Surface, next to the teleportation array.

A beautiful oasis has appeared around at any point, with blue lakes, turquoise meadows, clear rivers, beautiful pavilions and lofts.

This is actually a certain elder's cave magic weapon, there is no shortage of enjoyment in it, when traveling in various desperate places, you can live in it to heal and recuperate, and the monks with enough strength will be prepared for this kind of thing.

On the observation tower of the center, more than a dozen elders, including Duan Yuankun, sat inside to raise their glasses and drink together, chatting about some anecdotes in the cultivation world.

The clean-up operation lasted for three months, and the elders certainly didn't wait stupidly outside, so they always had to find something to do.

In mid-air, a light mirror condensed by mana reflected the vast underground world, densely packed with tens of thousands of golden points of light scattered among them, each of which represented an inner disciple who had gone out of the city to fight.

Occasionally, you can see a golden point of light dimming, which probably means that something has happened to a disciple.

Of course, this is a normal situation, how can there be immortals in battlefield fighting? Every time they practice, there will always be more or less disciples who are not strong enough and lucky, and they will fall in an accident, and the elders are used to this.

Unless it is an incident in which a large number of disciples die in a short period of time, it means that there are some demonic powerhouses who have planned to kill the disciples of the sect, and this situation will be worthy of the elders to intervene in person.

“…… It seems that there are more people dead, and this operation has just begun! One of the elders looked at the picture in the light mirror, slightly dissatisfied.

"We have cleaned up this area in advance, and the monsters that are too powerful have been found and killed, and there are some miscellaneous fish left that are not out of the climate, if they still can't survive, then we can't blame others." Duan Yuankun's tone was flat and authentic.

In the vicinity of this kind of underground city that has existed long enough, there are usually no too difficult monsters to appear, and the elders have also inspected it in advance, so it is already very suitable for the trials and tempering of the inner disciples.

Of course, there are always accidents in everything, if some powerful monsters inadvertently break into this area halfway, what will happen can be imagined, if the disciples who are targeted can't survive the moment of the elder's rescue, they can basically only consider themselves unlucky.

"It's okay if there are more dead people, as long as there are no less than five disciples who can advance to the Yunling Realm after this tempering, the Sect Master Supreme will be very satisfied." Elder Mojia of Elephant Island smiled leisurely.

"Five? Your expectations are also too low, I observed the atmosphere of the disciples of your sect before, and there are more than a dozen disciples who have completed their merits and are on the verge of breakthrough, how can there be only five? Duan Yuankun laughed.

Holy Elephant Island has been in the limelight in recent years, with elite and handsome people appearing repeatedly, and the number of core disciples in the sect is also the largest, faintly overshadowing the Xuanling Palace and the Thousand Illusion Peak.

"Having said that, any accident can happen underground, and some disciples may not have enough luck, and we are very satisfied that there are five of them who can successfully break through and return!" Elder Mojia said indifferently.

Duan Yuankun and several elders of Thousand Illusion Peak glanced at each other and did not continue, in fact, the expectations in their hearts were almost the same, as long as three or five disciples could advance to the Yunling Realm and become core disciples, the expected purpose of this operation would be achieved.

No matter how many inner disciples there are, they are only candidates, and only the core disciples are the essence of the sect and the mainstay of the future.

……

In the dark subterranean plains, fierce battles continued.

"Moo~!"

With a strange roar, dozens of blazing sword rays suddenly appeared, beheading a strange monster beast with strange-shaped bone horns, a tiger's head and a bear's mouth, and a body shaped like a mammoth.

On the ground within a radius of 100 meters, the corpses of more than ten monsters have been lying horizontally, and most of them are incomplete, as well as the corpses of many inner disciples, which shows the tragic situation of the battle just now.

"It's finally done!" A slightly tired voice came.

Chu Tiancheng, a handsome man with oily hair and a powdery face, slowly put away his sword, and the maid next to him took out a jade bottle, poured out a pill from it and handed it to him.

"This gloomy ghost place is really not for people." Chu Tiancheng swallowed the pill into his mouth and muttered.

"Senior brother, these monsters are all good things, digging out their heart cores and bringing them back can be exchanged for a lot of sect combat exploits, and this flesh, blood, and scale armor are all very useful." A maid said happily.

Chu Tiancheng nodded: "Put it all away, and then let's leave quickly, the bloody atmosphere here is too heavy." I'm afraid that more monsters will be found soon. ”

……

Hundreds of miles away.

The dense shadow of the spear shrouded the space within a radius of more than ten meters, and the group of demon leaders besieged like crazy, with swords and roars, and the young man couldn't help it.

