In the end, Gu Chen decided to take Yi Guichen, Ye No Return, Heiwu, Shen Yan, Sikong Bei, and Xia Yan'er to the Dry Bone Wasteland.

Yi Guichen is the strongest person in the Pantheistic Sect today, with cultivation from the early stage of the Holy Realm, and with the blessing of the Golden-Winged Dapeng Method, it is enough to compete with the middle stage of the Holy Realm.

Now Ye Wugui is already the second strongest person in the Pantheistic Sect, he was originally in the late stage of the third realm of the Heavenly Order, but after transferring to cultivate the Divine Summoning Technique, he took a step further and reached the peak of the third realm of the Heavenly Order, and obtained the soul of the giant-level gods and demons - Cloud Lion.

Although the power of the law has not yet matured and controlled, there are almost no people who can compete with him from under the holy realm.

And Shen Yan and Hei Wu are both in the early stage of the third realm of the Heavenly Order, but their combat power far exceeds the realm, and with the blessing of Bai Ze and Chi Yuan, the overlord-level law ministers, they have the capital to compete with the late stage of the third realm of the Heavenly Order.

Originally, Sikong Bei and Xia Yan'er were not counted by Gu Chen, because it was enough to have Yi Guichen, Ye Wu, Hei Wu, and Shen Yan, and this force was enough to compete with any force except the Lingxiao Sword Sect, Shura Palace, and Donkey Kong Temple.

However, Sikong Bei was determined to go, as for the reason, he didn't say much, but Gu Chen guessed that he could guess a thing or two, because what could make him care so much was nothing more than the survival of the Shura Hall and his life experience.

Although Sikong Bei has no attachment to the Shura Palace, it is also the place where he has lived for more than 20 years, and his biological father may be a high-level person in the Shura Palace, so no matter what, he has to go.

As for Xia Yan'er, since she retrieved the memory of Suzaku, she has only been close to Gu Chen, and she is okay with Murong Zijing, but she is very repulsive to others, especially Lin Mengzhu.

Lin Mengzhu wanted to completely eliminate the sanity in the soul of the Vermilion Bird, although later the crooked attack made Xia Yan'er's soul perfectly fused with the soul of the Vermilion Bird, but Xia Yan'er and the Suzaku were originally one, so after the memory was fused, Xia Yan'er hated Lin Mengzhu very much.

Later, when Lin Mengzhu wanted to check Xia Yan'er's body again, Xia Yan'er suddenly went berserk and directly hit Lin Mengzhu with a "Vermilion Bird Divine Fire".

Although Lin Mengzhu has the cultivation of the late stage of the second realm of the Heavenly Order, Xia Yan'er, who has recovered the memory of the Vermilion Bird, has returned to the peak of her proficiency in the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, and her understanding of the supernatural power has far surpassed that of everyone in the Pantheon Sect.

Because she is Suzaku, one of the four divine beasts of the ancients!

Although the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire is far less powerful than before when it is limited by cultivation, it is not something that Lin Mengzhu, a mortal, can resist.

Fortunately, Nangong Yan arrived in time and saved Lin Mengzhu in the flames, Nangong Yan has the Red Flame Burning Heaven Determination of the Burning Sky Valley, and he also has a very high ability to manipulate the flames, although he is not immune to the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, but he can also resist with his strong cultivation.

In the end, Nangong Yan protected Lin Mengzhu and escaped luckily, but Xia Yan'er's courtyard was not so lucky, and it was directly turned into ashes under the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire.

If Sikong Bei hadn't arrived in time and used the power of Xuanwu water to control the fire, I'm afraid that most of the entire Pantheistic Sect would have been burned!

Gu Chen was still in Linzhou at the beginning, and after coming back and hearing the news, he attached great importance to it, in order to avoid that kind of thing not happening again, Gu Chen had already warned the people of the Pantheon Sect not to approach Xia Yan'er when he and Murong Zijing were not by Xia Yan'er's side.

Xia Yan'er fused a large number of memories, and it was difficult to adapt for a while, and sometimes it was difficult to control her emotions.

However, during this time, she has improved, and her personality has gradually become cheerful in the company of Gu Chen and Murong Zijing, getting closer and closer to Xia Yan'er before.

But it's impossible to completely change back to the way it was before, after all, there are so many more memories.

And how many years Suzaku survived, I'm afraid even she doesn't remember.

...

Since Xia Yan'er wants to follow her to the Dry Bone Wasteland this time, Gu Chen will be left to her, and Gu Chen can rest assured that she is by her side.

And today's Xia Yan'er's potential is simply immeasurable, and Gu Chen is full of expectations for her.

Although she has lost the Vermilion Bird body, her memory is still there, even if she is a mortal fetus with the same flesh as everyone else, her understanding of the power of gods and demons is beyond everyone's, even Gu Chen is no exception.

How strong the Vermilion Bird was at the beginning, Gu Chen was immeasurable, but it was definitely not comparable to the current Holy Realm.

Although the human race has a strong learning ability and can continue to grow stronger with talent and hard work, the weakest ordinary people can't even be called ants in front of the strong people in the Holy Realm, which can be called a world of difference.

But the shackles of race are hard to break.

It is difficult for human beings to reach the power of the ancient gods and demons when they were first born, let alone Suzaku, one of the strongest beings of the ancients.

Xia Yan'er is also a mortal in the flesh now, so it is impossible to be strong to the point where she was at the beginning, but Gu Chen believes that it is only a matter of time for her to reach the Holy Realm!

