Without a cold bone, how can the plum blossoms be fragrant?

After surviving the initial pain, the moment Zhang Yunfan withdrew his divine consciousness from the black lotus, a sound sense of relief permeated his heart.

"It seems to have grown a lot, and the Soul Refining Lotus really deserves its name." Zhang Yunfan's face was delighted, and he sat cross-legged and observed the sea, but he saw that the rivers in the sea were becoming wider and wider, and this width was extending in all directions at a slow speed, which was not visible to the naked eye, but could be perceived clearly.

A decision to gain a point, Zhang Yunfan took the risk of the danger that might come in the future, and boldly borrowed the Soul Refining Lotus to refine the divine sense, which was undoubtedly very risky, but the risk was far less real than the harvest. It is foreseeable that it will not be long before the river in the sea of knowledge will become a surging river, and Zhang Yunfan's divine sense will definitely reach an incredible height, which is beyond people's reach.

At the same time, Zhang Yunfan was also thinking about how to correct the position occupied by the black lotus in cultivation, thinking about it, deciding to make the best use of it, using it as an auxiliary tool, and then stripping the black lotus out when he has a certain ability in the future, so that he can not only get benefits, but also avoid unpredictable troubles.

Having made up his mind, Zhang Yunfan got up, stretched his arms, and strode towards the stone room where the old man's bones were located.

Entering the stone room, Zhang Yunfan first looked for the exit, and found that the exit of the stone room was the same as his idea when he excavated the secret room, set the hole on the ground, open the stone slab, and below was a straight stone step, leading to the outside, all the way down the tunnel, and when he got out of the hole, he found that the hole was just on the side of a stone wall in the valley under the Tiezhu Peak, and a bush of dense thorns was hidden in front of it.

Through the thorns, the vision suddenly opened up, and in front of him was the stream in the valley of Tiezhufeng, where Zhang Yunfan had caught fish many times, and the scene had long been engraved in his mind.

Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, Zhang Yunfan felt a lot of emotion in his heart, he almost lost his life last night, but he didn't expect to see the bright and shining star alive now, and his depressed mood suddenly became extremely comfortable.

Turning back to the cave, a fire burned the old man's body into a pile of ashes, took the ashes out, and threw them into the stream, and the gurgling stream washed the ashes downstream, without a trace.

After disposing of the old man's body, Zhang Yunfan returned to the cave again, this time he disguised the entrance of the cave, and then turned on the retreat mode. The main purpose of this retreat is to improve the realm, but before that, it is necessary to deal with the items left behind by the old man.

In addition to the herbs, classics and pills in the stone lattice on the walls around the stone room, there is also the old man's storage bag, the quality of this storage bag is obviously much better than Zhang Yunfan's current storage bag, and after opening it, I found that the space inside is also larger, at least a hundred square meters, enough to put down a house.

The storage bag was rich in items, all kinds of herbs, pills, and the mountains of spirit stones, which made Zhang Yunfan earn a fortune again.

After counting the items, there are more than 500 medium-grade spirit stones in the storage bag**, which is a broken fortune for Zhang Yunfan today. The pills are basically five-grade pills, of which the five-grade pills are the majority, which further proves that the realm of the old man should be above the realm of Guiyuan.

Monks in the quenching stage can usually only take pills of one to four grades, more than four grades of pills, the body of a monk in the quenching realm cannot withstand the medicinal properties, and the five-grade pill is a sign of a monk in the Guiyuan realm, only a monk who has reached this realm has the ability to withstand the fierce medicinal properties of the pill.

In the old man's storage bag, there are basically five-grade pills, and he fully understands that his realm is definitely within the scope of the Guiyuan realm.

This also further confirmed what the old man said before, he was not lying, he should be a certain elder of Canglu Academy, but the specific reason why he hid in the stone room here remains to be studied.

Considering these problems, Zhang Yunfan had a plan in his heart and decided to hide the old man's belongings in a storage bag, and when the opportunity is right, he will come out and dispose of them again and exchange them for some practical things. After making up his mind, Zhang Yunfan put all the items in the stone room into the storage bag, carried the old man's Dan furnace, and returned to the secret room next door.

In order to alchemy before, Zhang Yunfan moved the Dan furnace left by Zhang Xuan into the secret room below, and now he has the old man's Dan furnace, and compared the two Dan furnaces, although the two Dan furnaces are nameless Dan furnaces, but it is obvious that the one used by the old man is slightly higher in terms of quality.

With good goods, Zhang Yunfan looked at the previous Dan furnace again, and he didn't want to use it anymore, but this thing can just be made into an ornament and placed in the alchemy room above, which can just decorate the space and make the alchemy room more like that.

After setting aside the alchemy furnace, Zhang Yunfan made some preparations for the next retreat, solved the problem of eating and drinking, calmed the two courtyard spirit beasts, and then went into retreat.

This is Zhang Yunfan's first retreat in the other world, and it has extraordinary significance for him to come. Because his realm does not match his current identity, no matter how useless Zhang Xuan is, he is still a fourfold cultivation of quenching the body, but what about him? But there is only a mere quenching body, and there is a difference of two realms.

The realm slip is definitely a big deal for the monks, and there are many reasons for it, the most common two are the two, one is that the injury is too serious, and the other is the failure of the advancement, which is also one of the main reasons for the fall of the realm.

For example, the first kind of injury causes the realm to slip, which is a hard injury, which is usually caused in the process of fighting the Fa, so it is difficult to prevent it in advance, while the failure of the advancement is the opposite, and the monk basically knows what it means to fail to advance, which has become a matter of common sense.

