Xu Ning mentioned this, and Gu Yan's brows furrowed. Over the years, she has been using the ancient puppet technique and testing the puppet, and the beginning has been extremely smooth, but when she refines to the later stage of the pill, the more advanced puppet, there is a problem, that is, on the batch of soul stones left by Zimo, the demonic energy is too deep.

This is not a problem for Zimo herself, she was originally a demon cultivator, and the puppet technique she practiced also carried a strong shadow of the demon gate technique, but what Gu Yan cultivated was the authentic way of the Xuanmen, and it was better to be a low-level puppet, and if she wanted to refine a puppet in the later stage of the Jiedan, it was extremely difficult to integrate between the two, Gu Yan had opened the furnace several times, all of them failed, and he was accompanied by dozens of soul stones in vain. This retreat also has the intention of wanting to understand this level.

Seeing Xu Ning's very annoyed look at this time, she knew that she had nothing to gain, and said with a smile: "If the matter is really so simple and can be solved, it will not be ten thousand years, no one will be able to refine the puppet technique." Let's figure it out slowly. ”

When Xu Ning heard this, she knew that Gu Yan hadn't thought of any good way, she whispered: "I was thinking, since the two breaths, since they can't be combined into one, then, let's get rid of one of them, I opened the Dan furnace this time to refine the demonic qi on the soul stone, but it has been several months since the furnace was opened, and the soul stone has never moved like a loose ......"

As soon as she said this, she suddenly heard a loud bang erupting in the Dan room behind her, and with a bang, half of the roof of the Dan room was lifted, and the Dan furnace inside had exploded into powder, and there was a pile of powder in the original Dan furnace location. It was the few soul stones that were originally thrown into the Dan furnace by Xu Ning.

Xu Ning covered her mouth with her hand. There was a "Ahhh rushed up and rummaged through those broken powders for a long time, but the soul stones had all been blown into powder and could no longer be found.

Her face was red, almost as if she was going to cry, these soul stones were obtained by Gu Yan from the Heavenly Wind Valley, and now on the Cangwu Continent. There is no more, there is one less with one, and this time, all at once, she was made to refine several pieces, which really annoyed her.

Xu Ning lowered her head, her eyes seemed to be staring at her toes, Gu Yan couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "Forget it, it's just a few soul stones, you don't have to blame yourself for being like this." Just next time. I'm probably going to have to change you to a sturdy Dan furnace. ”

At this time, there were already disciples of the Bixia Sect who heard the movement and came to inquire outside the Spirit Garden. Gu Yan waved his hand and told them to go, Xu Ning heard Gu Yan's banter, and his face was even redder like ripe grapes.

Gu Yan casually looked at the pile of powder that was blown up under her feet, suddenly said "Huh", walked over quickly, stretched out his hand and twisted some up, looked at it carefully, his face couldn't help but show joy, patted Xu Ning's shoulder, and said: "Your method, it's really not useless, isn't the demonic energy on it gone?" ”

Xu Ning said "ah", she was only worried just now, and she hadn't paid attention to the pile of powder under her feet, and then she looked carefully, and sure enough, the demonic energy on it had already subsided. She was pleasantly surprised and said, "It's really useful......

It's just that this voice of joy stopped abruptly in the middle of it, and she said with some hesitation: "Even if the demonic qi on it is refined, the original characteristics of the soul stone are gone, and now it has simply exploded into a pile of powder, what use can it be?" ”

Gu Yan's mood was obviously very good, she smiled and flicked Xu Ning's forehead, "Since it can eliminate the demonic energy on it, it means that this method is the right way, as for the soul stone being refined, there may be many reasons, but as long as the path is right, let's follow this path and slowly explore." This time, you've done a great job! ”

Xu Ning was praised by Gu Yan, her face was flushed, she was very happy, Gu Yan groaned and said: "Demon Qi and Danhuo are inherently mutually restrictive, the combination of the two will inevitably produce abnormalities that are difficult to grasp, and the blazing energy in Danhuo is too strong, and it is not easy to master, if there is a cold and ice qi, then it is the most suitable ......."