————————

After the council ended, Gu Chen decided to leave for the Dry Bone Wasteland in three days.

Now, he still has something to do.

In an independent courtyard to which the Blue Dragon Hall of the Pantheon belongs, Gu Chen quietly arrived alone.

At this time, the courtyard door was closed, and there was a "clanging" sound from inside.

Gu Chen didn't knock on the door, and directly crossed the high wall and entered it.

In the courtyard, an old man turned his back to Gu Chen, and there was a cyan giant tripod in front of him, and there was a raging flame burning in the giant tripod, and the upper part of the giant tripod had been burned red.

The old man was wielding a great black hammer and striking a long strip of metal in flames.

Gu Chen didn't bother, but watched the old man's movements with interest.

After a moment, the old man stopped his movements and put the metal into the cold bucket beside him.

Alternating between hot and cold, a burst of white mist suddenly bubbled up.

After the white fog dissipated, his true face was finally revealed.

It was a long knife that was one person high, only the level of a medium-grade spiritual weapon.

With Gu Chen's current eyes, that knife could no longer enter his magic eyes.

But the old man looked at the long knife that had just come out of the oven with great satisfaction, and muttered in his mouth: "Well, yes, yes, it seems that Lao Tzu's forging skills have improved again, this kind of garbage material can actually be turned into treasure, if you get some good materials, refining high-grade spiritual weapons is not easy?"

After Gu Chen heard the old man's self-talk, he realized that the materials of the long knife were really some low-grade materials, such as cold iron, black gold, and emerald stone, which were all used to refine low-grade spiritual weapons, and these materials were actually refined into medium-grade spiritual weapons in the hands of the old man!

"Congratulations to Master Wang for taking a step forward, I think the name of the world's number one refiner will soon change hands!"

That old man was the refining master invited by Gu Chen, Wang Xuan.

A voice suddenly came from behind, Wang Xuan was startled, and hurriedly looked back, only to see a young man wearing a black brocade robe and a gold crown looking at him with a smile on his face.

"It turned out to be Sect Master Gu! The old man of the world's number one refiner still doesn't dare to be delusional, Sect Master Gu has a reputation!" Wang Xuan hurriedly replied, and after a pause, he continued: "By the way, when did you come, the old man didn't even notice it, Sect Master Gu's strength is really unfathomable!"

"This seat has been here for a while, and it is normal for Master Wang to be immersed in the refining weapon without noticing. Gu Chen smiled.

"Sect Master Gu is here, but it's for the sake of the Xuan Tortoise Armor?" Wang Xuan asked Gu Chen.

"The Xuan Tortoise Armor refined by Master Wang has already been seen, it is very good, even the high-grade spirit weapon cannot be injured in the slightest without blessing the Yuan Force, this seat is here to thank Master Wang!" Gu Chen said appreciatively.

"This is all because the raw materials are excellent, which is rare in the thousand-year-old Xuan Turtle Shell World, plus the auxiliary materials provided by the Pantheon Sect are also the best of the best, the old man is just icing on the cake and refining it!" Wang Xuan said modestly, but the smug expression on his face betrayed him, which showed that he was still very satisfied with the treasures he had refined.

After a period of pride, Wang Xuan said regretfully: "However, because the amount of 'Emperor Stone' is too small, only five sets of armor have been refined, and if the materials are sufficient, with the remaining Xuan Tortoise Carapace, it should be possible to refine more than forty sets." ”

"Master Wang doesn't need to worry, my wife has already ordered the Dawn Chamber of Commerce to inquire about the news of the 'Emperor Stone', and I believe it won't be long before there will be a response. Gu Chen waved his hand and said.

"Then the old man is waiting for good news!" Wang Xuan said expectantly.

"Actually, there is another matter that I want to discuss with Master Wang when I come this time..."Gu Chen said without saying anything.

"Sect Leader Gu, but it's okay to say!" Wang Xuan said seriously.

Gu Chen looked into Wang Xuan's eyes and said: "Master Wang's refining skills are extremely superb, and this seat admires him very much, although Master Wang is a reckless and free person, and he doesn't like to be restrained, but wouldn't it be a pity that such skills are buried? ”

Wang Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then his mind turned.

Wang Xuan is still relatively indifferent to fame and fortune, otherwise he can join a big force with his alchemy, but he was disheartened because of some things at the beginning, and he lost interest over time.

But after the Hundred Refining Gate incident, Wang Xuan knew that the Lone Ranger would never be able to compete with the powerful forces.

If a refiner who does not have strong strength wants to refine his weapon safely, he still has to join a faction.

He could feel Gu Chen's sincerity, coupled with the time spent together, Wang Xuan had a very good impression of Gu Chen, and he also liked the atmosphere of the Pantheist Sect.

What's more important is Gu Chen's promise!

Millions a year!

Enjoy the treatment of an elder!

As long as he agrees, he will immediately become a high-ranking figure in the Pantheist Sect.

He had already seen the strength of the Pantheist Sect with his own eyes, and the potential of the Pantheistic Sect was very strong, and in time, it would definitely be able to compare with the Lingxiao Sword Sect.

That's a great thing.

After thinking clearly, Wang Xuan said solemnly: "Thanks to Sect Master Gu, the old man has no other skills, but he still has some experience in refining weapons, Sect Master Gu warmly invited, if the old man refuses, wouldn't he know what to do! So, I am willing to join the Pantheon Sect!"

"Hahaha, okay, good! With Master Wang joining, it's really a blessing for my Pantheistic Sect!" Gu Chen suddenly stroked his palms and laughed.
