In the depths of the Chalk Mountains, four people floated in mid-air.

Chef Li was enveloped in flames and surrounded by three people.

There was a black flag floating in front of the thin black-robed old man, and the flag was fluttering, exuding a stream of black gas, turning into fierce demon beasts one by one, roaring at Chef Li.

The burly middle-aged man was naked, showing strong muscles, his arms were unusually thick, and thick black hair was born, like the arms of a demon beast, holding an unusually thick scythe, and his burly body was a little small compared to the thickness of the sickle.

The middle-aged woman in a strange costume looked at Chef Li in the center with a gloomy face, surrounded by countless flying insects, and there were more than one kind.

But below it was a mess, the trees were destroyed, the mountains collapsed, the rubble was everywhere, and even the flesh and blood of some animals were scattered among them, naturally the demon beasts that had no time to escape were swept away by the aftermath of the fierce battle between the four people, and their bodies were shattered in an instant.

"Daoist friends for these low-level cultivators?" said the thin black-robed man with a slight frown, the coercion released by this Chef Li was stronger than any of the three of them, and at least it was the cultivation of the late Yuan Infant stage.

"The three Taoist friends have cultivated to such a state, and they don't continue to pursue the path of immortality, but they still have to intervene in this worldly dispute, it is inevitable that they will put the cart before the horse, or listen to my advice to practice diligently, the higher the cultivation, the greater the responsibility, and the burden on the shoulders of the Yuan Infant Monk is very heavy. Chef Li said with a light sigh.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by this?" said the black-robed old man with some confusion, obviously not knowing what the responsibility was.

"The Daoist Friends moved here, naturally because they couldn't solve the thing that was sealed in the forbidden place, and the responsibility was for the sealed thing. Chef Li stared at the black-robed monk and said slowly.

"How did Daoist friends know?" The thin black-robed monk was shocked when he heard this, this matter was a sect secret, even the burly man and the middle-aged woman did not know, and there were less than a few people in the sect who knew about it, and the other people actually knew, how could they not let him be shocked.

"Hmph, you guys patted your ass and left, such a vulgar formation repair won't help at all, and it will collapse after a few years of resistance, it's really irresponsible. Chef Lee continued.

"Could it be that Daoist friends went to that forbidden place?" the thin old man shouted in surprise, and when the other party said this, he naturally saw the forbidden place with his own eyes.

The sect where the black-robed old man is located is the Soul Refining Sect, which is mainly based on soul refining and corpse refining, and there is a forbidden place within the sect, which can only be entered by monks above the Dan stage.

The forbidden land is a barren mountain, there is only one hole, and after entering, it leads directly to a small stone chamber, there is no arrangement in the stone room, only a well in the middle, and the wellhead occasionally spews out some black gas, which can be integrated into the soul refining flag, and can be strengthened by sacrifice.

But in recent years, this forbidden place has been a little abnormal, in addition to the more frequent spewing of black gas, and there is also a trace of death qi mixed in these black gases, death qi is naturally no stranger to the monks of the Soul Refining Sect, they also often collect death qi to refine souls or corpses, but the trace of death qi emanating from this well is not ordinary, and the degree of purity is unheard of even by this Yuan Infant Cultivator.

The black qi soul devouring banner alone can't absorb too much, and after only a small part is integrated, it must be refined immediately, if it is greedy, if the black qi that is fused into it cannot be refined quickly, it will cause damage to the soul inside, and the power of the soul devouring banner will be greatly reduced, and the soul devouring banner will be destroyed if it is slightly more serious.

And although this dead qi is known to be a good thing, it is more difficult to refine, just absorbed into the soul will spread on the soul, only in an instant to dissipate the soul inside, in the beginning, there are several monks in the Dan period The soul eater flag was destroyed, not only the soul inside was dissolved, but even the spirituality of the soul eater flag itself was eroded.

In the entire Soul Refining Sect, only this thin old man in his infancy refined some of his dead qi into the Soul Devouring Banner.

But the dead qi that was slowly mixed with the black gas became more and more abundant, but it was indelible, and it would cause harm to the neighborhood if it spread, so it attracted the attention of the old man in the infancy stage and decided to go down the well to take a look.

Although the death qi is difficult to refine, the independent attack method is not too strong, and it is only the slightest wisp of dead qi, which is naturally easy for the Yuan Infant Stage cultivator to deal with.

The space at the bottom of the well is relatively spacious, with a radius of several acres, shrouded by a formation light cover, only to see the black gas in it rolling, churning like the sea, but seeing clearly, as soon as the black gas touches this layer of formation light cover, it is wiped out by the flickering runes on it, and there are strands of light gray air mass in this black gas, which is a rich dead air.

The black-robed old man observed carefully, only to see that in a position of the light mask, the fluorescence flickered and dimmed, and under the wear and tear of most of the black qi, there were wisps of wisps seeping out from it, and the black qi was still mixed with a trace of dead qi from time to time.