In order to avoid such a situation, almost all monks will prepare the elixir to consolidate the realm in advance before advancing, just in case, even if there is an accident at the time of advancement, they will not be defeated, and avoid the occurrence of the situation of not ascending but descending.

Now that Zhang Yunfan has enough pills, there is only one thing to do, to raise the realm as soon as possible, and then return to Zhang Xuan's post and continue to pretend, this is a top priority, last time Mo Yu came to test whether Zhang Xuan was still alive under the banner of visiting, and Zhang Xuan didn't go to give a lecture as soon as they met, so he came out of concern.

Hearing these words at that time, Zhang Yunfan realized a very serious problem, now he is Zhang Xuan, not the Zhang Yunfan before, who can be the shopkeeper and do nothing. Zhang Xuan has a job, if he hides at home for a long time and does not go to the college, the leader will definitely come to the door for questioning.

At that time, the elders of the academy found that Zhang Xuan's realm had fallen, which would inevitably affect Zhang Xuan's status in the academy, making it even more difficult for him to gain a foothold here, and it would inevitably cause some trouble.

As a trust who has just come to the other world, Zhang Yunfan urgently needs a safe haven like Canglu Academy to help him take root in this strange world, and use this as a starting point to further explore the footprints of the Cangsheng Clan, until he finds him and rescues him, so that he can be regarded as completing his mission.

The retreat lasted for half a month, and in this half month, Zhang Yunfan's cultivation has made great progress, from the triple quenching body to the quenching quadruple, which can be described as a rapid progress, before this, Zhang Xuan never dreamed that there would be such an advanced efficiency, but now, all this has been realized in Zhang Yunfan.

A progress gave Zhang Yunfan full confidence, and five times passed in an instant, just when he was full of confidence and ready to impact the quenching quadruple, an unexpected accident disrupted his original plan.

Because he didn't go to class for a long time, the elder of the academy Zhang came to the door, and the person who came was Chu Yan, the elder of the lecture hall, this person has a relatively gentle personality, and he is one of the elders in Canglu Academy, but this time he was very angry, and the tutor Zhang Xuan actually took advantage of the time when he was down the mountain to be absent from work for no reason.

When he returned to the lecture hall, Chu Yan learned about this situation, it was Mo Yu who took the initiative to expose it, and Chu Yan was not so angry at first, but when he asked Mo Yu if Zhang Xuan was looking for another tutor to substitute for the teacher, Mo Yu answered very directly, saying that during the time when Zhang Xuan was no longer there, all the students were studying on their own, but they didn't understand many questions, so they entrusted him to come to the elder to clarify the matter and ask about the specific situation by the way.

Knowing the "details" of the whole thing, Chu Yan was angry, and went directly to Tiezhu Peak to find Zhang Xuan to understand.

The dilapidated wooden house of Tiezhufeng is long gone, and the ruins of the old site have been reclaimed by Zhang Yunfan into a medicine field, in which a large number of medicinal herb seedlings are planted, and the growth is booming. Looking around, Chu Yan's gaze fell on the door of the cave mansion on the mountainside on the other side, and he muttered in his heart, "Could it be that this bastard didn't go to teach because he built the cave mansion?" ”

At this time, Zhang Yunfan was still in retreat, completely unaware that his boss had come to the door, and he still had an attitude of asking for guilt.

Perverse......

Chu Yan's imperial sword flew towards the cave, flew halfway, and was just about to fall, but unexpectedly, an eagle's cry came from the air, and when he turned his head, a black spirit eagle was rushing towards him.

The flying spirit eagle is Hei, before the retreat, Zhang Yunfan specially instructed Hei Hehua to guard the cave and not let strangers approach, at this time, Hei used practical actions to practice the master's entrustment, although he noticed that Chu Yan's strength was extraordinary, Hei still pounced without hesitation.

Chu Yan was taken aback, he didn't expect that there was a mountain protection spirit beast here, and he was spontaneously stunned, Hei had already pounced closer, opened his claws, and grabbed it head. Today's Black Realm is equivalent to a fivefold cultivator in the Quenching Body Realm, and in the face of a Guiyuan Realm master like Chu Yan, he is not vulnerable at all.

"Go, go!" Chu Yan waved his hand and threw out a piece of vitality, but this vitality was not very powerful, and he only used two points of strength, the purpose was to drive the black away.

Chu Yan didn't kill because he knew that this spirit eagle must be a mountain protection spirit beast, as a monk, it was not easy to raise a spirit beast, if he killed it, it would be a lot of losses, this is Chu Yan's virtue.

But Hei didn't appreciate it, he was driven away, and he was still pestering, but this guy was not stupid, until Chu Yan was powerful, so he didn't dare to get any closer, but he kept hovering in the air around him, with a pair of sharp eyes, staring at Chu Yan, extremely nervous and vigilant.

Seeing this scene, Chu Yan was quite surprised, he had seen a lot of spirit beasts, but like this kind of low-level spirit beasts, they were generally not so shrewd, and when they met opponents who couldn't be beaten, they would usually run away, and they didn't know how to maneuver at all, but the spirit eagle in front of him actually adopted a stalking method, and insisted on not letting him go down, and made a reaction that only high-level spirit beasts can have.

Secretly surprised at the same time, Chu Yan still fell, Hei didn't stop him after all, but before he landed, there was a sudden tiger roar in the courtyard, the sound was sudden, which scared Chu Yan a lot, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that a colorful tiger in the shape of an attack was staring at him.
