually a commercial organization, and it has close cooperation with many sect forces, including the five major sects, it seems that it is mainly to help these sects collect special resources, and it has been for many years, resulting in a very close relationship between them. Therefore, these sects have responded positively to the invitation it has issued. ”

"Then why did this Taiyue Tower hold such an alchemy competition, and what is its purpose?" Lin Yan knew very well that there was no special purpose, who would hold any alchemy competition, there must be a hidden meaning in this, and he also had a certain interest in it.

"This ...... We don't know about it at the moment, and to be honest, we're puzzled and curious about it. And Taiyue Lou didn't give a clear explanation, but only emphasized the importance of alchemists and pills, and came up with an irresistible reward, it is said that the champion can get a Xuan-level advanced martial art, and he will also get an ancient pill, in addition to a five-thousand-year-old medicinal herb and ten thousand-year-old medicinal herbs, which can be described as extremely rich!"

The eyes of the shopkeeper Gao couldn't help but radiate a yearning gaze.

Lin Yan was also shocked when he heard this, for him, the Xuan-level advanced martial arts were purely chicken ribs, as for the so-called ancient pill recipe, it was meaningless, but the five thousand year medicinal materials could have a strong attraction, and even the ten thousand years of medicinal materials had a great stimulating effect, because for a spirit pill master like him, what he needed most was this kind of medicinal materials, and he could give full play to the maximum value of these medicinal materials.

However, he was secretly thinking at the moment: to be able to move so high, put on such a big battle, and come up with such a rich prize, it seems that this Taiyue Tower is not small, but what is it for?

He was always puzzled by this, but he also knew that he couldn't figure it out at the moment, so he simply didn't think about it anymore.

Shopkeeper Gao saw that Lin Yan was thoughtful, because he was quite tempted, so he couldn't help but ask: "If Lin Gongzi is confident in his alchemy, why don't you give it a try, I can arrange registration for you." ”

Although Lin Yan did not deny that he knew how to do alchemy, the shopkeeper Gao did not know what Lin Yan's alchemy level was, but he speculated through Lin Yan that Lin Yan was a gold-level VIP that Lin Yan's alchemy skills were definitely not weak, and many of the medicinal materials that Lin Yan bought were not purchased by ordinary alchemists, which showed that Lin Yan must have something extraordinary.

Of course, he wouldn't think that Lin Yan had superb alchemy skills, after all, Lin Yan was just a hairy boy who hadn't even reached the age of a weak crown.

Lin Yan shook his head, "Excuse me, I'm just asking casually, how can a person like me who only knows how to refine the fur of alchemy go to participate in that kind of competition, or is it more practical to study at home honestly." ”

He said this on purpose, in order to test the other party's understanding of himself, and as for what he really thought in his heart, he himself was not clear at present.

Seriously, he was a little interested in this so-called Alchemy Classic, but he was not very strong either, because he didn't understand the real purpose of this competition, and he was even more disdainful of making a name for himself.

However, the medicinal herbs in the prize have a strong attraction to him, this is ten thousand-year-old medicinal herbs and one five-thousand-year-old medicinal herb, which is definitely rare and unattainable, and it is difficult to have another chance if you miss it.

"What a pity!" Shopkeeper Gao sighed, "A genius like Lin Gongzi should participate in this kind of event more, on the one hand, he can see a broader world, and on the other hand, he can also improve his skills." ”

Hearing this, Lin Yan had already guessed the probability, and he was secretly satisfied with Ji Feihong in his heart: It seems that the owner of Ji Lou and his daughter are quite cautious and have not revealed too much about my situation!

Then he clasped his fist at the shopkeeper Gao: "Thank you Shopkeeper Gao for providing so much information, I am really grateful!"

"Lin Gongzi is polite, these are what I should do!" The shopkeeper Gao also returned the salute with a fist.

Soon, the medicinal materials that Lin Yan needed were ready, fortunately, he had a gold-level VIP status, and he could enjoy a lot of discounts, but in the end, he also spent a lot of gold coins, but he still left Duobaolou with satisfaction, and Jiang Lingsha and Liang Yuexuan were left here by him, and he also let them be each other's companions......

————

Dark clouds in the sky covered the land, and a misty drizzle of rain dripped down the endless mountain forest, leaving the land vast, and the lush forest was full of towering trees, but it seemed to be full of life, but there was a faint sense of terror in the air.

And in this seemingly uninhabited, somewhat mysterious mountain forest, but on the side of a gentle hill, a mountain villa with a different style has appeared, and the buildings in it are densely packed, quietly receiving the gentle washing of the rain!

And in the distance, there is a tall and majestic mountain range, looming under the drizzle, as if covered with a veil!

"This is our destination, Cuiming Villa, it's really a good place, not only secret, but also the vitality of heaven and earth is extremely rich, it's really an excellent place for self-cultivation and sentiment!"

As soon as he came to this Cuiming Villa, Lin Yan couldn't help but admire!

Qianxun beside him flipped through the silver, "I don't see it, you still have leisure and leisure, and your mood is also very comfortable and happy!"

"Of course, in this mountain forest infested by wild beasts, there is such a manor that is like a paradise, it is really unexpected, it is estimated that it has cost a huge price to build such a large mountain villa!" Lin Yan was also amazed as he walked.

On the surface, it looks like an ordinary mountain villa, but when you look closely, you will find that it is full of mysteries, and it is simply a military fortress with strong defense.

Liang Fengjin and Yang Qi were also shocked by what they saw, because this mountain villa not only occupies a huge area, but also the various buildings are extremely solid, there are almost no wooden structures, and they are all made of hard boulders.

In addition, they noticed that there was a vague aura in each building, which was very hidden, but it was difficult to escape their detection.

It seems that this place is not as simple as it seems, and there must be some kind of secret hidden here!

Qianxunyue obviously noticed the expressions of Lin Yan and the others, just smiled, and said: "It seems that you have found something unusual here, don't hide it from you, this is actually a fortress, but it is not the mountain forest outside, but a secret treasure!"

The three of them were stunned!