Although Xu Ning's method was right, Gu Yan found that she was stumped, although she was one of the most profound alchemists in Cangwu, with the innate seven fires, even the ancient pill recipe could be restored, but these flames, although they could burn away the demonic qi, would also destroy the original structure of the soul stone, and they must use the cold ice qi. If her Xuanluo Bead is still there, then it is the most suitable. It's a pity that when she was in Tianji, the Xuanluo Bead had been rocked away by Jiufang, and now in her hands, there is no such thing in her hands.

She pondered for a moment, and then said, "When I was in retreat, I thought about it and thought about it, and it seemed that I was going to go out of the mountains. ”

Xu Ning said happily: "Ancestor, can you take me there?" ”

Gu Yan said with a smile: "You are in the Spirit Garden, so stay in Haode, when you advance to the late stage of the Jiedan, then you can go down the mountain, otherwise, isn't that the person who will lose me?" ”

Xu Ning let out a "hmm", lowered her head, looked at the tips of her shoes, and only looked at Gu Yan with the corner of her eye.

Gu Yan said with a smile: "Okay, I'll leave the elixir and magic recipe for you, you are here, so haode will show me the spirit garden, don't think about going down the mountain this time!" ”

Xu Ning knew that although Gu Yan was easy-going, he had no room for change in his words, so he had no choice but to respond, but he was overjoyed when he thought that he could use the spirit grass and refine the puppet at will in the spirit garden. And Gu Yan asked Xu Ning to invite Lin Zitong over.

In the past ten years, the Bixia Sect is still developing steadily, fighting with the Demon Gate several times, but it is only a small and medium-sized scale, and it has not affected the vitality of the Bixia Sect, and Yuan Zitan, a few years ago, took care of all the affairs of the clan, and took all the elite children of the clan to completely merge into the Bixia Sect, so that the name of the Yuan clan will never reappear in Yunze.

At this point, the royal family that had been in Yunze back then, as well as the Yuan and Qin families, were scattered.

After Yuan Zitan came to Danxia Mountain, Gu Yan also fulfilled his promise that year, and let the elite children of the Yuan family worship under the disciples of the two Yuan Infant Monks respectively, and they personally taught them, while Gu Yan began to help Yuan Zitan get married.

It's just a matter of getting married, seven points to rely on yourself, two points of providence. There is only one point artificial. Although Yuan Zitan had the help of Gu Yan's ancient elixir. But after two retreats, I always felt that the time was not enough, and I didn't dare to easily impact Yuanying.

Gu Yan knew that because when he was in a standoff with Qin Chong before, he had failed to attack the baby twice, and he had left a demonic obstacle in his heart, and he couldn't easily get married because he couldn't get through this obstacle, so he was not in a hurry. Now, Yuan Zitan is still in retreat in the Eight Extremes Chaos Yuan Array, and the next time he breaks through, I don't know when it will be.

She asked Lin Zitong and others to be optimistic about Yuan Zitan, if he can get married, it will be the fourth Yuan Infant Monk of Bixia Sect, and under the current chaos, the impact on the strength of Bixia Sect is extremely important.

Lin Zitong listened to Gu Yan's words. As if he had an explanation, he said, "Master Gu this time." Are you going to go down again? ”

Gu Yan nodded, "I'm going to go to the north for a walk!" ”

If it was really as she expected, she could use the cold qi to refine the demonic qi on the soul stone, then she would be able to freely refine a large number of puppets in the late stage of the Yudan, which was an extremely important thing, therefore, coupled with the fact that she had been in retreat for more than ten years, her cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and she wanted to go out for a walk in person.