Gu Cangyun's face was calm, his dark eyes flashed with crazy and excited light, and the spear in his hand was impenetrable, and he was not afraid of many opponents with similar strength.

And every few breaths, a demon would be picked up by the sudden burst of spears, and fall out of the way covered in blood, roaring and struggling to get up again.

It didn't take long for an entire team of demon leaders to be killed by this blue-clothed young man.

"Well, this kind of fight is very good, I have already vaguely sensed the next hurdle, maybe I will be able to break through after staying here for a few more days."

Digging out all the cores of these evil ghosts, Gu Cangyun breathed a little, and quickly left with a war spear.

……

"Huh!"

The sharp sword qi lightly brushed through the face of the demon leader, completely piercing its left eye, and the fierce sword qi came out of its brain, and this powerful guy, who was already extremely close to the spirit realm, roared and fell.

Qin Luyan shook the blade of the sword lightly, shaking off the blood beads on it, the scales of this kind of demon leader are harder than steel, which is more exaggerated than those evil ghosts, ordinary magic swords can't pierce at all, and only the eye part is a weak point, which can be killed relatively easily.

Yu Huan happily rushed over, and in a few clicks, he dug out a fist-sized pale white crystal.

That is the core of the demon leader, where the blood essence of the whole body is, once it advances to become the captain of the demon again, the heart core will transform and evolve into an inner pill, breed and cultivate mana, and become a master comparable to the spirit realm.

If this thing is brought back and handed over to the sect, it can be exchanged for at least fifteen points of combat merit.

Qin Luyan has traveled this way, and there are no less than 300 monsters that she has killed one after another, and she has gained a lot, and the battle achievements are that the three of them have shared a lot together.

Considering that Yu Huan and Mo Xingyao's strength was slightly inferior, Qin Luyan basically took over most of the fighting, and only let them practice their hands when they encountered monsters that were not too powerful, and also pointed out their combat skills.

Walking and killing in such a dangerous area, the consciousness is always in a state of high tension, and I dare not slack off in the slightest. After going through the jerky at the beginning, Qin Luyan had gradually adapted and seemed to be at ease, as the experience of fighting and fighting became more and more sophisticated, she only felt that her spirit and spirit were further condensed, her perception became more and more keen, her qi and blood were strong, and she faintly touched the mystery of the Yunling Realm.

"If you really stay here for three months, fighting and honing every day, maybe it's really possible to break through? After you go back, you can become a core disciple? Qin Luyan thought in her heart.

However, she understood that although this idea was good, it also had to be free of variables, whether it was a powerful monster or an ambush by a disciple of another sect, it might pose a fatal threat to herself.

The three of them walked and stopped, resting for a while every few hours, and gradually entered the depths of the underground plain.

Two days and one night later, a large stone forest appeared in front of me.

On the plain, the black stone pillars and stone pinnacles stand in a disorderly manner, with different heights and thicknesses, and there is a faint mysterious and strange aura emanating from the depths of the stone forest, which makes people feel chills involuntarily.

Qin Luyan just looked at it, and planned to take a detour, this kind of strange area with unknown dangers, it would be better for her to provoke less.

"Yanyan, that seems to be an elixir!" Mo Xingyao said softly.

At the foot of a thick stone peak dozens of zhang away, a bright red plant can be faintly seen, about three feet high, the slender leaves are like rubies, and the half-palm-sized red fruit exudes a pure and beautiful halo, and there seems to be a faint fragrance and sweet smell.

"It seems to be Sword Leaf Tianxin Lan." Qin Luyan frowned slightly.

This thing is indeed a high-grade elixir, and judging by its size, it has grown for at least six hundred years, so it is of great benefit whether it is taken directly or taken back to the sect. If it is handed over to the sect, it can be exchanged for at least three thousand meritorious points, and it is no wonder that she is a little excited.

However, the appearance of the elixir in such a place inevitably made people suspicious, and if she ran over to dig it so excitedly, it was very likely that she would step into the trap.

But if she gave up like this, Qin Luyan was also a little unwilling in her heart.

"Wait here for me, be careful." After weighing it for a moment, she said to the two girls.

Then she walked with her sword in her hand, cautiously approaching the bottom of the stone peak, and she didn't find anything unusual until she got close to the elixir, but the uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense.

Qin Luyan's face remained unchanged, and she threw out a few small array flags and inserted them around to activate, and a faint light curtain appeared, covering her own figure aura, and then she slowly squatted down and began to dig the elixir.

After a while, just as she was able to completely dig out the roots of the sword leaf Tianxinlan and prepare to put them in the storage bracelet, Yu Huan's exclamation came from a distance, and there was a faint sound of fierce fighting.

At the same time, a powerful and cold killing machine slammed into her head, irritating her hairs to stand on end.