The black-robed monk was confident that there were several ways to deal with these black qi and death qi, but after all, it was not a long-term solution, and the fundamental solution still had to start with the formation, so he summoned Sun Bodang, the formation mage in the sect.

Sun Bodang, who cultivated in the early stage of the Jiedan, had a high attainment in the formation, but after studying it for more than ten days, he still couldn't find the formation base and aura supply of the formation here, and naturally he couldn't repair this formation light mask, so he had to retreat to the second, and arranged a set of formations in the location where the black qi and dead qi were leaking, intercepting and destroying it.

Even so, under the consumption of a large number of spirit stones, the formation method that was deployed could only last for three or four years before it was eroded by black gas and death qi and lost its effect, so it had to be rearranged.

Under the persuasion and coercion of the Yuan Infant Monk, it didn't take much twists and turns, Zhen Zihang agreed to raise a faction and merge into the Soul Refining Sect, and his formation cultivation can be said to be equivalent to Sun Bodang, but the formation technique is very different, although it is also impossible to improve the original formation, but under the combination of the two, the formation can intercept the black and dead qi that seeps out for more than ten years.

Even so, it was not a long-term solution after all, so when the Great Wizard of the Witch Gu Sect wanted to move the sect to the Imperial Capital Plains at the invitation of the Great Wizard of the Witch Gu Sect, this Soul Refining Sect agreed without much hesitation, because they had prepared for this before.

Seeing that the problem of death qi could not be completely solved, the Yuan Infant Stage cultivators of the Soul Refining Sect selected a group of disciples in the foundation building period and sent them to the Imperial Capital Plain, the main task was to collect information from various sects, and even break into the sect to steal art, of course, this is also mainly concentrated in small and medium-sized sects.

"Now that Daoyou has learned about this, I hope to solve my doubts. The black-robed old man ignored the puzzled eyes of the other two, and said after bowing slightly to Chef Li.

"I don't know the details of that dead air, but there are several secret realms in this world that are sealed with things related to this dead air, but some of them are weak and some are strong, and even the secret realm that only appears once in more than a thousand years and can only be entered in the Yuan Infant stage There is also a strong death qi. Chef Li said with a light sigh.

"Now that the three of them have reached this realm, they have to do some things that need to be faced in this realm, and don't care about the entanglements between those juniors. Chef Lee continued.

"It is rumored that there is an opportunity to reach a higher level of cultivation in that secret realm, but is this the case?" the middle-aged woman in strange costumes asked.

"There are rumors of this, and it is impossible to know whether it is true or not, but there are opportunities but also dangers, and I have seen many monks fall because of that dead air. Chef Li sighed lightly.

"Could it be that Daoyou has entered that secret realm?" the three of them asked in surprise.

"That's not true, more than a thousand years ago, I hadn't cultivated to the Yuan Infant Stage, and I only saw that scene when I walked with the elders of the sect, so I still advise the three of them, since they have a place to stay, let's seize the time to cultivate, increase my strength by one point, and have more security in that secret realm." Chef Li said.

"Since the Taoist friend takes such care of the monk of the mountain villa, we will not pursue it anymore, and thank you for your words today. The black-robed old man bowed and said, as for the loss of those sect disciples, he didn't care much, but he felt that suffering a loss would damage his face, so he had the intention of killing them all.

Chef Li was just about to talk, but turned his head to look to the side, the three of them saw this, followed their gaze, and after a few breaths, they saw a figure coming quickly, and in an instant, they were close to a few people, and the momentum released by the whole body was much stronger than the three of them, obviously the cultivation was higher than the three of them, and this person was naturally the helper called by Chef Li before.

The person who came was wearing a light cyan robe, his hair was tied in a bun, his feet were on his feet, his hair was gray, he didn't look at the three of them, he only stared at Chef Li in the middle and said, "Chef, why are you calling me to come to this place?"

"It's settled now, it's fine. Chef Li said with a wave of his hand.

"You, why don't you let you play with the silly boy?" the old Taoist priest flicked his robe and said a little angrily.

"In that case, let's go and arrange our own sects. Chef Li said to the three of them.

"Then I won't disturb the two of you, and I hope to invite the two of you to the sect as guests in my spare time. The three of them bowed and retired.

"Dare to ask Daoyou, why do you want to protect everyone in that villa. The three of them were just about to gallop away into the distance, when the black-robed old man turned around and asked again.

"Sealing Death Qi is indispensable for formation to help, and now that the way of cultivating the True Realm formation has declined, and there is a shortage of formation mages, then Zhao Wenqi is still a well-qualified formation mage. Chef Li said truthfully.

"We will keep in mind the words of the Taoist friends. The black-robed old man nodded and said.