Looking at the vastness, if you want to find the most suitable ice qi, then it is between the white mountains and black waters, where the Chen family of the white cliff is located. She had heard Chen Hanqing mention that between the white mountains and black waters, there stood a thousand-zhang snow peak, which was called the "White Cliff", which was also the foundation of the Chen family.

Although when it comes to the purest ice qi, the extreme north of the Feichuan River and the ice field of thousands of miles are more suitable than between the white mountains and black waters, but it is the entrenchment place of the demon beasts, and there is the ninth-order beast king Jian Bingru sitting there, Gu Yan doesn't want to brush his tiger whiskers easily.

Speaking of which, the Jian Yue that Gu Yan knew when he was in Nanpu was Jian Bingru's daughter, and later Jian Bingru went to Nantianmen in person and took her daughter away, and Lin Feng also chased after her, and until now, there is no news.

It's just that when Gu Yan was trapped in Phoenix Terrace, Lin Feng once sent a letter to Chi Lian Peak, informing him of his well-being, and since then, there has been no news, and Gu Yan's heart sometimes thinks of these two friends who were born and died together, and he is also very worried. It's just that recently, she is afraid that she will not have the opportunity to go to the Arctic Ice Field.

Lin Zitong also knew that Gu Yan had been studying puppet art in recent years, and now she must have encountered any problems in refining puppets, she didn't say much, but said: "If Master Gu has any arrangements, just command." ”

Gu Yan said: "After I leave, the Lingyuan will be cooked by Xu Ning, you can take care of Yuan Zitan." I will not bother with the rest of the foreign affairs. ”

Lin Zitong had a smile on his face, "It's a blessing for her to have Master Gu's care." ”

Gu Yan daxiao got up. After making these arrangements, she left the spiritual garden and quietly set off alone, heading north.

Before she left, she also brought the Heavenly Hammer that was squeezed from Ziyang Zhenren's hands.

When they were in the Tibetan Sword Villa, Ziyang and Yuding took advantage of the pressure to occupy the map of the Tibetan Sword Villa, and they were made by Ye Yunting, who had cultivated into an innate formless sword qi, and finally had no choice, Ziyang Zhenren handed over the treasure Tiangong hammer of the Tianji Gate refiner, Gu Yan said that he borrowed it at the time, but there was no agreed deadline, Ziyang Zhenren never came to ask for it, and Gu Yan did not mean to pay it back.

This Tiangong hammer has a miraculous effect on refining weapons, and she is trying to use this treasure to refine a few more puppets. This time she went to White Cliffs, and if it went well, she would be there for a little longer.

And she still has a plan that she didn't even tell Xu Ning, she went to the white mountains and black waters this time, and she also wanted to find a crystal soul.

It is extremely difficult to refine a puppet in the infancy stage, and the purple ink of that year was only passed down to twelve gold armor bronze people, and to refine such a puppet, the most important thing is to have a crystal soul.

Ordinary soul stones can't support the aura needed by the Yuan Infant Stage puppet at all, and the purple flame crystal soul that she inadvertently got when she returned to the Ruins Sea was such a strange thing, which was used by Lin Jiaxiu to refine it into a bone dragon, and now, whether in Cangwu or the South China Sea, she couldn't find a suitable crystal soul. Even if there is a purple flame crystal, the aura in it is not enough to support a puppet in the primordial infancy.

And Xu Ning's discovery gave Gu Yan another idea, since the ice qi could be dissolved, the demonic qi on it could be removed. Rerefine the Soul Stone. So. Can the Thousands of Ice and Snow Heroes also be refined into crystal souls?

It's just that such a strange thing is really unavoidable, so Gu Yan didn't care too much. After she got off Danxia Mountain, she hid her tracks, urged Jin Lei Yu, and went straight north.

Although over the years, that Xuanting Demon Ancestor. He has never come to trouble Gu Yan, and according to Ning Fengzi, even if he accepts his other remnant soul and wants to refine it, he can't do it without hundreds of years of hard work, but Gu Yan has always been jealous of him, not to mention that he has a son-killing enmity with himself.

Therefore, Gu Yan was extremely careful along the way. And as far as she could see. On the Cangwu Continent, there was indeed a chaotic situation.

It's not just a battle between the Ten Great Factions and the Demon Gate. Countless scattered cultivators seem to have been divided into two distinct factions, one faction stands on the side of the ten major factions, standing firmly against the demon gate, while the other faction is called by the scattered cultivation alliance and driven by them.

In the cangwu, the boundary between mortals and immortals was not obvious, but when everyone was fighting, they could still uphold an unwritten rule and would not easily attack mortals. But now, although these battles are not visible, they have gradually hurt the foundation of the immortal cultivation world. Gu Yan couldn't help but sigh when he saw that kind of miserable situation, although the chaos in Cangwu has not yet been fully revealed, he doesn't know how many years it will take to recover.

She is not the kind of person who is indiscriminately merciful, when she encounters chaos, she can stretch out her hand, just take care of it, sometimes, just let it go, but in a few days, she has reached the middle of the cangwu, crossed the place where the Ziluo Gorge was, in front of her, is a mighty river, a thousand miles away.

After crossing this river, she can be regarded as leaving Yuyang Prefecture, where Tianjimen is located, and can enter the Chaoyin Kingdom controlled by the Chen family.

On the Cangwu Continent, the sixteen countries of Kyushu, the Chen family occupies the land of two countries and one state, all in the north of Cangwu, extending down along a line, the southernmost is Chaoyin, followed by the northern country, until the northernmost Yunshan Prefecture, and the foundation of the Baiya Chen family, Qianzhang Snow Peak, also stands there, and the focus of the Chen family and the demon gate is also in that place. As one of the three major demon venerables of the Demon Gate, the fifth division of Lou sits there all the year round, directing the demon cultivators under his command to fight with the Chen family.

In the Chen family, there are a total of five monks in the Yuan Infant Stage, including Chen Hanqing, and the current patriarch of the Chen family, Chen Hanqing's father, has been in retreat on the Thousand Zhangxue Peak decades ago, impacting the realm of the Yuan Dynasty, but there is still no news. The Chen family, on the other hand, is recognized as the second largest shili in the cangwu sect in addition to the Danding faction, and of course, the Yuxu Palace, which is high above, is not counted.

Originally, it was possible for the Hidden Sword Villa to break hands with the Chen family, after all, after Su Man's arrow was married, Ye Yunting was promoted again, and they should also have five sword venerables. However, Yun Yue died in Tianfeng Valley, Yun Chi was seriously injured and self-proclaimed sword soul, and the momentum of the Hidden Sword Villa suddenly declined. Now it is no longer possible to compete with the Chen family.

Among the remaining eight factions, the Danding faction is the strongest, and the Tianji Gate is the weakest. In the midst of several changes, the Chen family has slowly shown its sharpness. Gu Yan's heart couldn't help but sigh a little, he didn't know what position the Bixia Sect could stand in the end in this tide.

The river in front of you, called Miluo, is the place where Tianjimen and the Chen family divide the field, the river is turbulent, often in the daytime, there are dozens of zhang of tide rolling up, all day long, only when it comes to the time of hope, it will subside, at that time, there will be a place of ferrying by the river.

And now, it is the day of crossing the river twice a month, and the river is calm, but Gu Yan can't see that there is a ferry here, and the people who want to cross the river on both sides are stopped on the opposite side, Gu Yan originally wanted to cross the river quietly, but at this time, she couldn't help but feel a little curious, she hid her cultivation, and when she didn't enter the crowd, she heard the voices of those people talking.

Waiting to cross the river here, are relatively low-level monks, because in the Miluo River, legend has it that because of the Dao Demon War, countless monks died here, dyeing hundreds of miles of river surface red, the condensed murderous aura endured for a long time, only to produce such a big tide, in the tide, the murderous aura is vertical and horizontal, the monks in the general qi refining period can not resist, only when they reach the Dan period, can they be above the river, come and go freely, not limited by the tide.

At this time, someone was talking and saying: "What is the Tianji Gate doing, why can't you even open the ferry?" ”

A person next to him whispered, "Shhh Didn't you read the notice issued a few days ago, Tianjimen is going to seal this river for a month, and people on both sides are not allowed to cross the river. ”

The person who spoke earlier was very angry and said: "Those people from Tianji Gate, with their cultivation, can naturally come and go freely, but what about us, if we can't cross the river for a month, how many major events will be delayed?" ”

The man smiled bitterly and said, "Then what can be done?" Everyone is an immortal master, and they can come and go freely on this Miluo River, what do you care about? ”

Another person next to him said, "Both, be careful!" Haven't you heard, this time it's the order of Zixiao Zhenren of Tianji Gate! ”

When the two men heard this, they immediately stopped, looked around a few times, and then hurriedly walked away.

When Gu Yan heard this, his brows moved slightly, it turned out that the Zixiao real person from Tianji Gate actually came in person.

Zixiao is Ziyang's junior disciple, and he is also the second Yuanying Monk in the Heavenly Machine Sect, but Gu Yan has not seen him before.

The affairs of Tianjimen are usually brought forward by Ziyang, the head of the sect, that is, during the last Ziluo Gorge War, Zixiao is said to be in retreat and did not come forward, which can be regarded as an extremely mysterious figure. And Gu Yan once heard Chen Hanqing mention that it was Zixiao Zhenren who was the one who had obtained the true inheritance of the secret method of refining the Heavenly Machine Gate, and his style of acting was decisive and ruthless, which was completely different from Ziyang. This time, he issued an order to seal the Miluo River on the Miluo River, what are he going to do?

Thinking of this, she asked the person who began to speak, "Brother Tai, do you know what is the purpose of the order to seal the river issued by Zixiao Zhenren?" ”

The man glanced at Gu Yan and wanted to walk away, but found that he couldn't see through her cultivation, so he couldn't help but move in his heart, and said with a smile: "Yuan Ying's actions, where can we speculate?" But I've heard that they're looking for something in the Miluo River......"

As soon as he said this, suddenly, on the Miluo River, without warning, the waves that poured into the sky rolled up, and rows of huge waves like heavy buildings rolled over, and suddenly, dozens of monks standing by the river were suddenly swept into the river, and were completely swallowed up by the surging river.

Everyone exclaimed.

Most of the people standing by the river are monks in the Qi refining and foundation building period, and they only have one or two flying magic weapons at most.

And the waves on the Miluo River, like a white line, surging along the center of the river, in the blink of an eye, hundreds of people were swallowed by the tide.

The person who was talking to Gu Yan didn't care about any more, turned around and ran backwards. And the tide was already coming behind him, Gu Yan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, grabbed his collar, flew forward, and left the river hundreds of zhang away in a blink of an eye.

The man was shocked for a moment, looked at Gu Yan, and exclaimed, "Fly with qi, without the help of magic weapons, you ...... Are you a real person? ”

He probably would never have thought that the person standing in front of him was actually a Yuanying Patriarch.

Gu Yan didn't say anything, she just said: "This Miluo River, isn't there a calm every other day, why is it ...... this time?"

As soon as she said this, suddenly from the sky, there was a whining sound like a conch, and then it seemed to roll a long rainbow from the sky, sweeping all the clouds in half of the sky layer by layer. A young monk in a white robe embroidered with black trim and an incomparably majestic appearance was already standing in the air, and one of his big hands, pressed down from the air, and he flattened the surging river, and shouted: "Everyone leave this place!" ”

The person in front of Gu Yan was shocked, and said, "Zixiao Zhenren, actually here?" (To be continued.) )
